This topic seemed appropriate after my recent focus that I had leading up to Masters Nationals for Olympic Weightlifting: finding balance. A lot of people have goals or specific events they may be training for in life, ones that require a ton of work and dedication, but it’s important to find balance so you’re also…
When I decided to do a month of Olympic Weightlifting so many people said, “but you’ve been lifting for the past ten years in CrossFit.” Wrong. Not at all the same! Have I from time to time spent 15 minutes in a strength portion of class working on snatches or split jerks, absolutely. However, I…
You’re going to tell me that doing the same 26 poses day after day is somehow different?! Sure it is?! If I wouldn’t have experienced it first hand I wouldn’t have believed this to be possible. Last month I took hot yoga classes three times a week at Hot Yoga Naples. When I say hot,…
The F stands for functional training. The 45 stands for the amount of minutes their classes last. F45 originated in Australia and their studios are popping up everywhere in the US!

Last month I attended classes at House of Flyte and absolutely fell in love with this fitness craze. First of all, there is a certain amount of trust that has to happen in order to make this work. You have to trust yourself, the instructor, but in the case of suspension, you also have to…
If you’re looking for classes that range from ballet barre to tribal dance in a female friendly , “non-judgement zone” environment, then The Sand Barre just might be where you find your flock! From the moment you step into The Sand Barre you’re greeted with smiling faces and once you walk back to the studio,…
There are so many positive reasons to go to bvibrant Wellness Studio, it’s hard to know where to begin! I am so glad I’m doing this #fit12journey, otherwise I may never have discovered this place!
