Marquee Monday: Grit Fitness

-


It's MARQUEE MONDAY and we are highlighting a gym called Grit Fitness in Dallas, Texas!

I traveled to Dallas and wanted to workout on the 4th. Yes- I love working out that much that I want to get it in on a holiday. I did a Pure Barre intensive on Thanksgiving too, lol. I digressed. Anyway, most places were closed on the 4th but I was happy to see Grit Fitness was open and ready to challenge by body.

Grit Fitness has three Dallas locations and boast a motto of " No Grit, No Pearl' which greets you in neon lights as you enter the studio. Their schedule is packed with various workouts providing options for all fitness levels.  I took the Power Belle class which was a quick journey through weight, resistance and cardio training. I enjoyed the progression of the class and of course the music was popping.



Now let's get into the rundown in the F.A.S.T. rating system ( F- Fun/ A- Accessibility/ S- Skill/ T- Time):

Fun- Dipped in hot pink everything and fun, positive mottos; This studio is set up as your own selfie haven.  The music is current and is a necessity when doing a fast pace workout. Grit definitely gets the fun factor.

Accessibility- As I mentioned before Grit has three locations which makes it accessible to Dallas residents throughout the area. The location I went to had free parking which is a plus. I paid $20 for unlimited classes for 10 days- which is a new client offer. I did see class packages and a summer special for those who want to turn up their workouts for a few months.

Skill- The great thing about having different workout classes on a schedule is that you can offer clients options. Grit Fitness has not only fitness classes but a few Hip Hop dance classes that is a great introduction to cardio for newbies. I also noticed in the class I took, the instructor gave modifications for beginners, which is helpful.

Time- The Power Belle class was for 45 min, which is awesome! I didn't see any classes over 60 min on the schedule. You know I love effective, short workouts.

I love the empowering atmosphere at Grit Fitness and would love to return someday. If your in the Dallas area, check them out for some fitness and fun!

See you on the Marquee...

June is a time for traveling, relaxing, taking breaks and preparing for new adventures. It is also the half year mark and I'm wondering how many people are still sticking with their goals for 2019. My Vision Board! Vision boards and vision casting are very popular these days. Like many others, I created one in December with pictures and phrases I wanted to fill my 2019. Well... I like to think I am making baby steps towards my goals. Hey- this blog is one of those baby steps to my "fitness guru" phrase on my board. Go Me!! According to a Forbes Magazine article 85% of small business owners that used vision boards report they have accomplished more than half of their goals.  The article also noted that an important factor to this success is visualizing your goal in detail and technicolor. STOP!! Take a 2 minute break from this post and schedule a time to visualize your most desired goal today........ Go ahead- put it on your phone calendar and set an alarm for it...

Costa Rica Chica Part 2

Costa Rica Chica Part 2 **Edit** I initially wrote this blog post about a week and a half ago. Little did I know it was the beginning stages of the corona virus for my mom and a less severe version for me. We are both doing better now. It has been a very scary two weeks because the symptoms are serious. From experience- please adhere to instructions from health care professionals: Stay INSIDE as much as possible, exercise and eat healthy! If you are not building your immune system- do so. *** This first week being quarantined has not been the best. I am now working from home and taking care of my mother who was ill this week. On top of that I have had sinus issues and a consistent cough. Because of this I have literally been inside the whole week to stay away from others in precaution. Today I do feel a lot better and had enough strength and time to update my blog. It's my form of self care.  Four weeks ago as I frolicked throughout Costa Rica I never knew ...

Fit Friend Friday: GET FIT WITH COREY

It’s FIT FRIEND FRI-YAY!  Today I am highlighting a Nola native, Corey Elbert AKA Get Fit With Corey. Elbert, a personal trainer and group fitness leader, found interest in the health industry while competing in pageantry. Little did I know that Corey is not only a champ in the fitness arena but a real life superhero serving as full time police officer! I had the pleasure of attending one of Corey’s high-energy step classes before the quarantine. It was not only fun, had popping music and fly movements but Corey is so engaging. He has jokes, personality and will “drop it low” with you side by side if you need the encouragement.  He is most definitely one of my #FITFRIENDGOALS. Read more about Corey below: Explain how you got your start in fitness. CE: I started the love for fitness, first, as being a member of a gym and doing classes as a student. In 2015 I participated in male pageantry where I competed against other guys for titles to be...
