Affirmation for the day: I am unashamed and unafraid to express myself in ways that feel liberating and authentic. ✨

Share an empowering affirmation in the comments you think everybody needs in their life. 💫

Let us let you in on a little secret 👇🏻

You’ve been searching for the most important piece of the “weight loss” puzzle in all the wrong places, but we have good news 👍🏼

👉🏻You have layers of resilience WITHIN you.

👉🏻You have untouched joy begging to be released.

👉🏻You are capable of growth and change.

👉🏻 You are worthy of self acceptance.

The secret to losing weight has nothing to do with your physical body. It’s learning to let go of the weight of negativity, losing the weight of your inner critic, losing the weight of judgment.

Once you allow yourself to be free from the BS, a free spirit and mind means less cortisol, less depression and repression, less anxiety and expectation, and MORE JOY!

Trust and love on your body, and it will adjust accordingly to become exactly as she/he/they is meant to be in this era of your life.

Like the one and only RuPaul says: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?!”

VIP Spotlight: Chelsea!

The Studio is a great place! When I first started coming, I was scared and didn’t know anyone or anything. The Studio opened my heart and my mind; it made me believe I am more than just a number and an image. I’ve learned so much from going to every class: you soak it in just like a sponge! The Studio is not just a workout facility, it’s a family and a Sisterhood. The instructors are beyond amazing, and they are there for you through every path of your life and every journey you’re facing. The Studio just doesn’t help us physically, it also helps us mentally. I know I was scared of workout gyms because I didn’t like people looking at me. I got anxious and I got scared, but when I walked into The Studio and took a few classes, I instantly fell in love and knew I did not have to be scared. I found a place where I could be free and be me. No judging, no body shaming, no calorie counting, just all over fun and freedom! Give The Studio by Jamie Kinkeade a chance and see what it does for your life. ♡

We love you, !!!

The thing we want you to know most is this 👇

YOU BELONG!

In case that isn’t enough, keep reading.

❤️We don’t care if you’re a trained dancer or have never set foot on a dance floor; if you’ve won bodybuilding competitions or you’re picking up a dumbbell for the first time; if you can do the splits in a handstand or you have no clue what down dog is.

No experience necessary is the name of our game, and you are invited to be on our team!

❤️THIS IS A BIG ONE, SO LISTEN UP 🦻

We GET healthy together, we don’t come together once we’re healthy (that’s what makes it so magical).

Every person who walks through our doors is at a different stage in their fitness journey.

Modifications are shown in every class and we guarantee you will leave feeling stronger, capable, beautiful, and filled with joy. We have women (and some men) of every shape, size, fitness level, and experience you could imagine and they are ALL welcomed with open arms and ZERO judgment.

❤️Not only is it ok, WE’VE BEEN MISSING YOU!

Hey; life happens. We get it. Things pull you away from your self-care routine and sometimes, our physical health suffers.

If that has happened in your life, and now you’re ready to come back, but you're too embarrassed because your body might look or perform differently than it did when you were with us before, we want you to know those are the least interesting things about you.

Nobody cares about those things; we care about YOU.

No matter who you are, one thing is for sure; we miss your soul, your smile, your presence, so get your ass back to class so we can hug you (and then kick it The Studio way).

If you’re a current Studio VIP, drop a ❤️ in the comments to show your support for anyone on the fence about joining our fitness family!

Started from the bottom, now we’re here.

In 2014, I was teaching Zumba to 100 women in a gym.

For 3 years, it kept me sane & filled my soul. I would have continued like that forever, but the universe had other plans.

I was asked to leave because my music was too loud & couldn't find another venue.

I told my students, & what happened next changed my life forever.

My friend had been coming to Zumba & when she heard the news, she told me her dad had an empty space he would lease month to month. At that point, I had never even thought of opening a studio!

I remember signing that lease like it was yesterday, my hand shaking.

31-year-old Jamie had a lot to learn about confidence & self-worth, so naturally, I prepared for failure.

As my family pinched every penny to make this possible, I couldn’t help but think 👇

“Is this selfish?”
“How will we pay the bills?”
“Will anyone come?”

