Let's hear it for our next Lioness of February... Jenna!🥳

Jenna joined Lioness two years ago when another longtime member convinced her to give it a try and now she is closing in on 250 classes! Jenna is typically part of our early bird crew, keeping the J-name streak alive and well. She understands the importance of incorporating strength training into her true love, long distance training, and stays committed to using the tools we offer at the gym to make her running, swimming and biking a little easier and safer. She brings great energy to every workout and isn't afraid to dish out some sass, even before the sun is up.

Keep crushing it, Jenna!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
I am a working mom with three young kids. I love doing triathlon and lifting keeps me feeling healthy and strong.

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
One of my great friends (shoutout Christine Stocke) would always talk about how much she loved it. I finally worked up the courage to go to a first class and try it out. I keep coming back because I feel better and stronger.

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
From Kelley: Jenna missed answering this one, but I know she would want you all to know that the ab roller is her favorite move. Well, that or Bulgarian split squats.😆

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
I was excited to conquer the taller box jump!

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
I would like to finish the Lake Monona 20k at my race pace for the full run.

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
Do it and stick with it! Also 5:30 am gals are badass.

Let's hear it for our first Lioness of February... Liz!🥳

Technically we were supposed to highlight this fabulous Lioness last month, but life happened and here we are!

It's hard to believe that Liz is getting ready to celebrate 2 years since her first Lioness class! From the day she entered the gym she has been eager to learn how to move her body safely, asking great questions and challenging her body to lift a little heavier each day. She brings a great attitude to the gym and is always ready to celebrate her classmates. She's got big goals for the coming year and I have no doubt she will knock them out of the park!

Keep crushing it, Liz!💪

Here's her story...

💜Tell us a little about yourself outside of the gym:
Outside of the gym, I love to spend time at home on Madison’s southwest side with my husband and our two cats. I enjoy knitting, playing guitar and piano, and watching movies. I just recently picked back up knitting after 5 years away and my first big project is a sweater!

💜What brought you to Lioness and what keeps you here?
I found myself restless and sore from long days at a desk job and knew I needed to make a lifestyle change. The women in my family also deal with osteoporosis and I know that weightlifting is important to prevent that and also to alleviate stress.

💜What is your favorite muscle group to work?
Glutes 🍑

💜What are you most proud of accomplishing with Lioness?
Increasing my weight on deadlifts, bench press, and squats! Something unexpected is how much stress relief I get from coming regularly.

💜What is the fitness/wellness goal you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months?
I would like to focus on consistency and routine and would love to get to 2 strength sessions and 1 sweat session each week.

💜What advice do you have for our newer members or those thinking about jumping in?
Ask the questions, there are so many smart and helpful people around you willing to help.

Scenes from the week at Lioness!💪💜

Happy Friday, Lionesses!💜

New year, same plan… pick up heavy metal objects and then put them back down again.

The magic to strength training is consistent, progressive overload. That’s it! Add in walking and mobility to keep the body moving freely and you’re good to go!

I’m personally kicking off this year with a plan to move everyday. Sometimes it’s lifting, sometimes walking or biking and sometimes it’s stretching and mobilizing, but I’m putting in the work everyday.

I know my focus and energy levels are so much greater when I take time to get out of my to-do lists and brain spirals and just move.

They aren’t marathon sessions, but they are consistent.

Struggling for that consistency? Find a buddy and hold each other accountable. Need a buddy? Come to the gym! We’ve got a whole crew of Lionesses excited to meet you and help support your efforts!

Our 2-week free trial for brand new members is available through next Thursday so make sure and grab it while you can!

Have a grrreat weekend!🦁

Happy new year, Lionesses!💜

The kids are back at school (for the most part), the holiday decorations have been put away (for the most part) and our regular routines are in full swing (for the most part).

I know the pressure is high this time of year! Every ad/post/newsletter is telling you to “get your life together!” Apparently, we’ve all been doing it wrong.

Good news! It’s all bu****it.

Is the turning of the calendar a good time to evaluate and reset your routines or schedules? Sure! Do you have goals or resolutions? Great! I’m certainly not discouraging you from taking those actions.

Just remember that any of these routines or actions you want to change need to be done is small steps. This is not an overhaul of the whole system.

Want to read more? Start with 10 min a day.
Need more sleep? Push back bedtime by 10 min.
Too busy? Pick one thing to hand off or eliminate.

And now the biggest one this time of year… Do you want to start or solidify an exercise routine?🫣 This one can feel really overwhelming.

So keep it small! Try walking 10 min a day, take the stairs instead of the escalator, park further away from the building or have a dance party once a day!

If you need more external motivation and think a gym might be a better fit, shop around and find a place that suits your style of exercise with a group of people or environment where you feel safe and supported.

And don’t overcommit on day 1. You aren’t going to go from 0-100 and actually stick with it. Keep it small and attainable, then increase if and when you are ready!

If you’ve been curious about what Lioness has to offer and if we might be a good fit, we’ve got you covered! Brand new to Lionesses can grab our 2-week free pass and come explore! Meet the coaches, get to know our community and start to build strength even in a short amount of time.

Questions? Reach out to us and let us know how we can help!

Remember, you’ve got this but you don’t need to do it overnight.

Have a grrreat day!🦁
