How to feel healthy, free, and connected in your body without compromising your budget or mental health in a toxic gym environment!

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN to 💪THE RECONNECT💪

Yesterday I revealed information about The Reconnect 6 week program for attaining a feeling of health, wholeness, and freedom in the body.

The response was AMAZING.

So here’s what’s going to happen…

I am looking for 30 bipoc mid 20-30 year olds who want to feel healthier and more connected in their bodies, are sick of carrying so much trauma, pain, tension, and weakness in their bodies, and are ready to take back control.

On Monday July 18, these founding members will start working closely with me to reconnect to their bodies. I got you every step of the way!

Does that sound exciting to you?

Would you LOVE to stop worrying about gym triggers and cost of functional movement training and start taking the right steps towards FINALLY feeling good in your body again?

Those 30 Founding Members will get:

✅ Access to The Reconnect 6 week program so that they can reset their bodies to moving with more fluidity and healthy functionality

👉 The program follows the Move Connected Method, which is a unique system to help you reclaim access to the range of movement your body has.. With the Move Connected method:

1) Workouts prioritize integrated movements and body awareness
2) Healthy strength gains are made when training intensity meets intentionality.
3) The program doesn't shoot for max effort until movements are mastered
4) Understanding of posture, positional strength, and correct movements patterns are the keys to training longevity. My “3Ps” are at the core of the program.
5) Part of the program is dedicated to fitness flow. Intuitive training>Movement creativity>Fitness Flow>Optimal physical well-being.
6) A trainer’s job is to give the client the tools to train self-sufficiently. I provide the tools for DIY fitness.

✅ Weekly group coaching calls to help personalize your plan

✅ A pdf guide to realignment so you can identify and remove the mental blocks and limiting beliefs holding you back from existing free in your body

✅ An easy guide to conscious eating so that you can incorporate balanced, wholesome, and affordable food choices and meal ideas into your week

✅ Your own App to get your body moving anywhere, anytime

✅ Discounted Monthly Coaching: Including Access To New Content

✅ The Exclusive Community To Hold You Accountable And Create Long Term Results

The best part is, you will get all of this for a huge discount as a founding member!

Interested in incorporating intentional movement practice back into your life from an unrestricted decolonial framework?

Comment below with “I’m ready, let’s do this!” & I will personally send you the details.

It’s that simple.

Just type “I’m ready, let’s do this!” below to secure your spot.

Living Connected,

PS: You may be thinking… What’s the catch? Well there is no catch. I’m simply looking to test out my new program and get some amazing testimonials before releasing it to the wider public at the price it deserves.

PPS: There are only 30 spots available as founding members for The Reconnect 6 week program, so if this sounds like you, don’t wait!

07/10/2022

Are you a BIPOC person in your mid 20s-30s looking to incorporate intentional movement practice back into your life?

How are you supposed to feel healthy, whole, free, strong, and connected in your body when you feel a constant state of exhaustion and trauma existing in an anti-black white supremecist patriarchal capitalist world? 😱

“Is it actually possible to feel more connected in my body without dealing with toxic gym culture, heteronormatinve aesthetics centered standards for fitness, and financial limitations?! 🤯”

I bet you’ve given gym memberships, personal training, and old workout dvds a try... But nothing has quite worked for you, right?

And how do you even find the ⏰ TIME ⏰ to workout at a gym let alone commute there… if you work long hours at job that requires loads of your time and energy?

How do you justify spending money on cardio machines, kettlebells, dumbbells, etc if you barely use it?

😨 Why is it so nerve-racking to engage in physical activities with friends (ie camping, hiking, partying, protesting, etc)?

Is the constant battle to feel strong in my body really worth it?

Can you really get healthy and work toward optimal physical well-being without being triggered by toxic fitness culture?

🤔 And when should you stretch?

🤔 Should you push yourself in a workout if you haven’t done so in 6+ years? What if I’m stuck on how to get started?

🤔 Are 150min of cardio per week really required? How often?

🤔 What about proper rest and recovery?

Take a sec…and just BREATHE 😮‍💨

If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… day after day… I might be able to help.

