Back to our ROOTS
This pandemic has forced many of us to dial back, dial in, and reinvent a new “normal.”
It has us questioning what normal is.
It has us questioning what is important, what matters most, and who matters to us.
It has us questioning HOW we DO.
HOW do we ENGAGE with those things and people that matter in a way that brings us a state of peace?
HOW do we create a state of normal that allows us to EXHALE what we’ve been holding onto, and what is waiting?
We have been WAITING to return to normal.
NOW is the time to embrace that there is NO such thing.
So now what?
For me, I’ve returned to grass roots.
When I left my job, I left my normal and went out on my own. I created Inspired Fitness with ONE OUTDOOR Bootcamp and personal training — both in-home and outdoor.
That one Bootcamp class grew to three classes, and then grew to five classes.
When I reached five classes, I hired my first employee, which allowed me to offer more types of classes outdoors.
Eventually, Inspired Fitness went from outside to inside with our first location in Petaluma.
In the five years before we opened doors in Sebastopol, we were teaching OUTSIDE at Ives Park, then the community center, and then we opened our second location in the Barlow.
When we outgrew the Barlow, we built our current location with over 40 classes, personal training and almost 30 employees.
Today, we find ourselves back to our ROOTS.
Today, we are back OUTSIDE.
It feels good to know that THIS is where we grew from.
THIS is where we planted seeds that grew into what our amazing community IS today. THIS is where we will continue to grow, thrive, connect, and build from.
This pandemic has forced our community to change many things. It’s forced us to change the way we live, the way we work, the way we connect and how we get things done.
This pandemic has forced us to go back outside.
This pandemic has forced us to find other ways of connecting with you, to find other platforms that allow us to bring INSPIRED to YOU.
It can’t take our roots.
It can’t take “WHY” we get out of bed every morning.
It can’t take YOU.
So I ask you....what are YOUR roots?
Where do you find strength?
Where do you grow?
How do you connect?
When will you stop waiting and DO?
INSPIRED has returned to its roots, and we’re waiting — ready and excited to help YOU do the same.
