I am super excited to share this with you, because it’s something I hear women all over the world ask - the age-old fitness question… Can I lose fat and build muscle, at the same time? Well, contrary to what you might read about in the glossy magazines or the guarantees from boot camps, cleanses [...]
The last few weeks of winter can sometimes feel like they will never end, right? And when it’s still cold out, we, often, want to stay home, make some yummy hot chocolate with our kids and catch up on a favorite TV show or two. And, sometimes, this can make it hard to make it [...]
When I was overweight and had just started back at my gym I can truly say I wasn’t feeling too great about myself - my fitness was near nothing and so was my body image. Regardless I was going a few times a week to either do weights or some cardio as I’d made that [...]

Two things that make me incredibly happy are being in front of a room as a fitness instructor and taking people through an incredible workout experience (ie. Soul HIIT), and the other is being in a class as a participant and getting to totally immerse myself in an amazing fitness experience. Every month I'm going to be sharing [...]
If you know me, you know I love to run BUT I didn’t always feel that way. Even now if I take a few weeks off here and there I always find those first few runs kinda awkward. My body feels clumsy and I can feel a little sore after but I also knows those [...]
Even though I’d spend my 20’s working out in a gym, heading back into one after a substantial amount of time “off” made me feel nervous. I can totally remember walking around looking at all the different equipment and feeling intimidated and very unsure about what to do. I was convinced that everyone was watching [...]
I am all about running outside. I love it. For me being in nature is the best form of therapy out there. I like the sun on my face, the wind on my back, the change in terrain and taking the scenery in. BUT there are times (icy roads, frigid temparatures, torrential downpours when I [...]
