Limitless New Year 2018

By Announcement, Event

It’s that time of year. Time for the dreaded New Year’s Resolutions!

But what if, instead of a resolution that was forgotten in 3 weeks, you learned how to put yourself first to make and stick to SMART goals. We don’t believe fitness is a resolution; it’s a lifestyle and we’re here to show you how to achieve that. Whether you’re a life-long mover feeling bored of the same-old routine, or you’re brand new to fitness altogether, we’re here for you.

Come try out Flex Fusion during our FREE Limitless New Year and see what we’re about. We’ll have free barre, bootcamp, TRX, and yoga classes including  Barre 101 and Yoga Basics to start from square one like a pro. Sign up for Meditation and goal setting workshops and stay for free 5-minute chair massages and a popup brow bar so you can start your year off with your best grippy-socked foot forward. Juice samples and fun, healthy snacks will also be provided.

To top it off, our biggest specials of the year will be going on all weekend with your second month free with the purchase of a new annual membership plus take home a free water bottle or gym bag as your new membership perk! Noticing a trend? The whole event is free, focused on you, and will help you start the new year on a positive note.

We’re here to support you, no matter what your fitness and wellness goals. Try something new. You might surprise yourself! This fills up every year, so sign up for Saturday HERE , and Sunday the 14th HERE  just search for Sat & Sun!

 

Can’t wait to meet you!

Why Don’t We Have Long Term Class Packs?

By Blog

Here’s the next question we hear the most often, “Why don’t you have 30 class packages anymore?” It’s not because we’re a) mean or b) trying to trick you. It’s actually because overwhelmingly, long-term class packages are not helpful for the client- they’re just a cash source for the studio. We hear you over there, “that can’t be true!” but come with us on this little journey.

On day one, you buy a 30 class package after deciding to commit to you and your health twice a week. Great! You spend between $400-$525 (We just pulled those from other nearby studios) for a large package with a 6-month exp. and are so stoked to achieve your fitness goals. Month 1 you come 6 times, it’s looking good so far, not too far off your target. Month 2 is busy, so you only make it 4 times but that’s okay. Month 3,4 and 5 fly by and you come twice total. Month 6 is expiration month, so you come 10 times in 3 weeks and then ask to extend your class package so that you don’t lose the rest of your package, but gyms and studios are actually counting on you not using those classes because you’ve already paid.

You look at your fitness goals 6 months later and you are exactly where you were on day one. That’s not what Flex is about. Believe us, it was a tough call to cancel a big ticket item- But coming 1x a month is not going to help our flexfam, it’s just selling a promise we can’t keep. We built Flex to help people actually achieve their fitness goals with support and encouragement. That’s why our memberships are the least expensive in the area and its why we no longer sell large class packs. If you want to work out twice a week, we are so here for it! Grab a silver membership for $125 a month and commit to yourself and your goals. Need to suspend for vacation? We’ve got you. Need a little flexibility? Email us. Flex is designed with you in mind from the second you walk in the door to the moment you sign the 250 barre and beyond. Not sure? We even have month to month options. Remember, it’s only 4{4089a0bf7b40eacc5af059cbcccc6b9244a88eddd0378de36fbeb74437536f4d} of your day- We promise you are worth that commitment and we’re doing everything in our power to get you there.

Why do we sacrifice ourselves first?

By Blog
Hi Flexfam,
Let’s get real for a second…I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last few days and I want to share it with you. So SO sooo often, the first thing a new client says is, “oh, I just don’t have time to workout, but I don’t like how I look!” It’s this self-fulfilling prophecy and reinforcing feedback loop that makes sure you never make time for yourself. Why, when we get a little busier, the first thing we sacrifice is our own health and wellness? You are literally telling yourself that everything else you have to do that day for everyone else is more important than you! It’s so disheartening as a fitness teacher to watch our clients put themselves on the back burner day in and day out. With a little bit of consistency, we can help you stick to your health goals, but we can’t do it alone. We can spend hours planning the perfect class with the best music, but if you don’t commit to yourself? We might as well teach from a script (ack!). There’s a reason airplanes tell you to put your own mask on first. Take 3{4089a0bf7b40eacc5af059cbcccc6b9244a88eddd0378de36fbeb74437536f4d} of your day (just 3!) and make it to that 45-minute class. We’re not even talking the physical benefits here. When you workout regularly, your blood pressure goes down, your quality of sleep improves, your immune system gets stronger and your stress level better regulates itself. You’re likely already in an unlimited membership, so make it a point this week to get 1 more star than you think you can. Go sign up for your next week’s classes in advance and make an appointment with yourself. We’re here to help with the stickers, the challenges, the community and the support. But the first step? That one’s on you <3

Flex to End

Flex to End Breast Cancer- Saturday, October 14th from 9-12

Why I am Making Strides

Two years ago, I was about to embark on the biggest endeavor of my life- opening my own business- when I received a phone call from my mom. We speak multiple times a day, so this in itself was not strange, but the tone of her voice was strained and she asked if I was home and if my husband was nearby. I remember every word of that call. I remember crumbling to the floor when she told me that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer and clinging to the phone when she called me by our secret nickname and promised to fight like hell. You don’t go back from something like that- it never goes away. As we hung up and my husband held me together on the kitchen floor, I shook from the realization that my mother, my best friend, my role model, my support system, was in the fight of her life and there were no guarantees.

She did fight like hell. She embodied strength, resilience, and sheer determination and I am so lucky to be able to type that she still does. My mom received her last chemotherapy treatment in June and is currently, wonderfully, cancer free. It was a horrid fight and the sacrifices she had to make are unbelievable, but she is here today and I will be forever thankful for the donations that were given before that phone call -before it was my mom.

Ten years ago, my mom’s strain of breast cancer was fatal, but thanks to fundraising efforts like this one, she and thousands like her have a chance. People say that you don’t care until it comes knocking at your door, and perhaps that is true. But I hope that we can spare other women- daughters and mothers- from the pain that breast cancer causes, both the physical and the emotional. Maybe when I have to make that phone call, which I almost undoubtedly will thanks to bad genes and a predisposing genetic mutation, it will be less devastating.

I know I will make a difference in the fight to end breast cancer. I know that by raising funds and walking in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event, I can help save lives from breast cancer.

I believe that one day breast cancer will never steal another year from anyone’s life. Making Strides is not only my opportunity to join my community to fight back against breast cancer, but it is also a way to inspire hope by raising funds and awareness to help those facing the disease. That’s why I’m walking.

Every day, the American Cancer Society helps people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early when it is easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it throughout their journey to get well. They are investing in groundbreaking research to find, prevent, treat, and cure breast cancer, and are working to ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.

I have signed up to walk and fundraise with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and I will be volunteering my time and my studio to host our second annual Flex to End Breast Cancer event on October 14th. We will be providing donation based classes, a wonderful silent auction and (of course) snacks and drinks, plus we’ll be raffling off three free months and other great prizes!

Together, we can make strides to end breast cancer. We’ll see you in class.