The first class was JAM.

As I drove, I noticed a stream of brake lights in front of me all turning. I followed, then several cars behind me filed in.

What I felt in that moment can’t be described in words.

Soon, our loud music forced us into a new space where we were always greeted with the smell of pizza . We had walls of curtains, a tiny bathroom, & 1 speaker hung by a chain above a wooden stage.

IT WAS AWESOME UNTIL 👇

Our music was too loud & well, you know…

I knew it was time to move to Springfield. I created a space I had only dreamt of.

2 showers? REAL walls? An ACTUAL sound system? I could see it, but I could barely believe it.

Soon, word got out & our waiting lists grew.

In 2018, I created The Studio Online for members who had moved & begged because “There just isn’t anywhere like The Studio.”

In 2020, a miracle happened: when the world shut down, they found us. Being one of the few already offering online classes, our memberships soared & everything changed.

Whether in a white box with 1 speaker & a group of locals, or a big studio with a bumpin’ sound system & thousands of subscribers from all over the world, certain things will always remain the same

WE MOVE FOR FREEDOM, HEALTH, SELF-EXPRESSION & WE LIKE OUR MUSIC LOUD.

What will the next 10 years bring?

Fu* # the traditional New Year’s Resolutions. Here’s why…

To put it simply: they just don’t work!

When you start the year with the same weight loss and calorie cutting resolutions you’ve made every January 1 for the last million years 👇

You are setting the stage for the white flag to be flying by mid-February at the very latest!

Let’s be real; if they’ve never been able to motivate you to keep working hard when the results aren’t coming as quickly as you want, why would they in 2024?

It’s time to evolve, not resolve!

Check out these tried and true tips to creating New Year’s EVOLUTIONS that will keep you motivated and inspired to continue your journey long after the New Year’s hype has died down.

✨ Create big picture, overall quality of life goals like lower blood pressure, walking up a flight of stairs without feeling winded, or a stellar report from your doc when they notice your health improving!

✨Don’t neglect mental health goals as a part of your 2024 success plan!

Building the confidence needed to be your authentic self more often or reducing the amount of stress in your day to day life are just as important for your overall wellness as your physical fitness.

Ask yourself what would make my life more fun and reach for that!

✨When setting goals for 2024, write them with how you want to ACCOMPLISH at the forefront rather than what you SEE.

This could be anything from doing a full body push-up to holding a plank longer, to nailing that dance move you never thought you could.

Performance based goals are historically much more motivating in the long-term than Aesthetic based ones.

When measuring your success as the year goes on, look back at your 2024 New Year’s EVOLUTIONS and keep striving to improve in the areas that mean the most to you.

Let’s practice! 👇

Fill in the blank in the comments below with the above strategies in mind:

In 2024, I have less ________________ and more _______________ in my life.

“I am beyond grateful to share the story that brought me here today. From humble beginnings in Nixa, MO, to leading a global fitness community, my path has been defined by resilience and passion.

Growing up, I witnessed my mom's unwavering dedication—working multiple jobs to support my sister and me. School wasn’t easy; I faced bullying and struggled to find my place. At 10, I discovered my sanctuary: aerobics, dance, and music—a true escape.

My battle with an eating disorder haunted me for years but became the catalyst for my mission today. Becoming a mother at 19 changed everything, and meeting my husband added more layers to life's challenges, including postpartum depression after our son's birth.

The turning point arrived when I attended my first Zumba class in 2010. Empowered by others, I earned my Zumba certification in 2011. My dream of spreading self-love through dance became reality, evolving from school gyms to The Studio in 2014.

However, 2020 hit hard.

The pandemic forced our physical studio to close, but adversity only fueled our innovation. Taking classes online, a 15-minute workout went viral in January, transforming our YouTube channel and attracting a global audience.

Amid this growth, another hurdle emerged—my son's diagnosis of type one diabetes. Yet, our commitment to promoting positivity and healing persisted, driving The Studio's expansion into a 3500-square-foot space and a thriving online community spanning 47 countries, with nearly 400,000 YouTube subscribers.

