      We are already at the end of January 2016! As u begin to tackle those goals u may be realizing that changing those old habits and truly accomplishing your goals is going to be a bit harder than u imagined. Well the bad news is you're right, its' going to be hard....but that's also the good news! If changing the way U think, acted and felt was easy then we would all be in a lot better shape and a lot healthier, BUT we wouldn't appreciate things nearly as much.
    When u set those goals for 2016 they probably included something along the lines of finally getting in shape, losing weight or starting to eat healthy.  Or maybe your goals were more directed to your professional, personal or spiritual life.  Whatever the goals are the journeys tend to be the same. 
     We have to first decide what the change is we want to happen, we then start to take steps in the direction of the new goal.  Step three typically goes one of two ways: u either realize how hard it is going to be to reach that goal and u give up OR u dig a little deeper into your heart and soul and REALLY begin to make that change in your life.
     Action: /akSHen/ noun 1. the fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim 2. a thing done; an act.
     Change takes action. And no one in the world can make a change in your life except U!! So today we challenge U to take action in your life! Begin to make small changes and move towards your goals for 2016.
     We WANT U to CHOOSE to truly change for good. We want U to CHOOSE that difficult path towards the greater good for YOURSELF. Take action for U! Change for U!

This program is first come, first serve; however we will discuss the class with you first and make sure it's a good fit to jumpstart on your fitness goals.

Our member of the month is a perfect example of our "fitness is for everyone" mentality.  Addy is a thirteen year old girl that has changed her own life, inspired her own family and inspires every single one of us in the studio! Her mother's words describe Addy's journey the best:

Ashley and Erin have been blown away by the physical and mental changes in Addy.  When she first started coming to classes, Addy was shy, hiding her inner strength and would have never ever jumped in the front row of class. Today Addy is so much stronger!  She is much more confident and has absolutely no problem jumping right in the front row!!  Proud doesn't even begin to explain how we feel about Addy, she is a blessing to us all.  It has been such an honor to be a part of her journey.

This month our member of the month is actually a special group of people! Every week we have the privilege of working out with the men and women at Decker's Family Care in Ranier, better known as the Ranier Roost. We (Erin & Ashley) have been visiting twice a week for about a year and half, and the improvements we have seen with this group are amazing!
We have watched them go from limited mobility and coordination to now doing exercises similar to what our in house senior class does. Each week we work on overall strength training, range of motion and even practice chair yoga with them, and each week we are greeted with smiling faces eager to do more.
While our group varies a little week to week, one thing that does not is their desire to live life! They keep moving no matter what it's like outside! After each session, we take them on a walk around the facility, and a few of them even venture outside whether it's sunny or snowing!

Thank U Ranier Roost for allowing us to be a part of your "family." We truly enjoy walking through the doors each week and working out with U ALL!!

Today, June 10th marks our two year anniversary of the doors opening at Evolve U. As many of you have heard we began our journey a few months before the studio opened, taking every opportunity we could find to help clients in their homes. Today, the studio is booming and it's all thanks to U!!!
We opened our doors on a Monday morning with 9 people attending our very first class in the studio.  That week we offered 11 classes and our first weight loss challenge, by week two we expanded to offer 13 classes.  Today we have a packed schedule with classes six days a week, early morning classes, a successful senior program and we have implemented a variety of new classes and programs for all fitness levels.

We do have plans for the upcoming year! We hope to add a few more instructors (after they have gone through the AFAA & Evolve U training), as always we are on the lookout for the newest industry trends in group fitness and we hope to open up more usable space in the backroom.

We cannot thank U enough!!! Evolve U is about educating and changing our community - and all of U continue to make our dreams come true. We thank U from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to walk through the doors, for spreading the word about everything we have to offer and most of all... for evolving your lives and becoming #strongereveryday.
