You are Here!That's right, You Are Here! You deserve to be here and you are going to make the most of it! No matter how, when or why you showed up, you did and your health and fitness is going to thank you for it. You made the choice, and just by showing up, you are already ahead of the game.  Give a shoutout to these Inspirers who got to 66 workouts for the year following this month! -Jim H -Terri H -Katie J -Katie B - Beth S  Going for that Crown!

12 Days of Fitness!!It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes it's the holiday season, which also means it was also time for the 12 Days of Fitness! A fan and Kiersten favorite, this program is always a great way to wrap up the year. This time we had some great accountability groups, which really helped us push each other higher and further!  Give a shoutout to these Inspirers who got to 66 workouts for the year following this month! -Becky C -Katie J -Cynthia T -Kasey M  Going for that Crown! Give it up to the peeps who got their prong this month! -Beth S -Terri H -Jim H -Katie J -Kasey M  This 12 Days of Fitness saw some incredible results! It is always great to see people maintain during the holidays, and even better to see improvements! We saw both during the program which was amazing. For the 12 Days, team scoring was broken down into three categories: Performance (measurements and physical testing), Effort and Enthusiasm, and Attendance.
It was a close battle, but after all was said and done, you gotta give it up to the RED team for pulling it out! Congrats to Jim H, Terri H, Cindy E and Meg M! With everyone heading back to school, and with fall officially upon us, what better way to welcome in this season than to do a Fitness Inspired College edition! We put on our university colors, started singing fight songs and alma maters, and went back to our collegiate glory! We had some fun live workouts, including two hills, some high fitness, and even some flip cup. Let's see what went down :)
After getting all the credits they needed, we had two Fitness Inspirers hop on Route 66! Congrats to Jennifer S and Meg M for zooming to that milestone! Got lots of drivers there now and still room for a few more ;) FI'ers really flexed their showing up muscle this month, which can be seen with Jim H and Terri H leading the way, each with 17 workouts for the month (which was even a little condensed)! They were followed close behind by Cindy E, Rachel P and Malorie N with 13 each! Now for a few highlights: -Malorie N lost 5 total inches and over 5 pounds! -Becky C did 4 more funky v-sits in a minute! -Meg M lost .5 inches between her hips and waist! -Jim H did 3 more show-up burpees in a minnute! Now drumroll please.... the Top Achiever for September's FItness Inspired Colelge edition was: Malorie N!!!! You know that makes us want to shout! July is definitely a month of birthdays as not only do we celebrate America's burthday, but Kiersten's and Ethan's as well. I mean come on, when the birthdays are the 3rd, 4th and 5th, there is definitely a reason to keep a celebration going!! Speaking of celebrating, July was a great month to celebrate our Fitness Inspirers who did a spectacular job of getting Fired up. Let's check out what happened!
We are definitely getting into the heat of summer and have certainly embraced the Beach theme that we had for this month! The weather has kicked it up a notch as did our workouts! We had some workouts that really pushed us from the comfort of our own houses, and live and in person in both State College and Grand Rapids :) We had some special guest instructors in SC with Chris and Nicole, and we were glad to see them in-person again! We had a lot of new faces overall so let's take a look at what happened
We were definitely MAYde for this month of Fitness Inspired! The weather is staying (and continuing to get more) warmer, the sunshine seems to be here to stay, and we are as motivated as ever to get our bodies right! We have seen our community grow, as we embrace the season we are in, and people are loving getting super sweaty from some intense classes! We have even had some special event and live-in person classes too! Let's keep it rolling 2021!
Duh Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh......Yes that is the Rocky theme in my head, and I am sure it played exactly the right way in your head too. If we are hearing some Eye of the Tiger on repeat, and racing up some flights of stairs, you know what that means! ROCKY MONTH! The days are getting longer, and our energy levels, accountability, and competitive natures have all been kicked up a notch! Rocky is always a favorite program because it puts us all into teams, which really puts our accountability into another gear as we do not want to let our teammates down. Our teams lift each other up and help push us to new levels we didn't think we could get to. This month, we were represented by the Shadow Masters, Bubble Gum Brigade, Sunshine Stars, Blue Squad, and the Lucky Charms, and we had some great workouts! Let's see what happened Adrian...
