Hello Fit Crew,
How are you?
We are at it again! Another, even stricter, lockdown. What is abundantly clear is that we are resilient, and will prevail. I know you well enough to know that you are no stranger to digging deep and now more than ever we will do this… again.
So what is the future of fitness for us? For those that need the gym fix, it’s still going to be there. For those that have found untapped potential in the comfort of your own homes, you will continue. And, many people will be riding both – because community, flexibility and convenience are shaping up to be the future of fitness.
If you are getting back in the saddle, I offer three thoughts:
- Ease in. Take it slow and be smart.
- The universe will always match your energy. Obsessing on NOT working out will get you more of that.
- Celebrating the smallest of wins is vital to your recovery. Every step towards reclaiming your former rhythm is good- ONE workout is better than NO workout.
Just keep moving- the ultimate immune booster – because you can!

New Blog
A huge thank you to those who have supported me in so many ways over the years of teaching. The move to offering a paid program was a tough one – and here’s my recent blog on the matter: “Confession of a Fitness Instructor: How to move from “free”

As many of you know, along with fellow instructors Theresa Carriere and Michelle Kerr, we created a space to keep our fitness community alive. Fitness For All continues to grow, with new instructors – welcome Dawn Bowman and Michelle Moses – and offers over 20 classes/weekly!

“Meeting my friends from the comfort of my own home, working out with great instruction has been my go-to resilience booster during this time.
“So much to choose from, my body has seen changes like never before.”
