💃 Bachelorette parties with a sweat + sparkle twist
🎂 Milestone birthdays & anniversaries worth remembering
👯 Girls Night Out that’s fun, healthy, and full of energy
🤝 Networking or team events with a lively spin

we know that these days there are many people seeking ways to celebrate AND network at “alcohol free” events.
For the sober curious, or those looking to enjoy wine at a nearby restaurant after, we are ready to plan your next event!

Here we are—September. That in-between space where summer still lingers but routines start to return.

Thought for the Week: What do you want to make of this time?

Not what you “should” do, or what the calendar says, but what would feel really good to you. Maybe it’s recommitting to class. Maybe it’s adding a walk to your lunch break. Maybe it’s getting out in the woods or along the Charles (for those of us lucky locals, it’s right there!)

For me, I’ve been back to reading again. I was in a bit of a drought this summer—funny, since that’s when most people have their nose in a book at the beach—but my head just wasn’t in it. And that’s okay. Now I’m finding my rhythm again and remembering how good it feels.

And speaking of rhythm, Franny and I are still out walking at 5am—even though it’s much darker now. It’s not always easy, but it sets the tone for the day and for right now, I’m quite grateful for it.

So, I’ll ask you: what are you easing back into this fall?

Cheers,
Jan

Happy Labor Day, Get Lively crew! 🎉

Today’s the perfect chance to celebrate all your hard work by moving your body and soaking up the day. Maybe it’s a walk with a friend, a splash in the water, or a quick online class to get your energy flowing.

We’ll be closed today to give our fantastic trainers the day off, but we hope you still find a way to move, smile, and sweat a little — that’s the Get Lively way! 💪✨

You’re Invited: How Small Businesses Are Lifting Each Other Up 👏

I’m so excited to finally share this…

On Friday, September 19, I’ll be hosting a very special event at the studio:
Watertown’s Open: Live Podcast Event

This is the first-ever Watertown’s Open event, and I’m honored to welcome a panel of local small business owners I’ve worked with—people who’ve taught, launched, and grown right inside our studio space.

We’ll talk about:
🤝 How collaboration fuels business and community
🎨 Creative ways we’ve cross-promoted and shared audiences
⚡️How spaces like ours can spark so much more than workouts

Plus, we’ll be joined by Erin Rathe from the City of Watertown and Doug Or***ce, President of the Watertown Business Coalition to share their perspective and advice.

✨ It’s FREE for members, refreshments will be served, and space is limited—so reserve your spot now: getlivelynow.com/wbc

I really hope you’ll join us. Whether you’re a business owner, a supporter, or just curious about how our community supports one another—it’s going to be an inspiring afternoon.

Cheers,

Fall is just around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to claim your space and lock in your routine 🍂💪

Start thinking about which classes you want to take and get them on your calendar now. When you protect that time for yourself, you make sure your health and energy stay a priority.

Because if you don’t claim your time, someone or something else will. Let’s make this fall lively, strong, and all about you!

Happy Senior Citizens Day! 🎉 At Get Lively, we like to think of it as Senior Livelies Day because our amazing crew doesn’t just show up, they inspire us daily. 💪✨

These incredible members prove that staying active has no age limit. They hold two minute planks like total champs and keep the energy high in every class. 👏🔥

Here’s to our Senior Livelies. Thank you for leading the way and showing us what strong, vibrant living looks like.

Quick story. (Note how short and sweet these emails have been over the summer? The format is working for me and I hope it is for you too!)

When I first started Get Lively, I was coaching out of my house. Just me, my basement, and a few brave souls willing to plank alongside the laundry machine.

Fast forward a few years, and our studio has become more than a place to get fit—it’s become a launchpad.

A place where other businesses have started.

Where people have come together to try new things, collaborate, and lift each other up (sometimes literally).

And that? That’s what I’m most proud of.

More soon on a really special event we’re hosting in September to celebrate just that… but for now, here’s your gentle reminder that small beginnings can grow into something really powerful.

Keep showing up. Keep sharing. And know that every time you do, you’re building something.

Cheers,
- Jan

It’s been a summer full of extra joy at Get Lively! 💛

We’ve welcomed not one, but TWO new little bundles to the crew! Olivia and her family brought home sweet baby Madison, and Matthew’s family has welcomed beautiful baby William! 🍼✨

We couldn’t be happier for these growing families — and we know our lively community can’t wait to shower these little ones with love. 💕

Join us in sending all the congratulations, love, and good vibes to Olivia, Matthew, and their families!

If you’ve ever taken a class with us, you’ve probably heard me talk about momentum.

And how it doesn’t usually come from a big dramatic leap—it comes from saying yes to something small. A class. A walk. A conversation.

When I first opened the studio, I had no idea that saying yes to a few collaborations would lead to this incredible web of connections, new businesses, and creative partnerships that have bloomed right inside our walls.

So here’s your nudge:
What’s something small you can say yes to this week?

Yes to a workout.
Yes to taking up space.
Yes to sharing an idea or helping someone else grow theirs.

That’s where the good stuff starts.
