Am I doing this right? Do I look like an idiot? Is everyone looking at me? Am I going to be able to do this?

You are not alone in those thoughts. Any time you try anything new, it’s reasonable to have those feelings. Just knowing that you aren’t alone in having them can be helpful. We’ve also have some more reasons why restarting your workout routine doesn’t have to be scary. Keep reading to find out!

Whenever someone finds out what I do, then inevitably they ask how we came up with the concept.

Mary Cate and I created Remix in order to fill a gap.

We loved the boutique style of fitness. We loved that smaller studios offered accountability, support and made you feel welcomed and comfortable walking in. We’ve been to big box gyms in the past and they always felt cold and overwhelming.

Yet, we loved that big box gyms offered variety. So many of the boutique studios offered one type of workout whether it was spin, barre, bootcamp or something else. We wanted to combine the best of both worlds.

That’s how Remix was born.

We pride ourselves on having such an extensive schedule. We know how hard it can be to find the time to workout and to get motivated to workout, so we want to make sure to offer plenty of classes and times so you can make it work.

Since we DO offer such a large schedule of classes, we want to help guide you through it so you feel confident and comfortable walking into class or pressing play for the first time.

Are you someone who considers themselves “lucky?”

Or do you know someone who is one of those lucky people? Do you wonder how you can become more like them? How can you create your own luck? Is it actually possible?

Well, if you’re someone who has never considered themselves “lucky” then you’re in luck (I couldn’t help it!) because we got some tips for you!

If you want to avoid overuse injuries, overcome plateaus and beat boredom then it’s important to mix up your workout routine. Also, doing the same thing over and over again isn’t as good for your mind as mixing it up can be.

If you want to mix up your workout, but aren’t sure where to start, then keep reading…

Obstacles are a part of life.

No matter who you are or what goal you are trying to achieve, there are going to be things that pop up to try to get in our way. Often times the key to success is not about the obstacle itself, but what you do when you are faced with one.

Keep reading to find out some tips on how to overcome your biggest obstacles.

It’s hard to get motivated enough to pull ourselves away from the hustle and bustle to take that “me time.” Even worse, so many of us feel guilty when we do take that time. You may think that you have to put everyone else in your life ahead of yourself. Your kids, your parents, your job, whatever it is, we often push ourselves to the back.

Even though it seems like we are being selfless and kind when we put everyone in front of ourselves, in reality, we are better able to take care of those around us when our health is in check.

So, it’s time to ditch the guilt and find some simple ways to practice self care…

The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) found the following in a recent study: 65% of their participants completed a goal if they asked someone to hold them accountable to their goals and fully committed to accomplishing their project with their accountability partner.

Wow!

It’s a big part of why we started Remix Fitness. We’ve been in big box gyms with lots of variety, but they’ve felt cold and we’ve felt alone walking in there. We created Remix as a community because we wanted to foster a supportive environment where you could count on someone to be there to push you to reach your goals and your potential.

It’s interesting how many people are willing to spend whatever they can for their children and their spouses, but are so hesitant when it comes to their own health and well being.

Why is that?

Regardless of why so many feel that guilt, we’ve got tips on how to take time for you and not feel bad about it. Keep reading for more…

When we ask people the biggest obstacle that gets in the way of their fitness routine and achieving their goals they more often than not answer, “lack of time!”

Fortunately, there are some simple strategies you can implement to help take your time back and finally get things done so you can work towards and achieve your goals.

We’ve got tips for you! Keep reading to find out how you can actually make time for self care among all the other things you’ve got going on in your life…

Have you ever started something just to give up halfway through the project or skill? You’re not alone. Back when I was in high school, I decided that I was going to paint my room. It was so much fun in the beginning, but I quickly realized that it took a lot more work than I had realized. I got bored and tired, and ended up having to beg my mom to help me finish the project.

Fortunately, we learned from our past mistakes and have some tips to pass along that’ll help you not only be able to start, but actually finish whatever project or goal you have in mind this year.

It’s been a crazy time these past two years dealing with the pandemic, but in particular, we are facing some even tougher times right now with so many of us fighting sickness.

No matter if it’s “mild” or not, any bit of sickness can set you and your exercise routine back. Though it can be mentally draining and discouraging to feel like you’re going backwards, it’s good to remind yourself that it’s not a race and that you can get back to yourself, it may just take a little bit of time!

As we dive into the new year, a lot of us may be starting some new, healthier routines. Now that you’ve started those routines, you may be wondering what’s the best way to get them to actually stick.

Wow! Can you believe that we are just about to start a brand new year?!

I don’t know about you, but 2021 felt like it just flew by. Once again, it’s been an interesting and challenging year for many. Things have been “sort of” back to normal, but not really. We’ve had to adjust and adapt and, as always, mix it up.
