I have something to say about my friend Summer Milliken Thompson, MissLou Physical Therapy. As you all know, my life had a pretty huge upheaval recently and the stress of this experience has been like none I’ve ever experienced, which soon resulted in me not being able to eat and losing 12lbs. Through this I continued training to help alleviate some of the stress, but soon ended up with debilitating pain, because of lack of nutrition and sleep.

Summer treated my pain, shared her meal prep and provided a place for me to train in quiet peace. I’ve done all the exercises she prescribed and have been eating with more intention, mostly protein, everyday, also as she prescribed. Today I woke up for the first time in weeks with no pain 🙌🏻.

So here’s what I have to say. I know Summer is one of my best friends and I could say so many great things about her, but when someone who has the depth of knowledge she has, tells you what you need to do to help your pain, just do it! Listen to her advice and expertise and do the homework, eat the food, move your body and trust the process. This community is blessed to have such a talented DPT in its midst. I’m so grateful to be pain free today I could just cry. Thank you Summer xo

This is a sad strange time for us and to make this announcement was the last thing I wanted to do, but I have no choice. Historically this has always been our biggest wave of the year since beginning the Miss/Lou Amazing 12 in August 2014. Please feel free to message us or leave a voice mail if you’d still like to do any of our programs at a future date. We’ll be sure to stay in touch. xx

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to give y’all an update even though nothing as far as a timeline has changed, but the state of my building has changed tremendously. At the moment my entire home which resides above Pure Strength Studio is either in the giant dumpster in front of my bldg or on its way for clean up and the ionization chamber.

Pure Strength Studio itself will be cleaned in place and many things also disposed of, depending on the degree of the damage.

I’ve received many messages from people wanting to begin our Fall wave, our biggest wave, next week and I’m very sorry to report, it’s going to be a while before we’re able to take any new clients. I wish I could give you a timeline but I simply cannot at the moment.

Little know fact……. Pure Strength Studio has been in existence for 18 years. We have weathered MANY crazy times, COVID, arctic freezes, location moves, renovations, etc. BUT we’ve always remained strong and diligent. It is because of our current clients that this is so, and we are so very thankful. We will be back and I have to believe stronger than ever 💪🏼. Please be patient with us, I promise y’all will be the 1st to know when we’re back in business.

So much love and so many thanks for the prayers and well wishes from everyone. We appreciate them more than you know 🙏🏼

TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO DOWNTOWN FIRE.

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to give an update on my building which house my business Pure Strength Studio and my newly renovated home. On Sunday, July 12 Delta Fuel sadly burned completely, which I’m sure you all know. My building was attached by a very large portion of brick wall and in turn the contents of my building experienced catastrophic smoke, water and heat damage.

At this point we are indefinitely closed, for how long, we have no idea. The clean up and restoration is going to be extensive, but I promise to come here and update y’all as I receive information. If we’re not getting back to you it’s because we’re in the process of navigating insurance claims, clean up crews etc.

Thank you so much for your concern, prayers and love. I am thankful no one was injured and that Andy and my beloved cat Emmitt were able to escape the building before the smoke overtook them. We are going to move through this with grace and dignity and we’ll see y’all on the other side ☮️ 🙏🏼

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the calls and texts. We are fine and it looks like our awesome firefighters have the fire contained in the Delta Fuel building, thank goodness. We’re not sure at this point if we’ll be able to get back in our building for the next few days. We’ll keep y’all updated when we know more. Please keep our Delta Fuel neighbors in your prayers. Their building is devastated.

Thanks for all of the messages… Emmett and Andy are safe and out of the building… We will update once we know more about the damage
