Something happened recently that I just have to share.

It might be one of the most exhilarating moments I’ve had since getting my new knees in December 2023.

While visiting with my son from Dallas, we went to Pt. Woronzof. And for the first time ever—I walked down the hill to the water… and back up again!

I had never attempted that descent or climb before. Not once. But this trip I did it. The weather was beautiful, the planes were flying right overhead, and I felt alive and strong and free.

It’s hard to put into words how much that moment meant to me. But here’s what I know:
I wouldn’t have had the stamina, balance, or confidence to do it without my regular workouts.

And I wouldn’t have had the courage to try without the support of my 8:00 AM Functional Fitness Group.

This isn’t just something I talk about—I lived it yesterday.
And my son? He turned to me and said, “Mom, there’s no way you could’ve done that two years ago.”
And he’s right. I was two years younger, but I wasn’t in shape to do something like that.

But now I am.

That’s the power of showing up. That’s the gift of consistency. That’s the magic of community.

Thank you to my 8:00 AM group gals—you inspire me every single day.
And to everyone else reading this: keep showing up. Keep taking care of yourself. You never know when life is going to invite you into a moment like this—and you want to be ready.

With a full heart,

Bonnie

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 — 𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲

By BFit & Well Annex

When it comes to staying strong, mobile, and independent, not all workouts are created equal.

At BFit & Well Annex, we focus on functional fitness — exercises that mimic real-life movements like standing up from a chair, reaching for something overhead, or carrying groceries. These aren’t just workouts. They’re life practice.

So what’s the difference between functional fitness and machine workouts?
💡 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀. 𝗪𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
Most big-box gyms use machines that isolate one muscle group at a time. You sit. You push or pull. You’re supported by the equipment — not your body.

At BFit & Well Annex, we train the body as a whole. Our programs challenge your balance, coordination, posture, core strength, and flexibility — all at once. That’s how real life works, and it’s how we train.

💡 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱. 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁.
Machines move in a straight line. Life doesn’t. Whether you’re unloading the dishwasher or catching your balance on icy sidewalks, you need strength in multiple directions. That’s why we use functional tools like TRX straps, bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, boxing drills, and brain-fitness games to keep your mind and body sharp.

💡 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗪𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Our goal is to keep you on your feet, strong, and confident — not sitting passively on a machine. Our programs prepare you for stairs, curbs, yard work, travel, dancing, and everything in between.

✅ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?
- Fewer falls
- Better mobility
- Improved energy
- Greater confidence
- A better quality of life
Real Strength for Real Life — That’s what we do.

Join a fitness program that keeps you strong where it counts most — in your everyday life.

🏋️‍♂️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀?

We’ve all been there—starting strong with enthusiasm, but before you know it, your fitness routine starts slipping. Sound familiar?

The secret to lasting success is simple: coaching. Here’s why:
✅ Accountability: A coach holds you responsible, helping you stay committed and focused.
✅ Consistency: With scheduled sessions and structured plans, routine becomes second nature.
✅ Personalization: Customized workouts and guidance ensure your routine aligns perfectly with your goals and lifestyle.
✅ Motivation: Encouragement and support from your coach keep you driven, even on tough days.

Stop the cycle of starting and stopping. With the right coach, routine becomes easy, enjoyable, and sustainable.

Boost Brain Health and Age Actively: Why Summer in Alaska is the Perfect Time to Start

As Alaskans, we cherish our long summer days—bright skies, fresh air, and a strong pull to get outside and move.

But did you know that this season is not only ideal for physical fitness, but also for boosting your brain health and creating lasting routines that support active aging?

The Brain-Body Connection in Aging

As we age, our brain health becomes just as important as our physical strength.

Studies have shown that regular movement, social interaction, and cognitive engagement can slow cognitive decline, improve memory, and elevate mood.

Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, promotes the growth of new neural connections, and reduces the risk of age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Simply put: the healthier your body, the healthier your brain.

Why Summer in Alaska Sets You Up for Success

Alaska’s summer isn’t just beautiful—it’s therapeutic.

Here’s why it’s the perfect time to build a brain-boosting fitness habit:

Extended daylight hours make it easier to stay consistent with routines.

Cooler temperatures encourage outdoor activity without the risk of overheating.

Natural scenery reduces stress, which is a known factor in cognitive decline.

Community engagement peaks in the summer, providing vital social interaction that helps keep the brain sharp.

Summer also acts as a launchpad—you can build habits now that carry into the darker winter months when motivation tends to dip.

The Active Aging Advantage

Active aging isn’t about intense workouts or chasing youth—it’s about staying independent, mobile, and mentally clear through every decade of life.

A brain-and-body-focused wellness routine helps with:

Improved balance and coordination

Reduced anxiety and depression

Sharper mental clarity and decision-making

Greater enjoyment in day-to-day living

At our studio, we blend movement with mindfulness, strength training with stimulation, and social engagement with purpose. It's a safe, supportive space tailored for those 50+ who want to feel energized, capable, and connected.

Let’s Make This Your Strongest Summer Yet

Whether you’re walking trails, joining a small group session, or starting a personalized brain health routine, summer is your season to thrive.

Let’s use this time to set up a rhythm that works for your body, fuels your brain, and helps you feel your best all year long.

Ready to start?

Retirement Isn’t the End — It’s a New Beginning for Your Body

A lot of our clients retire and finally get the free time they’ve been waiting for…

But then reality sets in:

“I finally have time — but I don’t have the strength or energy to enjoy it.”

That’s when fitness goes from “nice to have” to non-negotiable.

The good news?

When someone’s been deconditioned for a while, progress happens FAST.

They start building strength, moving better, and getting their energy back — and that momentum is everything.

Just recently, a widowed client came to BFit & Well feeling deeply depressed and physically weak.

Within just two weeks, she was smiling again, standing taller, and showing up with a whole new spark.

It was like watching someone come back to life — just from moving her body and feeling supported.

So if you’ve just retired — or know someone who has — and you’re wondering where to begin...

👉 Start with one small step.

We’ll guide the rest.

Your next chapter can be your strongest one yet. 💪

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Sure, looking good is a nice bonus.
But if you’re a high-achiever, you should care more about:
🔹 Making decisions with a clear mind
🔹 Having the energy to lead at work and at home
🔹 Staying out of the doctor’s office
🔹 Aging with strength, confidence, and independence

Physical activity isn’t about punishment or perfection.
It’s a strategy for long-term performance — in the boardroom, in your relationships, and in life.

💡 Movement is medicine.
Consistency is the prescription.

Not sure where to start? A fitness professional can help you build a plan that supports both your 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 and your 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻.

Because the strongest version of you isn’t just built — it’s 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥.
