Happy New Year! We have been so blessed with the community here at Real Fit! We look forward to continuing to share in that community and write an amazing book this year!

The New Year is upon us and making resolutions is a popular thing to do. Resolutions can be great if you stick to them which is the hard part. Even if you don’t set new year’s resolutions having an accountability partner that you share your goals with will increase your chances for success, all the while giving yourself grace when life throws you curveballs. Men’s Health has nailed it with some great ideas for accomplishing your fitness goals in the New Year. https://www.menshealth.com///new-years-fitness-hacks-2018/

Meet our newest member Charlene, a very spry 87-year-old who is not afraid to take on new challenges. Balance issues and macular degeneration does not deter her from wanting to get stronger and healthier. Her first workout was five rounds and although it looked daunting at the time, once she made it through the fifth round she told me she wanted to do another, she was really enjoying it. Thank you for being such an inspiration Charlene showing us that functional fitness is for everyone and it’s never too late to start!

As we continue to navigate changes from the health department and with the holidays upon us we will be posting a weekly schedule instead of a monthly calendar for December. Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to continuing to support your wellness during this time when it continues to remain a top priority to stay healthy.

FREE yoga (Face Book live) tomorrow and Sunday at 9am from our favorite yoga instructor Cara Simmons! Join us in the comfort of your home (and pjs!).

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

One of the most inspirational stories I’ve read in a long time. Some quotes that really stuck out to me: Experts always spoke of him in terms of limitations, instead of possibilities As he grew fitter he seemed mentally sharper, more attentive and confident... Are you going to let your pain win or your dreams win? What would happen if we focused on our cans instead of our can’ts? There are plenty of people who would love to have our abilities. P.S. get your tissues ready. https://www.nytimes.com//ironman-triathlon-down-syndrome.h

In our gym we call it functional fitness. When we do functional fitness each workout is different to target a different stimulus. There is a reason we want to keep workouts constantly varied besides keeping it interesting and enjoyable. This article does a great job of explaining the purpose for the variation in our workouts to reach different stimulus. https://overlandparkcrossfit.com/the-importance-of-knowing/

Good form makes all the difference when it comes to lifting. It keeps injuries at bay and provides more power making the lift more effective and efficient. I captured a still shot of Courtney’s gorgeous triple extension (ankles, knees and hips all open with arms still straight). We can all get so far when it comes to raw strength, but in Olympic lifts it’s the technique that will get us past those plateaus. This is a beautiful example of harnessing all the power of the lower body to move the barbell to a high enough position to be able to pull under it. Nice work on your 15# PR Courtney Falter!

Here is our class schedule for the week of Dec 7. We would love to have you join us. Your first class is free! You can sign up at www.realfitkc.com/shop

The best message! Why we do what we do in the gym. https://youtu.be/Fz1q8NWbExc

We all come from a family, choose friends as family, and sometimes become part of an unexpected family. This year has had so many unprecedented challenges, many of which are long from over. As my own family and I have navigated the continual changes to sports, school, socialization, and our businesses, one thing has remained constant, steady and normal, my gym family. In my heart I’ve always known what we do on a daily basis is more than just working out, losing weight, and... getting stronger. We are encouragement, voices of reason, anger management, stress relief, comic relief, parenting advice, marriage counseling, comfort, understanding and a place of solace for each other. We have navigated being shut down with online workouts and keeping each other accountable, to pop up driveway workouts (socially distanced of course) to opening back up with partial capacity, no more hugs/high fives, to feeling somewhat normal, to self quarantining because a family member was exposed, to wearing masks and trying to breathe all the while being grateful to still being open. This year has proven to me that we are resilient, adaptable, and stronger than ever. I am beyond grateful for my gym family, your ongoing support, adaptability, and willingness for change for whatever comes our way. Thank you for making my happy place happier, whether it’s virtual or not. Happy Thanksgiving to all and may you stay safe, happy, and adaptable. Coach Renee

Here is our schedule for the rest of the year. We look forward to ending the year with you and all the burpees!

In continuing efforts to keep our gym members safe and comply with the new Platte County Health Department mandates we will have a few changes for this week. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times. 1) As of Monday, November 23, 2020 masks will be required when entering the gym and throughout the duration of the workout for indoor workouts. This also applies to yoga and kickboxing classes. Outdoor workouts will not require a ma...sk as long as 6 feet distance is maintained. Children 5 and over accompanying adults must also wear a mask. Exceptions to this rule are individuals with specific medical issues that would be worsened by mask wearing. 2) Both our Functional Fitness 5k and our Community Workouts scheduled for this week will be available to gym members only to keep our numbers safe and within compliance. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your flexibility and continued support!
