Kayli Montoya Fitness-Phoenix Rising

09/03/2026

We’re going to take this Saturday off for Labor Day weekend. With so many of you celebrating, spending time with family, or traveling, I figured it was the perfect weekend to give everyone a little break.

Enjoy your weekend, make some memories, and have some fun!

RISE will be BACK next Saturday at 9 AM at Alpha Fitness!

Same great workout. Same awesome community. And hopefully a few new faces ready to join us! 🧡

See you next Saturday!

When I met Kayli, there wasn’t a perfect roadmap.
No easy story. No silver spoon. No life that had handed her comfort or stability.

What I saw instead was drive.
Work ethic.
Heart.
And a level of kindness and resilience that most people never fully develop.

And honestly?
It felt like home immediately.

Not in some fairytale way—
in that rare way where you meet someone and your nervous system just knows you’re safe there.

We built everything together from the ground up.
And a huge part of what we’ve built exists because of the kind of person she is:

Hardworking.
Giving.
Loyal.
The type of woman who will carry everyone around her before she ever thinks about herself.

People see Phoenix Rising now.
The business. The community. The strength.

But behind so much of it is Kayli—quietly loving people, supporting people, and working harder than anyone realizes.

I’ll never stop being proud of her.

Not just for what she’s accomplished…
but for who she chose to become despite everything she’s been through.

NEXT THURSDAY IS BRING-A-FRIEND DAY!

We had 4 new faces join us for Sunrise Yoga this morning, and I’m so excited that they all said they’re coming back! One even said she’s bringing a friend next week… and that gave me an idea. 👀

So let’s make it easier (and cheaper!) to try it together!

BRING A FRIEND SPECIAL

Bring someone to Sunrise Yoga and you BOTH get in for just $5 each!

That’s right. . . normally it’s $10 per person, but next Thursday you can bring a friend and you both pay just $5.

If you’ve been saying:
“I really want to try yoga…”
“I’m just nervous to go by myself…”
“I’ve never done yoga before…”

THIS is your week.🧡

Grab your friend, your spouse, your coworker, your roommate, your kid (with a parent), whoever you want and come start your Thursday morning with us!

Everyone’s worried about labs, scans, and numbers…
Meanwhile your body is quietly telling the real story—and no one’s checking it.

There are four things that will matter more for your 60s than most of what gets tested at your annual physical:

Grip strength.
Not “nice to have.”
One of the strongest predictors of how long you live. Lose strength here? Risk goes up. Period.

Glutes (specifically your hip abductors).
These are what keep you upright when life throws you off balance—literally.
When they’re weak, your ability to catch yourself disappears. That’s where falls happen. And falls after 65? They change everything.

Calves.
Not just for aesthetics.
They’re a snapshot of your total muscle reserve. Low muscle here = lower resilience when your body is under stress.

Your diaphragm.
Yeah… breathing is a strength skill too.
When it weakens, so does your ability to recover, regulate stress, and even protect your lungs.

None of this is complicated.
But it is intentional.

At Phoenix Rising, we’re not training for a season.
We’re training for decades.

Strong hands.
Stable hips.
Capable legs.
A body that can actually support you when it matters.

This is the stuff that determines whether you stay independent… or don’t.

So no—this isn’t just “working out.”

This is longevity.

Act accordingly.

There’s coaching…
and then there’s premium service 😏

Before anyone gets confused—
this level of attention is highly exclusive and reserved for exactly one client.

Kayli gets the gold star treatment. Everyone else gets cues like “brace your core” and “drive through your heels.” Be grateful.

But in all seriousness—this is what we’re about.

Training hard.
Laughing harder.
Building strength in a way that actually feels like your life… not something separate from it.

Because if you can’t enjoy the process,
you won’t stick with it.

At Phoenix Rising, we take your progress seriously—
just not ourselves all the time.

Now go lift something heavy.
Respectfully.

One of the most underrated parts of healing, growth, and overall wellness?

Your environment.

And yes—that includes the people around you.

Because it’s really hard to become your strongest, healthiest self while surrounded by people who secretly compete with you, minimize you, gossip about you, or feel threatened every time you grow.

Not everyone clapping for you is actually happy for you.
And your nervous system knows the difference.

Real friends speak highly of you when you’re not in the room.
They celebrate your wins without making it weird.
They don’t punish you for evolving.

That matters more than people realize.

At Phoenix Rising, we talk a lot about nutrition, training, hormones, stress management…

But who you allow close to you?
That impacts your health too.

Because peace isn’t just meditation and supplements.
Sometimes peace is realizing you’ve outgrown people who only felt comfortable with the older, smaller, less healed version of you.

Choose your circle accordingly.

The fact that this woman can navigate an aerial ropes course with more confidence than she can navigate a conversation about literally anyone’s life will never not make me laugh. 😂

Her friend could announce a divorce, a cross-country move, a pregnancy, a felony, or a surprise appearance on The Bachelor and Kayli would be like…

“Oh really? I didn’t know that.”
Ma’am. You were there.

Living with someone this relaxed is an experience. Nothing is urgent. Nothing is memorable. And apparently, nothing that happened yesterday is guaranteed to make it into today.

Meanwhile, I know what her friend had for breakfast in 2019 and somehow that is my problem.
