I can’t believe how fast 2025 has been! We’re already at the end of September. As this month draws to a close, I want to reflect on the past couple of months.
Summer was great! It was good mix of work and play. In July, my boyfriend, our dog, and I had a staycation which was really nice. He and I also went to Anime Expo for the first time, and even though it was overwhelming, we had so much fun! In August, I flew out to NYC to witness and celebrate my sister and her pinning ceremony! I’m blessed and happy that my business allows me to help others and also the flexibility of traveling.
This month, my business was back in full swing! I also hosted my first ever group fitness class through my Meet Up group, and it was a blast! I was so nervous starting it. I usually do 1 on 1 sessions or train pairs so it was definitely something outside of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I did it! I’ve been wanting to get my clients together and meet new people so why not do both with a Meet Up event? I plan on doing them monthly so I’m excited for who I’ll meet and teach!
Lastly, on my own personal update, I am training to re-certify for Strongfirst Kettlebell Level 1 and 2. My certification expires January 2026, and I intend to be more proactive renewing my certification this time. I retook it in January 2024 because I accidentally let it expire – oops! I’ve been training mostly kettlebells with my friend Taylor since he’s also re-certifying.
As hard as the workouts are, I’ve been enjoying them and feel really strong. I’ve also tightened up my nutrition game, and my friend Dana has been helping me with my nutrition. I gained weight over the past 2 years, and for SFG Level 2 I need to be a certain weight. I only need to lose a few pounds, but I’ve made good progress and will make weight for sure. I have also been wanting to be leaner so nutrition coaching has helped a lot. Overall the past few months have been going well, and I’m excited to continue building my business as well as recertifying SFG Level 2!
