Considering Joining a Gym? Read On!
This January, don't fall for a gym's "special pricing."
Lots of gyms running specials are counting on you to actually fail. That's right. Your new gym is thinking that after a few weeks of hard work, you'll get wrapped up in work/life, quit, and won't show up. With a price so low, they know it will be super easy to skip a day…two days…a week and so on. That you’ll keep having that withdrawal payment made while holding on to the idea that you’ll get back there…one day. They're banking on you not being able to keep your own resolution.
Is that the kind of support you want?
My guess is no.
In 2020, I'd like to think that we adults have learned from our mistakes. We know ourselves better, and we want more for us.
To that end, I have something to offer you, St. Louis.
Quality, detailed, customized instruction and exercise progression in Pilates. I promise, this is not about leggings, padded bras, not eating cake, and superficial nonsense.
It's about YOU. Feeling well and moving effortlessly in the body you've got.
What my offer means for you:
No long term contract required. I want you to succeed, and if this isn't a fit I don't want you locked in until the end of time.
Group support in mat classes; not distraction from chatting and gossip. Quiet, focused sessions to challenge you, whatever level you are: beginner to advanced.
Studio sessions where no one cares about how cute you look. Make your "ugly" face when the effort is there. Wear something that "makes your butt look big." It doesn’t matter to me. I am here for you, whatever "you" you bring.
Sessions that meet you where you are and progress you to where you hope to be. With me, you won't start off in Pilates at a level that is unsafe to maintain. You are advised, guided, and cued throughout. This isn't "just get on a treadmill and hit GO." Burnout and injury are real risks. I want better for YOU.
So when you’re looking for a way to make a positive change in your life, something that will help you move better and build feel good about who you are, please consider this small but mighty business. I’m here for YOU and will invest in you…if you invest in yourself.
Please note: Obviously, this does not apply to all gyms/trainers/fitness professionals. Just do your due diligence and go with your gut! If you’ve found a good fit, enjoy!