Hey, it's TBanks here… 👋

And, while I don't claim to know it all, I HAVE helped countless folks like you transform their body, mindset & life by creating a sustainable step by step action plan. 💪

And yet…

Not that long ago, I was in your shoes.

I spent the last 9 years reprogramming how my body moves. I overcame several debilitating stress induced injuries and chronic pain, and learned the hard way the value of moving intentionally.

Those days were rough.

I'd take a step forward only to take three more back. I was losing myself to the trauma stored in my body.

Anyways, if that's kinda how you feel right now...

Let me give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the fast lane to feeling strong and healthy that you can be proud of.

TRANSFORMER! Yeah….YOU! Let me help you get FREE in your body! 💪

👇 Here is what I’m proposing. 👇

I’ve had a TONNE of community folks reach out to me asking for my help.

So I had this dope idea to build a step by step plan to guide you from body achyness, tension, low energy, and dysfunctional movement to feeling comfortable and connected to your body again in just 6 weeks.

No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from feeling blahhh 😕 to BAM💥 !

✅ If you are interested in claiming one of the 20 spots available, comment below with: *I’m ready, let’s do this!*

👉 More details to follow tomorrow in another post at 11:00am.

05/26/2022

to the track and field days! Grateful for all the lessons the sport has taught me. Definitely played a role in my coaching style today

05/06/2022

I rarely spend time training my core. When we stay present and connected to our bodies when training, the core will always be engaged! If you don't feel activity in your mid section when you're working out, see a coach for support! I have some spots open, so feel free to reach out if you are in Chicago 🤘

The moment I committed training for health vs aesthetics, I not only increased my athleticm but also started seeing more detail in my muscularity...who woulda thunk?!

Photos from TBfit's post 04/27/2022

BACK to my workouts! I'm going to progress slowly back into strength training by starting with my signature program. HBH was a 90 day reconnect to self and journey back to health. This program was a comprehensive strength and cardio program that also served as a 90 day community wellness focus group. The group and I held ourselves accountable from November 2021 - end of January. It was quite the commitment but we all did it!! And came our mentally and physically stronger.

I'm starting back up with training in May and gonna do these HBH workouts again. I have all the workouts up on TBFit Patreon - if anybody wants to join me, shoot me a message!

Also, thinking about doing another program like this....any interest??

So ready to get back outside next week for training! No gym...never a problem 😁😉 Feel free to reach out for outdoor training options💪🏾

04/19/2022

Exercise of the day: Push step to Split jerk press

Tips:

1️⃣The ceiling is lava! Stay low on that push step to really feel your hips and thighs working the movement

2️⃣The split jerk is essentially a lunge. With any lunge variation, I tell folks that the feet should be on train tracks vs a tight rope. You ever feel like you're losing your balance when trying to hold a lunge? It's probably because you have tightrope feet! Spread your feet out and get grounded on those lunges

3️⃣Arm pits to ears on that overhead press. Really punch through the ceiling and act as if your holding up something heavy overhead. All about the power of intention folks - you don't need weights to feel the burn!

4️⃣Pre-engage the core - You shouldn't feel any lower back pain in that push step position. Create neutrality and stability in your lower spine by bracing that core. Pretend like someone is about to punch you in the stomach and feel how your belly hardens to protect itself. That's a pre-engaged core!

Want more individualized support? Message me for training options ✨

04/10/2022

Just flow ✨ Back outside real soon folks!

04/06/2022

Yall this is a new fav for me. The exercise works so many different areas - Try it out! Here's a few:

Hip mobility
Adductor (inner thigh) flexibility
Thoracic spine (middle back) rotational mobility
Core stabilization
Spinal control and awareness
Shoulder scapular stabilization

04/05/2022

A throwback! My training goals may have shifted away from bodybuilding. But my heart is always with the sport. This is where I got my start. I started strength training at 11 years old with a pro bodybuilder who I looked up to. Functional strength and conditioning is my focus now, but I'll remember where I got my start!

Will start back up with small group training, and maybe even plan another larger community workout event. Stay tuned!
