"Every instructor is so kind and empowering but don’t let them fool you, they will kick your butt (in the best way possible). I love when Libby says she’s our hype girl because there are no better words to describe her!"

How did you first hear about HG Studios and what made you give us a try?
I found HG Studios just through a simple Google search originally looking for a cycle studio. When I found out there was also yoga and Pilates it was an added bonus and I after my first few classes I cancelled my other yoga and Pilates memberships.
My first class was a cycle class and I was nervous because it was my first time in a cycle class since having two babies but right away I was welcomed and felt comfortable.
What keeps you motivated & coming back for more?
It is truly amazing the sense of community I feel here. It is something I’ve never had before and honestly didn’t even know I needed. It is really special to be within a community with these strong amazing women. My two girls really keep me motivated to stay active and healthy too.
I am really lucky to have found HG Studios. I moved to the area about seven years ago not knowing anyone and had a really hard time trying to find my place here but at HG I feel like I was welcomed with open arms and haven’t looked back. I only wish I joined sooner!
Do you have a fitness (or other) goal for this year?
My fitness goal is always to become stronger and push myself so consistency is always on my mind. I’ve realized going to classes not only help me become stronger but also really helps my mental health. Going to a class is my favorite “me time”.
What advice do you have for other moms of young children who struggle to find the time to exercise?
When I first started going to HG, Heather mentioned that an hour is a small percentage of the day and it stuck with me. It is such a tiny part of the day that really improves the WHOLE day. It is so important to take time for yourself.
Before joining HG, I was working out at home so my girls have always seen fitness as a regular activity and it just became part of everyday life. It is definitely easier now that my kids are in school (my youngest part time) to make it to a class right after I drop them off. I also put on my workout clothes right away in the morning so there is no excuse not to go because I’m already ready! It’s also super helpful that there are early and mid-morning classes!
