September Client of the Month!
"I love the HG Studios community! It is very motivating to do classes with other members who also want to get stronger and stay healthy. The instructors are fantastic. They are encouraging, knowledgeable, and fun! They make you almost forget you are doing 200 squats or cycling for 60 minutes." - Colleen Rollins
How have you exceeded your own expectations in your health and fitness? Any new goals?
When I first started taking early morning classes I never thought the time would be part of my regular routine. However, after trying several different times, I found that if I wanted to stay consistent the morning was the best time to get it done. I consistently attend a variety of early morning classes that keep me motivated to stay the course. I feel off the entire day if I can’t make it to one of my regular classes.
One of my 2024 goals is to continue increasing the weight I am using in my classes, especially the strength classes. I find it too easy to get to a comfortable place and stop moving forward.
How do you stay consistent and motivated?
I stay consistent with my early morning classes by making them part of my life and routine. I schedule all my classes in advance and as soon as they are posted on the site. This makes it easier for me to stick with my schedule. I am much happier when I start my day with some type of exercise. Even though it’s often still dark and I’m tired walking into class, after I finish, I feel energized and ready to tackle my day!
Is there a type of exercise you thought you would never do, but you do now?
Yoga. I have taken yoga classes in the past (at other studios) and found them to be too slow and boring. However, I have been taking the Sunday morning Recover yoga class with Cassie. I love everything about it! I love the journaling, slow stretching, and meditation. After a busy week it is just what my body, mind and soul needs.
We have a Myzone MEP Challenge this month, what would you say to someone on the fence?
Just DO IT! I love my Myzone. It motivates me to work harder in my classes and it allows me to track all the classes I have completed. The Challenges are super fun, allow you to meet more HG members (especially if you are like me and stick to a specific class time) and motivate you to exercise even move than you do on a regular basis!
