As a 24 year old single mom, there were days I wasn’t sure how I’d survive.

When I built this little women’s gym in 2013, I was simply hoping I’d make it.
I never imagined that one day we’d have to bust out walls and double the size because so many incredible women would call this place home.

This gym became so much more than a place to work out.

It became a place where women laughed until they cried, cried until they laughed, celebrated victories, carried each other through hard seasons, and built friendships that will last a lifetime.

I truly believe every woman who walked through these doors added a little bit of her strength to this place.

After 13 unforgettable years and the honor of coaching hundreds of amazing women, it’s time for a new chapter.

I’m retiring from my small group training program as of August❤️

I’ll continue offering private and semi-private training 2 days a week , and I’ll be pouring more time into growing my fitness app so I can help even more women, no matter where they live… as well as working in my garden and playing with friends and family!!.

Thank you for every workout, every laugh, every tear, every friendship, and every memory.

Each one of you made this little gym something truly special and I will never forget it!

🎤💪 **This is what happens when women feel safe enough to be themselves.**

Sometimes a woman walks through our doors carrying the weight of her day.

She’s stressed.
She’s overwhelmed.
She’s doubting herself.
She’s running on empty.

And then... something amazing happens.

She starts moving.
Someone makes her laugh.
Another woman cheers her on.
The music gets turned up.
Before you know it, she’s using a dumbbell as a microphone and giving us her best karaoke performance. 😂🎶

No one is judging.
No one is worried about looking silly.
We’re just women showing up for each other.

❤️ That’s the kind of place we’ve built.

A place where it’s okay to laugh until your cheeks hurt.
A place where encouragement comes naturally.
A place where strong women lift more than weights... they lift each other.

Every class is a reminder that fitness isn’t a punishment.

It’s a celebration of what our bodies can do and the friendships that make us want to come back again and again.

By the end of the workout, the stress has melted away.
The smiles are real.
The confidence is back.
And somehow, everyone leaves standing a little taller than when they walked in.

That’s the magic of finding your people.

Not because every day is easy...
But because you don’t have to face it alone.

💕 If you’ve been looking for a place where you can get stronger, laugh louder, and leave happier than you arrived... we’d love to welcome you.

Because around here, we don’t just build muscle...

We build friendships, confidence, and a whole lot of unforgettable memories. 💪✨

🌅 Your morning routine gets a lot of attention. But what you do the night before matters just as much, maybe more!

If I don’t pack my lunch the night before, I end up eating random food. More fat and carbs eaten, more calories consumed, and the meal usually leaves me with regrets because it is not aligned with my goals 🙀

When you skip your nighttime routine, it’s like starting tomorrow already behind.

And since your stress hormones are naturally higher in the morning, starting your day in catch-up mode just makes everything harder.

📌 Save this post to remind yourself tonight.

This man! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Today we celebrate you and the amazing man, father, husband, grandpa, and friend that you were for 95 well lived years!

You golfed, gardened, laughed, and enjoyed life right up until your last day!

You have left a legacy for your kids and grand kids that will never be forgotten

You have always been an inspiration to me in my athletics and education.

I will always remember our trips to the cabin, skiing, bike rides around Angel island, Oakland As baseball games and our nighttime walks ( that seemed like 20 miles to my short legs but helped me build mental stamina to run marathons)

I will always remember how you and mom made it to EVERY single one of my Cross country meets

I will always remember how you taught us to budget and be wise

I will always remember what you created in your business and that parts of it still live on ( more on that later!)

I will ALWAYS remember your adorable sense of humor, the “figments of you imagination” and your childhood stories

I will always remember your kind heart and wisdom

I will always remember your devotion to and protection of your family

I will always remember your hankies and the way you had such a routine

There’s just so much. Your inspiration is endless.

I will always keep striving to “Be the Phil!”

I will miss you so, so much it hurts!

Say “Hi” to mom and keep your elbows off the table when you’re pouring her a glass of wine!

We love you forever

FACT!!
The results you want WILL take time and intention ‼️

🛒I used to go to the grocery store 3x every week … each time took about 45 min out of my life!

🤷🏻‍♀️Nearly every busy woman over 40 trying to feed herself and her family a healthy diet can probably relate.

I’d go to the store and have no actual plan of the meals I was going to make that week.

