“Exercise, through strength training and conditioning, will help you create a body you love. Nutrition, through clean eating, will help you burn off the fat to show off the body you love, created through exercise.” Coach Seay
It seems like we always have half of the equation figured out. Some of us have mastered exercising but still don’t feel happy with our weight, while some of us have mastered nutrition, yet feel frustrated by their body. Continue reading →
“YOU GOT THIS” is probably our most common catch phrase at Inner Fit and the reason why is simple – we believe you do “got this.”
Humans are capable of incredible feats and your coaches know that while the workout may be challenging, you are more than capable of rocking it (regardless of your fitness level).
Next time you doubt yourself, simple remember these three words, “I Got This” and watch your world change.
What is it with motivation?
We read self help books, watch youtube videos, read success stories in magazines all to feel inspired and motivated at the gym, but have you ever notice that motivation fades quickly?
The mistake people make is they think motivation comes first. Do you want in on a little secret? Motivation comes second to what successful people know all too well – taking action.
Weird huh? How does motivation come second to action? Here is what happens when our brains and bodies take action. First, you get to the gym (often kicking your heels) and you begin your workout. Within about 20 minutes your brain starts to activate more. All of a sudden you start to feel a little better. This is because the blood is rushing to your muscles to provide energy. As you continue your workout, your brain seems to be on fire. Have you ever noticed how problems seem solvable after a workout or you are less mad at something after you worked out? Imagine, 40 more minutes of your brain being activated. Continue reading →
We all start weight loss programs with the best of intentions. We hope for health and happiness for ourselves and a little “me” time to boot.
When we start a weight loss program, whether it’s weight watchers, a new gym, or a running goal, it usually begins by hitting some form of “rock bottom.” Continue reading →
November is one of those months where life starts to get busy as the holiday season approaches. And what happens when people get “busy”? Their fitness is the first to get thrown to the side because they believe they can pick up where they left off. Continue reading →
They key to your success is the celebration of mini goals. Little goals along the way keep you proud of your self and help you feel like they are achievable.
Start with setting one small goal this week such as lose 3 lbs, attend 3 classes, weigh in each day for 7 days, or meal prep for 7 days. Continue reading →

One day you wake up and there you are, unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. You ask yourself, “how did I get here?”, “how did I let it get this bad?”, and you find yourself filled with anger, frustration, and sadness. No one deserves to feel like that.
The first thing to know is – you are not alone. We all live having the best intentions to help others, be a good parent, be a good employee, volunteer, be a good spouse; but at the end of the day, there is little left for yourself. Life is just so busy today!
So how do you find a balance in life and take care of you in the process? It starts with deciding to take action and find a way to incorporate everything that’s important to you but to also learn to let go of what isn’t serving you. You can’t make time for something new if your stressed with everything you feel you have to do.
Let’s start by taking out a pen and paper or open up your notes app in your phone and ask yourself a few questions:
The reason you start here is so you can map out how to let go and make space for the important things in your own life.
We all know exercise is good for us, but seriously, what’s the point if you can’t lose weight right? Wrong.
Exercise is not about the workouts, exercise is you taking care of you. It is a couple hours a week that will not only help you feel good post workout, but also help you feel better all day and into the next day.
Exercise has this magical effect on the human body, and those who exercise regularly can back up that statement. It is especially profound for those who are struggling to get through life when the kids are young or work is stressful or life is throwing you challenging, that is when you need it the most.
Exercise literally lights up the brain. You make better decisions and are in a more rational place after you workout. Imagine if you went through life in a decreased stress state and instead in a happy state? Your life would look a lot different.
But I am afraid to start? Who isn’t afraid to try something new? Who isn’t nervous about being vulnerable? We all hard, it’s part of being human. What I can tell you about Inner Fit is that it is one of the most awesome places to start your fitness journey and use it as time for you.
It’s not about the workout, it’s about a few hours a week for you. A long term client Mel always says she gets excited to get into the car and come to class because it’s her time and while she loves her family, it’s time she gets for herself 3-4 hours a week. Mel has lost 60lbs and kept it off for over 5 years.
The Results will come! When you make the time for yourself a few hours a week with something that is productive such as a fitness, there is a greater payoff and that is slowly seeing a body you are loving that is healthier and happier. The thing to remember is it doesn’t happen over night or in a month, it takes 6-12 months to see substantial changes but as we have seen at Inner Fit, the slower you lose it, the easier it is to keep it off.
Where do you go from here? Come visit us. We want to help you. Inner Fit is a friendly facility where our members love to meet new members. Start with 2 hours a week. It’s really that simple.

Oh the Ah-Ha Moments in Vegas!
They say change happens in a moment. We can struggle for a long time and then you hear, see, or experience something that changes everything. This was my recent experience in Las Vegas at the 2017 Idea Fit Conference.
I headed to Vegas filled with confusion, frustration, nearing burnout, and a sense of needing to step away from my business and came home with clarity and a feeling of excitement to be back in the studio.
Over five days I attended a variety of workshops and courses from marketing to spinning to step classes. I decided to have a well balanced approach because I wanted to bring new ideas to the classes but also learn how to grow my business. Continue reading →
Hot and Sunny Las Vegas (like a hot blow dryer to the face) is where our dynamic team of fun loving coaches headed to this past week (July 18-23) to learn from the best of the best in the world at the Idea Fit 2017 World Convention.
As the owner of Inner Fit, I believe all coaches must continue to add new tools to their teaching tool boxes to stay current and inspired to lead classes.
As coaches, it’s not easy to keep up with industry at the pace it is changing so sometimes the best thing to do is to step away from the studio do something fun with the team to bring back fresh ideas and take some well deserved time off.
I am also so incredibly grateful to have a team of coaches who all year long give back to the members and the studio. Continue reading →
