We have some important news about our scheduling system! As you may know, Schedulicity has been acquired by Vagaro, and we're now fully transitioning to their platform for all our bookings.

What This Means for Your Next Appointment

Good news! You can use the same email address you used with Schedulicity to log in to our new Vagaro page. However, you'll need to create a new password the first time you log in. It's a quick and easy process, and once it's done, you'll have access to our full schedule and services.

This change is effective immediately, so please use our new Vagaro link for all future bookings.

Need a Hand? We're Here for You!

We understand that switching to a new system can sometimes bring up questions, and we want to make this as smooth as possible for you. If you run into any problems logging in, finding your way around, or booking your next appointment, please don't hesitate to call Patty if you have any problems.

We're really looking forward to this new chapter with Vagaro and believe you'll love the improved booking experience. Thanks for your continued support!

We know summer brings longer days, vacations, and a desire to soak up every moment – and rightfully so! But let's also remember the incredible progress you've made and how vital consistency is for reaching your fitness goals.

It's easy for routines to slide during the warmer months, but sticking to a regular workout schedule, even with some adjustments, offers amazing benefits:

Maintain Your Momentum: Don't let your hard work go to waste!

Consistent effort keeps your strength, endurance, and progress on track.

Boost Your Energy: Regular exercise actually gives you more energy to enjoy all those summer activities, from beach days to hiking trails.

Stress Relief: Summer can be busy! Your workouts are a fantastic way to de-stress and clear your head.

Better Sleep: Consistent activity helps regulate your sleep patterns, ensuring you're well-rested for all your summer adventures.

Stay Accountable: Having a set schedule, even a flexible one, helps you prioritize your health and fitness.

Feel Good, Look Good: Keep that feel-good factor going all summer long! Consistency helps you maintain your physique and confidence.

Let's make this your strongest, healthiest summer yet! What are your strategies for staying consistent?

Ever wonder why I, as an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, talk so much about weight-bearing exercise for women over 50?

Here's the simple science: After menopause, the decline in estrogen accelerates bone density loss. But our bodies are smart! When we put impact through our bones – through activities where we bear our own weight – it stimulates specialized cells to build new bone tissue.

My recommendation: Integrate regular weight-bearing activities into your routine. This means going beyond swimming or cycling (which are great for cardio, but not bone density).

Some examples:

Brisk Walking: A fantastic starting point.

Dancing: Fun and effective!

Hiking: Combines impact with outdoor enjoyment.

Stair Climbing: Excellent for loading the hips and spine.

Light Jumping/Hopping: If appropriate for your current bone density and joint health, start with very small hops and progress slowly.

These activities are your proactive defense against osteoporosis and help ensure you stay strong and active for life!

Ladies, listen up! 💪 If you're over 50, strength training isn't just "good for you" – it's absolutely ESSENTIAL for your health, vitality, and independence.

As an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Health Coach, I can't stress this enough: your body changes after menopause, and that means your fitness strategy needs to adapt too. My top recommendation for post-50 women?

Aim for 2-3 full-body strength training sessions per week!

Why?
✨ Combat Muscle Loss: Helps fight sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) that accelerates after menopause.
✨ Boost Bone Density: Essential for preventing osteoporosis and keeping your bones strong.
✨ Improve Metabolism: More muscle means a more efficient metabolism.
✨ Enhance Function & Prevent Falls: Stay strong, move freely, and reduce your risk of falls.

This isn't about becoming a bodybuilder, it's about building a resilient, capable body for life. Start light, focus on form, and gradually challenge yourself. Your future self will thank you!

Dearest friends, I wanted to take a moment to express sincere gratitude for your incredible generosity during our fundraiser for Cheryl Okie's children. I was so touched by the outpouring of support and managed to raise $475! I wanted to clarify that the GoFundMe donation of this amount was made on behalf of Empowerfitnessllc, however, with autofill, it appears as my individual donation. However, please know this was a collective effort from our entire studio community. You can also see this noted on my personal Venmo. I also have reached out directly to the Gofundme organizer to try and update on the main donation page! Empowerfitness has the most incredible ladies! Thank you.
