Do I love the new year because I’m a personal trainer, or did I become a trainer because I love the new year’s holiday? Either way, this is one of my FAVORITE times of year because it’s so full of hope. I talk more about that here.
I already put together all of your workouts for 2019 – if you didn’t grab your tracker from that first link, here you go.
We have a lot of new classes (like HIIT cardio, kickboxing, beginner bootcamp, recovery, and probably more along the way) coming to our group schedule in 2019 (they will be announced first on Facebook and Instagram stories as always), and Zumba is still in the mix, too. We’re also offering tune-up training sessions – single sessions or 3-packs – that are single workouts focused on one or two of your specific goals, questions, or concerns with no nutrition discussion or ongoing commitment. Workshops on goal setting, fun food topics (with samples), and, of course, movement are also headed your way.
I so appreciate everyone who has been a part of the studio, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow with you in 2019. I have big, fun goals for myself and the studio that I’ll be talking about on our YouTube channel and on this blog when I can get to my computer (hint: the theme is FEAR)! I won’t be setting resolutions, though – I’ve got a vision and some goals for January, but I’m taking the year one month at a time because that’s how I’m most successful. I’d love to hear your goals, too, and I’m truly honored if I get to be a part of making them your new reality.
There will be no eulogy nor obloquy for 2018. We did it. It’s done. So long, and welcome this fresh, new, blissfully exciting year of infinite possibilities.
I know I‘ve been a bad blogger this year. What have you missed? I’ve been eating cauliflower rice power bowls and korean tofu lettuce wraps. I’ve been meditating and thinking about mandalas and the healing power of rituals. I’ve been working out at the playground on the bouncy bridge, and in the kitchen while my homemade veggie stock simmers. I’ve been looking back at workout notes from 7 years ago and at my personal journals from 20 years ago. Not every year is a growing year; this was a cocooning year for me, to nourish my soul, process, weave the loose ends back in, reflect on and reconnect with and rediscover things I already am and have and know, and listen to a lot of silence. I don’t value “progress” or “productivity” at any expense – I know we each only get one too-short shot at this life, and I have to live a life that’s true and beautiful to me. I hope you’re doing the same, and I hope you can do it still deeper or brighter or louder or more richly in the new year.