Not only would I spend way more time than I needed to but I’d spend more money, buy things ( Read: treats) that didn’t serve my goals and spend more money ( on foods that would eventually go bad because it sounded good but I didn’t have a plan for them )

What changed? I started taking just a few minutes each Saturday to map out a plan for the week ahead. That is literally all it takes… just a few minutes

Then I shop on Sunday while I’m already out and about after church

Here’s what I focus on now:
✅ Keeping a short list of staple foods I buy every time

✅ looking at the week ahead to determine which days will be too busy for cooking are preparing a meal - that’s when I plan on leftovers, pulling something out of the freezer, pawning the cooking off on my husband or finding a good crockpot meal ( go follow me on Pinterest for some good ideas)

✅ planning for snacks and sweet treat dupes when a hankering hits

✅ looking at one meal of the day at a time and choosing what to have as well as what to put on repeat

✅Getting used to eating the same or similar things each week ( for example, we ( meaning my man) always grill something in bulk on Sundays to be sure we have extra for lunches,
we always have fish in Mondays, I always make a huge salad on Sundays so I can nosh on it for lunches throughout the week…)

✅I order staple in Amazon to make sure I don’t run out and I save myself time at the grocery store ( see my link in bio for my go to Amazon pantry staples) https://geni.us/JqbTO link tree https://linktr.ee/missibalison

Not only has it made shopping easier, I’m saving a ton of time every week.

I can use that extra hour and a half to prep some healthy meals which will get me closer to my goals

Now I’m in and out in 30 mins with a ca

💪🏻This is a simple complete workout for those times when you’re traveling but have not gym and still want to stay consistent .

Complete 3 to 4 rounds. Rest 60 seconds between rounds. Focus on control, not duration.

✅ Squats – 12 to 15 reps: Bodyweight or goblet style if you have a weight
✅ Push Ups – 8 to 12 reps: Modify on knees or elevate hands on a bench or chair if needed
✅ Split Squat – 10 reps per side: Engage pelvic floor on the way up and breathe
✅ Bent Over Row – 12 to 15 reps: Use dumbbells, a suitcase, or a resistance band. Keep your core strong.
✅ Plank – 30 to 45 seconds

Optional Finisher (5 minutes):
If you have time and want to push a little:

20 seconds fast movement such as mountain climbers, high knees, burpees, or brisk marching
40 seconds easy marching in place
Repeat for 5 rounds.

⭐ Save it. Try it, and you’ll walk away feeling like you got it DONE!

If you feel like you’re on an energy rollercoaster all day… this is why 👇

Most women are:
❌ Skipping protein
❌ Starting with sugar + caffeine
❌ Crashing → craving → repeating

💥 Here’s what I do instead:

✔ Protein at every meal
✔ Pair carbs (don’t eat them alone)
✔ Add fiber
✔ Support sleep (magnesium = game changer) see my link in bio for my favorite BiOptimizers sleep supplements

And the difference?

✨ Stable energy
✨ Less snacking
✨ Better workouts
✨ Easier fat loss

No extremes.
No starting over.

Just a body that finally feels supported 💛

Summer is right around the corner ☀️ and you KNOW I’m all about a big, fresh veggie chop salad 😍🥗
This is one of my go-to meals when I want something:
✨ Light
✨ Crunchy
✨ Packed with nutrients
✨ And actually satisfying
I basically grab whatever veggies I have, chop them up, add some protein… and drizzle it with a simple homemade dressing 💥
👉 Here’s what’s in this one:
🍅 Sliced grape tomatoes
🥒 Cucumbers
🥕 Grated carrots
🫛 Chopped snap peas (the crunch = EVERYTHING 🙌)
🌿 Fresh cilantro
🫘 Chickpeas
👉 Add your favorite protein (chicken, tuna, tofu, etc.) to make it a full, balanced meal 💪

✨ Dressing (SO good):
🥄 ¼ cup sesame oil
🥄 ½ cup white wine vinegar
🥄 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
🍋 Juice of 1 fresh lemon
✨ ½ tsp McCormick Ginger Sesame seasoning (I am OBSESSED 😍)

This is how I keep things simple AND support my goals 👇
✔ Fiber
✔ Protein
✔ Healthy fats
✔ Flavor that makes you actually WANT to eat it
No boring diets… just real food that works 💛
Save this for your next grocery run 🛒✨
