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...

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 king for vari

Laugh to Fitness

I like laughing and making people laugh . There have been times that I allowed myself to be the butt of a joke just to see people smile. Some people think laughing a lot is a sign of immaturity or a nervous habit. I would like for all of your nay-sayers to calm down. Laughter benefits your health. No really!! Research shows that laughter is a great distraction from bad habits ( overeating, smoking, depression) and stress reliever. **Body Goals Alert** Laughter tones your abs! Yes a great laugh can initiate your stomach muscles which is the same muscle group used when exercising the abdominal wall. A great laugh session is similar to cardio work accomplished through a slow walk. Are you turning on some stand-up comedy or funny memes yet?? Ah my favorite subject- endorphines. That's right my friends, endorphines are released when you are laughing, which are natural pain relievers AND make you feel overall happiness. Cue Stephanie Mills song " I Feel Good." Even
