Get Lively: Health & Fitness

Life is full of twists and turns, and for many of us, the journey through perimenopause and menopause can feel like an especially winding path. 😮‍💨

If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed, or even lost in this stage of life, know that you’re not alone. In fact, I’m right there with you. 🤍

I share on this week’s show that I feel like I’m in a complete state of identity confusion. I’ve had a hysterectomy, I’m on HRT, I’m in perimenopause, but I still seem to get PMS?!? I’m a confused mess! 🫠

Have you ever wondered why we chose Watertown as the home of our fitness studio? 🤔

Well, quite simply, Get Lively was born in my home here in Watertown back in 2014. 🏡

Since then, we've had a studio on Parker Street and, for the last year and a half, our fabulous home on Clarendon St. 🏢

But no matter where we are in town, what remains the same is our LOVE for the community and being a lively partner with local organizations and businesses. ❤️

You know we hold The Watertown Food Pantry at the top of that list and we are always looking for new partnerships. So, if you volunteer at a local organization or are part of a local business that pairs with our vibe, let's connect! 🤝

Hope you're all soaking up the summer sun and enjoying these long, warm (okay, almost too warm) days! 😅

As we move through this season, I wanted to take a moment to chat about the idea of “softening the edges” and embracing a bit of flexibility – this is what has been on my mind…

🔹 Change is Subtle, but Real.
🔹 Summer is Far from Over.
🔹 Letting Go of Expectations.
🔹 Unplugging for Peace.

Listen to the most recent podcast episode where I explore each of these topics and more 🎙️ https://getlivelynow.com/336

Did you immediately start singing this song in your head?! ME TOO!

Unless you just recently joined us, you know that we celebrated our 10th anniversary during the entire month of June. Part of the festivities included a new website for the studio. And of course that meant going through the site and reviewing.

So I went back to the first post. Oh my.

I forwarded it to my sister and said:

I'm laughing. I'm crying. I'm shaking my head. So much has changed. SO much is the same. Listen to this week's episode to learn more: https://getlivelynow.com/335

Summer is here, and with it comes a lot of fun (hopefully!)—and often a shift in our schedules and routines. But I've discovered something powerful: getting consistent with just one thing can keep you anchored, no matter what the season throws at you.

Consistency in one thing can have a ripple effect, creating great habits that stick.

So, this summer, find your fitness anchor and stick with it. Stay consistent with that one thing, and let it guide you through the fun and the busy times.

Vacation mode is officially on, but that doesn't mean movement has to stop! 🌴

At Get Lively, we believe in keeping the fun going, even while you’re away.

Whether you’re exploring new places or simply relaxing on the beach, staying active can be a breeze.

👟 Explore on foot with a morning walk or evening stroll. Walking is a great way to stay active and soak in the scenery.

💪 Opt for activities like hiking, biking, or boost your routine with a fun local class like like I will this week while visiting my hometown!

🧘‍♂️ Start your day in your hotel room with a gentle stretch or a quick yoga session to keep your body ready for vacation fun!

Every bit of movement counts. Keep it light, enjoy your time away, and, most importantly, keep smiling! 😄

Today's not just another day - it's MY birthday! 🎂

And I couldn't be more thrilled to mark not only another year, but also our incredible 10th Anniversary! 🥳

As we wrap up our month-long celebration of Get Lively’s 10th anniversary, I’ve got a little something to share that’s been on my mind. This reflection might come as a surprise to you - and I’m not wrapping the month in a negative tone, rather - I’m calling out my own truth bomb.

Listen in to find out what it is. https://getlivelynow.com/333

When you join a big box gym, your fitness routine fits inside that box — and it often stays there. There's no one cheering you on, no routine that evolves with your skills, and no excitement...

At Get Lively, we believe that investing in your fitness should be just as fun and rewarding as investing in your wardrobe or your skincare routine! 💪

🔹 From kickboxing to Pilates, our classes are designed to be effective, safe, and FUN.

🔹 Our team of trainers brings decades of experience and energy to every class, ensuring you get the best workout possible. We’ve got the BEST team in town! 🎉🎉🎉

🔹 We believe in the power of community and connection, which is why we're dedicated to providing personalized attention and support to every member.

I guess it’s fitting that 10 years into Get Lively, I’m podcasting about something that I chat about often… how I often struggle replaying useless stories over and over in my head.

The second guessing, the fear, and blah, blah, blah.

In my latest loop with these doubts and fears, I was able to hit the internal pause button and say:

Jan, you are doing it again. You know this doesn’t help you at ALL, so what’s a better thing to do right now?

And it came to me: THINK FORWARD.

Listen to this episode as I explain further. https://getlivelynow.com/332

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know we’ve seen a few versions of our logo with our signature ⭕️… let’s get retro this week and pull out our old gear as we continue celebrating our 10th anniversary!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy Anniversary #22 🎉🎉🎉

Meet our Get Lively member, George Parker! 👋

George Everett Parker III, or “GP” as we all call him, started getting lively with the crew in 2017 as a mainstay at our outdoor bootcamp classes!

The other half of “Team Parker”, GP is known (and loved!) for his witty comments, belting out a random song lyric or two (especially when Dave Matthews is blasting from the speakers), and alway being on point to do math when Jan messes up her rep counts.

He loves all things seafood, and cooking on his beloved Green Egg, but if you ask him what’s his favorite local meal, his reply: Prime Rib at 😋

Just don’t think about giving him (or his wife, CB) a popsicle as he can’t handle the wooden stick - he often reacts the same way to planks, but he does them anyway!

And this guy is always up for laugh, whether that be showing up to class wearing CB’s new leggings, or dressing as her for a Halloween class, we all agree that his debut as at the opening of our most recent studio, takes the cake!

Keep making us laugh (and doing Jan’s math) GP! 👏

Get ready for the ultimate popstar showdown at our LIVELY Girls' Night Out! ✨

Join us on Thursday, June 20th for a kickboxing showdown: Madonna vs. Britney. After the showdown, we'll head to for drinks, laughter, and more fun 🍹

Registration includes one drink ticket at Donahue's - plus, a special rate for members!

Are you team Britney or Madonna? Tag your squad, dress your team, and come celebrate 10 years of liveliness with us 👯‍♀️

Meet our Get Lively member, Lizzy Geraci! 👋
Liz Allspach Geraci

From her home state of Iowa to building her life and family in Watertown (with a stint in Provincetown in between!), we aren't sure where we’d be without Lizzy, who started getting lively in 2017!

One of the “OGs” who worked out in the basement, she’s been an amazing ambassador since day one. Whether working events and rolling the fitness dice at Faire on the Square or at the Farmer’s Market, she’s always there smiling and chatting with potential livelies. (Especially if we are playing her favorite U2 tunes while working the table! 😉)

If you are lucky enough to have her cook for you, make sure she makes her famous broccoli salad, and if she wants to go out for dinner, make sure you suggest her local favorite .cino.gather

And rest assured, if you are part of the morning class crew, she’ll make sure we get both sides in on every move when Jan asks her every class: What have we got, Lizzy?

“Two sides!” she replies.

As we celebrate 10 years of getting LIVELY in Watertown, there couldn’t be a better member to kick off our new member spotlight series.

We love you, Lizzy! 💓

This month marks 10 years of Get Lively and we're partying all month long! 🥳
