Happy Birthday to our Wendy!!!!!!

Wendy’s story with The Hot Spot started long before she was ever an instructor. She was a longtime client — soft-spoken, a little shy, and someone who has always moved with so much grace.

When we approached her about joining our team, we knew there was something there. What we didn’t know was just how much she would take it and RUN with it.

She trained with us in-house, then continued pushing herself further, diving deeper into her education and her Vinyasa practice. Watching her grow into the instructor she is today has been so dang cool.

But somewhere along the way, we got to know a whole other side of Wendy too. The Wendy who shows up for EVERYTHING. The one you can text last minute and somehow she’s down. The one who’s always ready for a good time, a random adventure, or just hanging out with the crew.

Our once quiet, shy client has completely made her way into this little family of ours, and we couldn’t imagine it without her now.

Wendy, we are SO proud of you, of the instructor you’ve become, the way you continue to challenge yourself, and mostly, just the person you are.

Happy Birthday, Wendy! We love having you in our corner and in this crazy little Hot Spot family. 🤍

Shall we add some paddle board classes back in?!?

A few schedule updates are headed your way at The Hot Spot!

We’ve spent the last few weeks settling into our adjusted schedule, seeing where there’s room for more, and figuring out what makes the most sense for both our instructors and our community. Now we’re ready to start adding a few things back in!

Here’s what’s coming first:

• Tuesday, September 1
5:30 PM Strength with Tayla

• Starting Tuesday, September 15
6:30 AM Power Half Hour
Alternating between Kylee + Karlee

• Starting Friday, September 18
8:00 AM Gentle Strength + Mobility with Colleen

And there’s more in the works.

As we move through the end of September and into early October, you’ll see a few more time frames make their way onto the schedule. We like giving each adjustment a little room before adding the next so everyone has a chance to find their new routine.

We also have a couple of new instructors joining The Hot Spot team soon, bringing even more options and a little new energy to the schedule.

As always, our goal is to give you plenty of ways to move, with different class styles, instructors and times that can fit into real life.

Keep checking the schedule, we’ve got some fun additions ahead!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR ANGELA!

How do you even explain Angela? Quirky, ridiculously smart, smiley, hilarious, thoughtful, silly and somehow all of those things at the exact same time.

She’s basically the mom of The Hot Spot crew… but like, the cool mom.

Angela has been our Vinyasa girl for years, but somewhere along the way she decided to bring that personality into Sculpt + Strength too and we are SO glad she did. She can have an entire room laughing one minute, working their butts off the next, and then somehow bring you all the way down into the deepest meditation five minutes later. The range this woman has.

But truly, Angela is one of those humans you just cannot be around without smiling. She is incredibly talented, intelligent, caring and genuinely SO much fun to know.

The perfect combination of depth + absolute silliness.

We love you BIG, Angela. Happy Birthday to one of our very favorite humans. 🤍

October is getting closer, and we officially picked our THREE runners whose Palace City Kiwanis 5K/10K entry will be covered by The Hot Spot!

Michaela Steffen

These three were chosen for so many reasons — the miles, the consistency, the improvement, the work they’ve put in and, honestly, the smiles they continue to bring every Tuesday. We’ve watched them show up, push themselves and just keep getting better, and we’re so excited to have them represent our Run Club in October.

But we’re just as excited about the whole crew behind them.

We have a handful of runners joining us in October who have NEVER run a 5K (or more!) before. That right there is what this club has been about from the beginning. Not being the fastest. Not being the “best runner.” Learning, getting stronger, putting in the work and maybe realizing you’re capable of a little more than you thought.

We are SO proud of this crew and still have plenty of Tuesdays left before race day!

And a big thank you to Palace City Kiwanis for partnering with us and giving our runners something pretty dang fun to work toward. We can’t wait to see everyone out there in October!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Lexi!

If you’ve taken one of Lexi’s classes, you know exactly who we’re talking about. The little hoops and hollers, the biggest smile, and somehow the ability to make you laugh while your legs are absolutely on fire.

Certified in barre, but always willing to jump in and teach whatever is needed, Lexi brings so much energy, kindness, and heart to our team. She’s the definition of small but mighty, and her classes prove it every single time.

We’re so lucky to have the cutest little button as part of The Hot Spot family. Thanks for always showing up, cheering everyone on, and making this place brighter just by being you.

We hope your day is every bit as wonderful as you are. Happy Birthday, Lexi! 🤍

We figured it was time for a little Run Club update. 🏃‍♀️

Back in May, we started meeting every Tuesday at 5:30 PM with one goal in mind... the Palace City Kiwanis 5K on October 4th. Since then, it’s turned into so much more than just training for a race.

Each month we’ve found a rhythm that’s been working really well.

Week 1 is conditioning circuits outside whenever we can, adding sprints, battle ropes, hops, and runner-specific movements.

Week 2 is resistance band training.

Week 3 is strength training.

Then Week 4 (or a bonus Week 5) is our group run from The Hot Spot to the Corn Palace and back. Honestly... it’s become one of our favorite nights. A few weeks ago, some of the businesses along Main Street offered our runners water as we came by, and it was one of those moments that just reminds you how great our community is.

The coolest part has been watching everyone’s goals change. We started with a group training for a 5K. Now we have people talking about a 10K, a half marathon, or simply feeling more confident running than they ever thought they would.

We aren’t trying to create elite runners. We’re learning how to move better, breathe better, train smarter, and enjoy running for what it is. Some days it’s hard, but most days it’s become a chance to clear your head, get outside, challenge yourself, and spend an hour with a pretty great group of people.

As race day gets closer, we’re getting excited to cheer everyone across that finish line. We’ll be covering the race entry for our two most consistent Run Club members, and everyone who reaches 75% attendance will receive a discount code for the Palace City Kiwanis races.

We’ve still got plenty of Tuesdays left before October 4th if you’ve been thinking about joining us. We’d love to have you.

We wrapped up another weekend feeling pretty grateful.

Thank you to everyone behind the Corn Palace Farmers Market for giving us such a great place to move every summer. We love being part of Saturday mornings at the Green Space.

Thank you to the Art in the Park committee for putting together such a fun event for our community. It’s always one of those weekends that reminds us how much Mitchell has to offer.

And thank you to Wild Oak Golf Course for inviting Kris and our team to be part of your benefit. We were honored to spend the morning with you.

To everyone who came to class, stopped by, waved, or simply shared a smile along the way... thank you. We don’t take it for granted. We love getting to be a small part of this community and weekends like this are a good reminder of why.
