MotivateĀ® was born out of a love for coming alongside people and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals. I found barre after son #3...and became stronger and more balanced than I had ever been in all my years in competitive sports. I fell in love and needed to share it with everyone willing to listen and partake. If you are looking for a true community of people who are kind, genuine, and like to work hard...MotivateĀ® is it.

Join us for a fun and engaging introduction to the Enneagram, a powerful tool for understanding yourself and the people around you.
Friday, May 1 at 530pm at Amesbury Studio
Cheryl Richardson, author of The Art of Extreme Self Care, will lead us through an exploration of nine personality types, including how each type behaves under stress and how they show up at their best. Youāll be surprised by what you learn about yourself, and youāll leave with practical ways to become more self-aware and clear steps you can take to grow, evolve, and show up more fully as your best self.
Space is limited. Free to reserve your space. Non-perishable food donations to Our Neighbors Table will be accepted at the door in lieu of any registration cost.
To determine your type, visit the following link for a five-minute test. Cheryl will help you to explore your results during the workshop. You can find the test here:

Over the years at Motivate.Ā®, weāve had countless conversations with people about what stops them from starting.
Some want more individual attention.
Some have just had surgery and want to move but are understandably nervous.
Some have spouses or partners who want to work out with them but are unsure if group fitness is for them.
Some want to work at measurable gains.
Some need more accountability.
And weāve listened.
Those conversations are exactly why we are building Motivate.Ā® Training.
Motivate.Ā® Training is designed for people who want more guidance, more strength-focused work, and a more personalized approach to fitness. Whether that means one-on-one coaching, small group training, or simply a place where someone walks you through every step, this is the next evolution of what we do.
Itās still the same Motivate.Ā® philosophy ā welcoming, encouraging, community-driven ā but built for people who want a little more structure, accountability, and strength.
Because sometimes the next step in your fitness journey isnāt just another class.
Sometimes itās a coach in your corner.

MotivateĀ® Mission: MotivateĀ® strives to inspire you to become stronger and healthier through thoughtful movement, nutrition and community in order to enhance the vibrancy and longevity of your life.
MotivateĀ® was born out of a love of community and of coming alongside people to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. I found barre after son #3. I found it during a time of my life when I felt overwhelmed and depleted. It gave me some much-needed ME time. A byproduct was that in the process of taking a few classes a week, I became stronger and more balanced than I had ever been in all my years in competitive sports. I fell in love and needed to share it with everyone willing to listen and partake.
After teaching in Newburyport for about 8 years, I made the entrepreneurial leap to open my own studio. I found a dear spot in downtown Newburyport which made it even sweeter. The ability to take class and then walk a few paces to grab coffee or a fresh-pressed juice...or a glass of wine :-), created the sense of local community that I desired. It also as mimicked the feel of the studio where my love of barre began. It came full circle.
Adding the cardio and cycle...and most recently, nutrition coaching to the studio only made it sweeter, sweatier, and more well rounded. You can find everything here...strength and length as well as shred and sweat. And you get it all in a smaller instructor-client ratio to ensure sound form and personal attention. Our instructors are trained and certified in barre as it was originally intended: as a dynamic, full-body, joint-safe workout that strengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body that originates in the Lotte Berk Method. MotivateĀ® Barre is set to fun and upbeat music and combines ballet barre work, core conditioning, yoga, Pilates, and orthopedic exercises. The controlled movements are very focused, effective, and safe. (No coordination is necessary.) Proper alignment and form is the primary focus. Hands-on adjustments are built into class to take each client to their personal best. Incorporated into each session are active stretches to develop more toned, sculpted, lengthened, and supple muscles. The entire body and mind are constantly working throughout each session. Every position is cued to properly achieve and maintain core engagement. Through this process, your body, posture, and physical awareness will be transformed. No area of the body is left undiscovered in a barre class.
MotivateĀ® is a true community player. We learn, serve and socialize together through MotivateĀ® Book Groups, Serve and Socials. We currently serve at Our Neighborās Table quarterly together. We are also a sponsor of the Newburyport Education Foundation. Barre Local and Serve Local.
If you are looking for a true community of people who are kind, genuine, and like to work hard...MotivateĀ® is it.
