New Year - New Opportunities!

Well that was quite the interesting year we just had! We learned some new terminology (that I could have done without), figured out how to Zoom, reconnected with loved ones, and navigated an entire obstacle course with highs and lows.

In years past, you have no doubt seen advertising messaging touting the "New Year, New You!" mantra. In light of the year we just had, I would like to propose a different message: "New Year, New Opportunities." We may have had some of the last year's challenges thrown at us faster than a wrecking ball or we may have handled every curve ball with dexterity and sure-footedness. We may still be picking up some of the pieces from last year or reshuffling where they landed - and that is OK. I encourage you to take this time to sift through the rubbles of missed opportunities: special occasions that were downsized or cancelled, job prospects that came or went, a friendship that strengthened or struggled, self-care that flourished at home or fell by the wayside. Even if the outcome was not ideal at the time, can you look at the situation now and see what opportunities can arise from it?

In business school, they teach the SWOT matrix which stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. I think we have had enough of the weaknesses and threats to last for a while. Instead, I encourage you to look for the opportunities and reclaim your strengths. I wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year and I'll be here to help however I can.

Sincerely,

Alexis


Feeling like fall, y'all!

It's been so, so, sooo very hot here in Scottsdale this summer. I know what you're thinking - it's always hot here! - so why does it seem so different this year? I think the challenging events of this year have added to what is already a rough time of the year in our lovely Southwest state. Many people have realized the challenge that comes with "Zoom fatigue" or uncertainties surrounding work and school or even just missing your yearly summer vacation to a new destination. Everything seems to have compounded a bit more this year because it is a lot to take on at once.

My advice as we start heading into fall is to make sure you are taking time to care for yourself and let things go that no longer serve you (like 115 degree days). Take some quiet time to set intentions and goals for the last quarter of the year. There may be challenges that arise that you will need to overcome but guess what? We have already done that this year and we can handle any upcoming challenges with the new skillsets we acquired while having to adjust and pivot on the fly. Staying healthy is one of the best ways to fight stress and keep feeling like you are in charge of your life. Let us help you manage your health goals and stay well as we head into fall so that you can be your best self in the new (hopefully less challenging) year ahead.


New Year, New You.

Cliche, yes.

But the saying is so popular, right? Many of us like to use the new year as a chance to start over, get back on track, or start out on a journey you've never attempted to go on before. Many of us like to use the turn of the new year as a second chance. Or if you're anything like us, a 4th, 5th or 6th chance to finally get it right.

But this year, let's make the expression "New Year, New You" a reality.

People think getting in shape is cutting out all the foods you love, doing hard, strenuous, intense workouts until you throw up, and completely depriving yourself constantly just to lose a few pounds.

Not here. This is not the way ANYONE should go about changing their health.

Being healthy is a lifestyle, not a life sentence. Regular, consistent workouts that are tailored to your individual needs and some self-motivation is all you need. We all know how to eat right. We all know pizza tastes better than salad too...but we also know that pizza can still be enjoyed while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Moderation, consistency, and self-worth are all you need to crush your fitness goals this year.

Join us this 2019. Not only will you receive workouts that are made JUST FOR YOU and YOUR abilities, but the ability to work with multiple teachers and your choice of individual or group classes. You gain a family, and all the support you could possibly need.

So what are you waiting for? New Year, New You. Right?

Let's get started.


Halloween Tease'r-Treat!

Halloween Tease'R-Treat is here!

Hi everyone! We hope you are enjoying your October!

We wanted to let you know about our Halloween class that will be held on Wednesday, October 31 at 6:00 pm. Everyone knows how "frightening" teasers are so naturally that will be the first thing to happen during your Halloween group class...Muahahaha..... Also, this special Halloween class requires a costume but we know it's hard to work out in a full-blown Chewbacca costume. So please wear one that is fun and festive but still moveable and breathable.

After your spooky workout - you will enjoy the "treat" portion of the class which is of course, in typical Delta fashion, a delicious Halloween themed cocktail.

We are so excited to host this fun and new event and hope you can make it!

Book your spot now - they're going fast!

Happy Halloween!!


Frequencies

Happy Monday! So I’m currently reading this book called, You are a Badass by Jen Sincero and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who's planning on looking into it, but I do want to steal a little excerpt from it that has already impacted me. Sincero says, “ All energy vibrates at a certain frequency. Which means you’re vibrating at a certain frequency, and everything you desire and don’t desire, is also vibrating at a certain frequency.” She explains further by basically saying that positives and things you want vibrate at a high frequency and negatives and things you don’t want to vibrate at a low frequency. And since vibrations attract alike vibrations, if you operate at a high frequency, you will attract positive experiences and things you want. I love this so much because I’ve noticed that when I’m in an amazing mood, life just flows with that and vice versa. So remember as you continue this week and life in general, try to remain at a high frequency; you never know what you might attract.


It will all be okay!

Everything happens for a reason. Like the famous song goes, “If it is meant to be, it’ll be.” If you are going through a hard time right now, you aren’t alone. Try talking to people or exercising to get your mind off of the situation. In the end everything will be okay, if it is not okay, it is not the end. Keep your head up. YOU are YOU… strong, confident, and fearless. Always remember that.

Have an amazing weekend!