Is it spring yet? Is it spring yet? Even though our friend the groundhog told us there was going to be 6 more weeks of winter, it started to feel a little bit more like spring! With this breath of fresh air, what better theme to have than "Green Means Grow"?! March is a great month to really build on the momentum as who doesn't like the weather getting warmer? An extra level of motivation is added as we start seeing green, and of course, green means go....I mean grow, so let's do this! Route 66 Oh my goodness, we are ever so close to having our first commuters on Route 66! People have been CRUSHING 2021 with their showing up muscle and I think next month, there will be a little bit of traffic as we have some Fitness Inspirers merging on! I see a lot of new purple tanks/t-shirts in people's future :) Prong, prong, prong, easy as 1, 2,3 Ok, a little bit of a stretch with inserting prong into song lyrics, but hey they can't all be homeruns...We had some great prongy people this month, who really flexed their showing up muscles. 20 workouts in a month is no small feat so give it up to Terri and Jim H (power couple), Katie B, Leanne F, and Beth S for getting ever so closer to that crown. Green Means Grow This year has been an opportunity to move onward and upward and look for the change that we all need. We started off the year strong and we continue to ride that momentum to growing even more. It is incredible what we are able to accomplish when we are faced with a challenge, and this month was no different in that aspect.
We had some challenging homework and physical testing this month that really had our muscles (especially lower body!) screaming. We did some angel wall sitting and some legs up a wall while monitoring our form, and giving ourselves a grade on our progress and growth (yup hitting that theme) . Let's go to the scoreboard!

Hellllooooo February! While it is still quite cold outside as we finished up February, we were able to keep our bodies and minds warm as the Love More month pushed us, and kept us moving. There was a great theme this month as we all tried to Love More in all aspects of our workouts and lives, and it was great to see so many people rally around this concept! Our Love More Challenge kicked off, as we look to raise money for the Children's Heart Foundation by participating in some great workouts, spreading the love, and getting some sweet merchandise. While Love More was our theme for February, it doesn't have to stop there!! Let's see how we showed some more love this month. Route 66 Only two months in to 2021 so no drivers on Route 66 yet. However, if trends continue, we may see our first commuters traveling down this prestigious route verrrrryyyyy soon....Stay tuned to your traffic report for all the updates ;) Getting prongy with it Na na na na na na na. Any Will Smith fans out there? No? Just me and my throwback? Ok. Anyway! This month we had some great turnouts, and people used all 28 days of February to get their 20 workouts in! While some I had to convince at the results party (won't mention any names, cough Jim cough), but nonetheless, they got there! Big shout outs to Leanne F, Jim H, Terri H, Beth S and Cynthia T for getting their prongs in February! Love More
Holy buckets, is it really 2021 now?! Is 2020 finally actually over? We rang in the new year and welcomed 2021 with open arms this month, and as Fitness Inspirers, continued to look forward and find ways we can improve, and upgrade our health and fitness. While 2020 was a dumpster fire in MANY ways, what was inspiring was how we were able to adapt, commit, and help one another find routines and systems to make sure our health and fitness did not suffer. I'm proud of how we were able to come together as a community, work through a challenging year, and come away with some positives! Route 66 Even though in the beginning of 2020 we were told not to really leave our houses and drive, by the end of the year, we had TONS of Inspirers zooming down Route 66! Getting 66 workouts in the year is a great accomplishment and a great sticking point in creating a healthy lifestyle, so here's to getting even more drivers on Route 66 in 2021! Where my prongs at? Similar to Route 66, it was great to see how many royal Inspirers we had in 2020. The crown and prong milestones were new to Fitness Inspired in 2020, and it was awesome to see how many Inspirers really took to the new goal and went after it! 5 workouts a week, with 20 for the month can seem tough at first, but once you get in that workout flow and see how sticky it can be, royalty is right within your grasp ;) Inspired Action As we turn the page to 2021, it is a great opportunity to refresh, reload and embrace the change. Our theme this month was "Inspired Action", as we look to start the year on purpose and with intent! We all look to set goals for ourselves as the year begins, but what's most important is the follow up. We need to make sure we approach everything with inspired action as we look to support our "why".
Our homework truly challenged us as it called for a lot of negative sets! Those negatives really turn in to positives as they make our muscles work and get even stronger. That can be seen in our physical testing with our pushups and lunge pull ins. I'm sore just thinking about it... Let's take a look at some of the highlights!
