Movement is essential to your health.

Has working from home got you sitting way more than you used to? You’re not alone and you’re not to blame! The direction our society is moving, the way we work, and even the way we seek entertainment has got us sitting on our 🍑 a lot. Like a LOT LOT.

Human beings were designed to move. You need to keep your mind, body, and soul active and connected to continue to thrive.

And ya know what? You deserve to thrive! If you’re not feeling your best, it could very likely be due to lack of movement.

Find a form of movement that you enjoy and can do consistently, and see how much better you start to feel.

Who’s ready to sweat it out with us?!

Sometimes we like to break a mental sweat, too. 😅

Awesome turnout for Atomic Habits book club this evening.

If you haven’t read this book yet, we highly recommend it!

With so many options out there, fitness can feel intimidating without some guidance. Where do I start? Who can I trust? Am I doing it right? These are only a few of the questions that might come up in the beginning of your fitness journey.

If any of these resonate with you, check out these helpful tips!

1️⃣ Find a qualified coach to teach you the how and why behind exercises.

2️⃣ Set goals based on how you want to feel and perform as opposed to how you want to look.

3️⃣ Join a fitness community that will support you and have fun with you along the way!

We’re ready for the Heat Up 2022 Challenge 💪🏽🤗🔥

This year we’re focusing on connecting with each other and building healthy habits to start the year off right.

Check our stories for all of the details and get signed up in MINDBODY. Let’s do this 2022!

Heat updated their phone number.

We are so excited to welcome Nutrition Coach Nikki Glass to the Heat team!!

Nikki is an NCI Certified Nutrition Coach. She’s also completed the Women’s Health Masterclass and Gut Health Masterclass through NCI.

She’s been a fitness enthusiast for many years, you might even recognize her from class! And now she’s here to help Heatletes get their nutrition dialed in!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not getting the results you want even though your workouts are on point, your nutrition could very well be the missing link.

The best part?! ➡️ Nikki is joining our team just in time for Black Friday! Stay tuned for a massive deal on nutrition coaching later this week!

10 Reasons Strength Training is Awesome for Women:

1️⃣ Improves self confidence
2️⃣ Makes you better at life. Carrying groceries, kids, giant bags of dog food, etc.
3️⃣ Speeds up your metabolism
4️⃣ Increases longevity aka - you’ll live longer!
5️⃣ Stress relief
6️⃣ Strengthens your bones
7️⃣ Helps to prevent pain and injury
8️⃣ Reduces the risk of disease
9️⃣ Improves mood. More happy days please!
🔟 And possibly most important: it’s empowering as hell!

The fitness industry has come a long way. Even since we opened our doors 5 years ago, we see more women wanting to get strong every day - which is amazing! But alas, the work is not done yet. The fitness world is still saturated with cardio crazes, fad diets, and the beliefs that “more” and “harder” are always better when it come to exercise.

Let’s get more ladies lifting weights 💪🏽💪🏽

The list above is not exhaustive by any means! What are your favorite benefits of strength training?

Monday reminder: when it comes to exercise, SOMETHING is always better than NOTHING.

It all adds up in the long run, and it’s ALWAYS worth it.

Get moving! ❤️💪

Longtime Heat members and friends Carlton and Taylor got married this weekend and we got to be a part of their celebration!

Guiding their crew through a pre-wedding workout was really special ❤️ Congratulations and thank you for letting us be a part of your day 🙏🏽

Want to bring your group in for a private class?! DM us, we’d love to have you!

Witnessing our members hitting milestones never gets old.

As we finish up a week where we saw personal records on a massive scale, we want to give a special shout out to everyone that put in the work and is now seeing that work pay off!

Let’s all remember to take some time to celebrate these wins, big or small.

Setting your mind to something and seeing it through to the end is certainly something to be proud of.

YOU did it the damn thing 💪🏽

Embrace it.

Now take some of that positive energy go find that next challenge!

Thank you for caring so much Jake ❤️💪🏽 Happy birthday!!

It's International Women’s Day!

A day that is all about empowering women and promoting equality.

When it comes to fitness, we have seen a dramatic change over the past decade. Particularly in regards to women and strength training.

In the past, women lifting weights - particularly heavy weights - was very uncommon. For most women, going to the gym was a way to get "skinny" and building muscle was rarely seen on their list of fitness goals.

Women were warned that if they lifted heavy weights, they would become big and bulky rather than lean and strong.

While much of this misinformation is still pervasive, it's getting better, and we hope we have played our little part in this positive change to empower women to be stronger, happier, and healthier.

Some days you do the pushing, some days you need a push!

Hey you! It’s time to leave 2020 behind and start fresh.

Grab a friend and come see what a high quality, results driven group fitness experience is all about.

Don’t have a workout buddy? All good. You will by the time you leave!

We take education very seriously at Heat. We believe that continuing education is vital for the success of our business, our team, and our beloved members. The same holds true for the Black Lives Matter movement. Our first step towards taking action will be to educate ourselves and open the dialogue within our community.
We hope you will join us on July 8th at 7:30pm for a discussion on "White Fragility" by Robin Diangelo. This book club will be held via Zoom so you can join from anywhere! Please sign up in MINDBODY, the Zoom URL will be emailed to the class roster on July 8th.
The book is in high demand right now (which is great!) so please purchase yours as soon as possible if you plan on joining the book club. Audible, Kindle, and ebook versions are available as well if you can’t get your hands on a hard copy. We look forward to learning together!

Motivation occurs in motion.
Struggling to find motivation to do....well, anything? We feel ya. Often times when we feel like this, the thought of getting motivated seems about as attainable as walking on the moon. “If only inspiration would strike, everything would be so much better!”
You know the days when going to the gym is the absolute last thing you want to do? Somehow you muster up the strength to drag yourself to class then feel like a million bucks when you’re done? Of course you do. We all do!
While quarantine isn’t making this any easier on us, it’s still possible to feel better!
Sometimes you just need to get started. Once you get moving, you will start to feel more motivated. Then the more you move, the more motivated you will be, and so on.
Even if it feels like torture, get moving! Start small. Create your own motivation!

Heat Quarantine Scavenger Hunt starting in 30 minutes!! If you are signed up, make sure to tune into our Instagram Live () at 1pm! See you then!

This morning’s workout presented to you by Matt Exotic, Jake Baskins, and Jingles the tiger!
