Nikki started at The FIT in March but has already made tremendous progress with her strength, conditioning, mobility, and movement competency! And, she just set a new Personal Record with 8 reps of 225lbs in the Hex Bar Deadlift! Nikki’s progress is due in large part to her consistency. She shows up for multiple training sessions each week and is eager to learn. She is highly coachable, has a great attitude, and has an infectious smile and personality! We couldn’t be more proud to have Nikki at The FIT!

Cyrus has been training at The FIT since its beginning in 2010. He recently celebrated his 74th birthday and decided to demonstrate his athletic prowess on one of The FIT’s Balance Boards. As you can see Cyrus has extraordinary balance in the frontal plane and can shift his body side-to-side with great coordination and control. He doesn’t simply balance on the board he DRIVES the board where he wants it to go WHILE balancing on it. This is what training for function can yield- the ability to perform with balance, coordination, and control in unstable, chaotic environments.

Candy just celebrated another milestone birthday and has plans to hike in the Alps with her husband later this year. She has been a regular at The FIT for 10 years and routinely completes group Strength Training and Metabolic Resistance Training sessions each week and supplements her training with long walks outside. Candy has prioritized wholistic training, balanced nutrition, adequate rest, and consistent activity and her results speak for themselves! We are proud of the work she has done, but we are even more proud of the life she is able to enjoy BECAUSE of her commitment to living a healthy lifestyle. When you show up regularly for yourself and trust the process great things will happen.

Join us this Saturday, May 30th at 9am for a special presentation by Hypnotherapist and Life Coach Darrian Knotts entitled "Mental Fitness for Weight Loss." The presentation is FREE to all members and guests of The FIT! Interested attendees please register via the Mindbody app.

Losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle can be extremely challenging for a variety of reasons, but oftentimes the foundational issue is a poor relationship with food, with exercise, or with some other stressful thing/relationship in your life.

Individuals will use food as comfort for dealing with anxiety or as a crutch for avoiding stress. They will avoid exercise because they believe that physical fitness isn't for them or because they've had multiple experiences with failure in the past and don't want to feel like a loser again. Lack of healthy weight loss could also be from simply having an unproductive perspective with your work, a co-worker, spouse, etc. All of these have roots in an individual's mindset and their subconscious. Therefore, shifting the subconscious mind can have a profoundly positive impact on physical results and one's ability to live a healthy, productive, meaningful life.

About the Presenter:

Darrian’s journey with hypnotherapy began early in her life. As a child and then again as a young adult she experienced firsthand how powerful this work can be in gently transforming thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. It helped her grow in ways she once thought impossible and it planted a deep desire in her heart to help others experience that same healing transformation.
Today, Darrian specializes in transformational, client-centered hypnotherapy that blends Ericksonian methodology with both direct and indirect suggestion techniques. Her approach is designed to help clients create lasting change by working with the subconscious mind in a way that feels natural, empowering, and deeply personalized. She focuses her practice on weight reduction, anxiety, emotional regulation, confidence, performance, nervous system balance, mindset, and behavioral change for both adults and children.

In 2024 Darrian was honored to be voted Best Hypnotherapist in Kane County, Illinois, recognizing her commitment to compassionate, effective, and results-driven hypnotherapy,

“Function” needs to be considered with the question of “Functional for what?” What is the task that needs to be completed and in what environment will that task be performed? At The FIT we understand the demands of life can vary drastically, but there are foundational movement demands that are present across the lifespan of most people. The ability to balance and move effectively on one leg while under external load is an important ability that will allow an individual to navigate the demands of their life with more ease and with less potential for injury. So, we train it. And we train it regularly in a wide variety of ways. And the demands of the exercise can always be progressed or regressed to match the capacity of the person performing it. This is how we blend “challenge” with “success” and get our members moving better, feeling better, and looking better than ever before.

Getting down to the floor and getting up from the floor are basic, fundamental human abilities that all too often fade into obscurity as we age. Nevertheless, these fundamental abilities NEED to be regularly trained if you want to keep them in your movement arsenal. If you don’t use it you WILL lose it! The FIT is centered around movement proficiency and movement capacity. We prioritize helping people move with confidence and understanding so they can be a force for good in their families, in their communities, and in the world.
