1 year ago today I took a complete leap of faith and rented a studio space in a town we had just moved to and knew hardly anyone to teach a group fitness classes.
A month before opening I flooded my new neighborhood with flyers, and posted on the online garage sale sites and held a few free classes in the park.
The Tuesday after Labor Day I held my first class Not even knowing if anyone would show up!
With the support of some amazing ladies and word of mouth I can say after 1 year Champions Fit with Liz is still going!
This journey has not been easy! There were mornings I didn’t want to wake up at 5am, mornings I honestly had no one show up for classes, mornings I had more people than planned show up and I had to figure out extra stations, mornings I wanted to quit and mornings I left so excited because of the ladies I see making changes and getting stronger every class.
In the last year I have gotten to know so many women who I may have never met! Women I have watched push themselves and leave proud. Makes me want to cry writing this! I watched some of my amazing ladies struggle as we all trained for events together and than finally hit a breakthrough and their faces light up! Like holy crap I did it! Ladies who couldn’t do an exercise on the Trx system or couldn’t do 1 push up after a couple months being able to do them and get so excited! It’s that feeling and seeing them do it that continues to get me out of bed at 5am!
From the 5:30 am classes (some days to hot and other days to cold), to the kids class we did where I got to meet some of your amazing kiddos, to the women’s self defense class we did, to the PowHer House challenge that you ladies kicked ass in, and the photoshoot goal some of you rocked... I am so extremely proud of you ladies and can not thank everyone enough who has supported me this last year In growing Champions Fit!
I promised myself I would give it one year and I’m glad I stuck it out even in the months where it got tough.
I am proud to say Today marks the one year anniversary of Champions Fit with Liz!
Thank you all so much and I can not wait to see what this next year brings