My journey embodies perseverance, passion, and resilience. It stands as a testament to believing in one's purpose—a reminder that challenges only pave the way for transformation.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Let's continue empowering each other to embrace our true selves and rewrite our stories together.”

Trying to find the best gym for you in 2024? 👇

With so many options, we know it can be overwhelming trying to decide what is best for you to not only reach your wellness goals, but also to feel good and HAPPY during the process.

That’s why we put together 4 elements to consider before making that commitment and investment.

❤️ How do you envision your wellness journey over the next year? What are your goals physically, mentally, and emotionally and will they be able to help you become the best version of yourself?

❤️ Do you need a strong community to help hold you accountable so that you can reach those goals?

❤️ Do they offer enough classes and times that allow you to stay committed despite your own schedule?

❤️ Does it sound like something you would enjoy? The more fun you have, the more consistent you will be because who doesn’t like to have fun?

They are all important questions to ask, but if it were up to us, #4 would reign supreme!

Which is most important to you?

Let us know in the comments so we can better serve our community both in person and online.

The Studio is dedicated to changing lives, not bodies, but don’t just take it from us, take it from one of our long-time and much-loved VIPs.

Meet Angie.

“There have been multiple times in my life I told myself it is acceptable to not fit in perfectly with one particular group. I get along with everyone, and that is a good thing! I was invited by a friend from work to come try Jam. I had watched the videos on YouTube, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up, but it looked like so much fun, I went for it! One class was all it took. From that day forward I have been at The Studio regularly for over 2 years now for an average of 4-6 times per week. I had already begun an exercise journey, but I still couldn’t quite grasp how people could make it to a workout 6-7 days a week. It finally clicked, you make your workout fun and do something you LOVE! Through the variety of classes I have taken, there have been moments of laughing, smiling and pure joy on my face. I’ve also laid on my mat in Savasana with tears streaming down my cheeks. I have been invigorated by the strong people around me to complete burpees, mountain climbers, and hold a plank longer than I ever imagined. In the dimly lit room of The Studio, I become a stronger, all around improved version of myself, who is filled with positivity, and gratitude for the life I have been given. The trick is to learn how to emulate the strength, courage and perspective you’ve gained once you are out of the workout room. In regards to The Studio, “we are more than a workout, we are a community” is not a cliche, it is a way of being. The key is, you first have to be willing to be open to becoming part of a community. It’s not an easy task to let yourself be vulnerable in a room full of people, but nothing worth having is going to be easy. A combination of amazing music, movement, instructors who are willing to struggle alongside you, coupled with a group of women who are willing to wait until you are finally ready to belong, has helped to not only heal my heart, but realize I was wounded and very much in need of healing.

They lied to you when they said fitness is JUST physical.

We all know what it feels like to ⬇️

⚡️Walk into a gym just to feel out of place
⚡️Take a fitness class with an instructor who promises six packs abs
⚡️Or one who mentions our love handles while we work our 🍑off (true story 💔) making us walk away feeling more defeated than when we walked in.

At The Studio, you won’t hear anything about abs or love handles or summer bodies or even calories.

We believe fiercely that fitness happens when we work from the inside out by first learning to care for ourselves, mind, body, and spirit for a better quality of life now and for the long haul.

Here are the 5 principles that guide our classes and instruction:

1. We use movement as a means to find freedom and express ourselves authentically.
2. We trade self-doubt for curiosity: Instead of thinking “I don’t think I can do this,” we say “I wonder what I’m capable of if I give it my best shot.”
3. We know how precious time is, so you will hear frequent reminders to have fun where your feet are and to diminish distractions so you can get the most of your 60 minutes.
4. Music evokes emotion, and emotion elicits movement, and one of greatest pieces of advice during class is to let the music move you so you leave feeling lifted not only in your body, but also in your mood!
5. You will almost always hear your instructor remind you that we are at class together to get healthy and workout, but the workout will happen naturally, so put your energy and focus into having fun, feeling something stir within, and going full out in your form of self-expression. Leave the rest to us.
