  • 🎊10 EASY GOALS TO ACCOMPLISH TO SEND 2019 OUT WITH A BANG🎊

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    There are six weeks left before we close out the year, and the decade. What?! We know. If you’re anything like us, you probably still haven’t gotten to a few of your 2019 resolutions. The countdown to 2020 may already be on, but it’s not too late to cross some accomplishments off of your list this year. 

    From your health to your finances and friendships, there are plenty of easy goals to set and achieve before year-end to send 2019 out with a bang and get a head start on a productive 2020. Here are 10 small things you can do to tackle some unfinished business and start 2020 off on the right foot: 

    See the Doc for Your Annual Physical – Improved health is at the top of many resolution lists every year. An annual physical will help you see where you are and where your health can improve next year. 

    Register to Vote – Next year is a big election year. If you’re not already registered, register to vote before the end of the year.  

    Give Back – There is never a shortage on ways to give back to your community, especially this time of year. Find an organization or project you’re passionate about and donate your time or money to the cause. Your contribution, no matter how small, can and will make an impact.  

    Register as an Organ Donor – If you’re struggling to think of ways to give back, one quick and easy way to support members of your community is by registering to be a donor on your driver license or online.  

    Read a Book – Even if you don’t have a lot of extra time to read, commit to reading one short book by the end of the year. It’s a great way to learn something new and add some adventure into your life.  

    Call a Friend You Haven’t Talked to in While – We all get busy and forget to check in on the people we love. As you head into 2020, commit to nurturing the relationships that are important to you.  

    Self-Fitness Challenge – This time of year can be especially challenging to get to the gym. Stay motivated and tap into your Fierce competitive nature by challenging yourself, or a workout buddy to a short fitness challenge. Can you hit 21 Fierce45 classes in 30 days?

    Drink More Water – Drink at least eight glasses of h20 a day. Staying hydrated is important to stay healthy and helps you maximize the benefits of Fierce45 and any other activities you love.  

    Do a Digital Detox – Set down your iPhone for a few days, a week, or even a month. Spend that extra time with family and friends, or enjoying some Colorado winter sunshine.

  • 🏆 NOVEMBER COACH OF THE MONTH – LINDSEY 🏆

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    Instagram handle: @lelinza

    Spotify name: lindsalee

    Teaching schedule: Wednesdays at Hilltop 8:30/9:30am and Thursdays at RiNo 4:30/5:30pm

    How long have you been teaching at Fierce45? About two and a half years

    Three words to describe your classes? Intense, Pplifting, Fun

    Who/what is your spirit animal? The upside down smiley face emoji 🙃

    Favorite workout/class music? Deep house & techno all day baby! 

    Favorite move on the machine? Sprinter’s lunge 😈

    What is your favorite thing about the Fierce45 community? Whether you’re a coach or a client, everyone is in it to support & inspire one another to be their most badass self. From day one, I’ve felt welcomed and encouraged at Fierce, which is a huge reason why I wanted to coach and offer that to others. I sometimes refer to the FierceFormer™ as the “The Great Equalizer” (since it’s challenging for, yet accepting of everyone), and I think it’s a nice metaphor for what our community offers: support to grow, but also praise for just being you and working with what you got.

    Why do you love teaching at Fierce45? I quite honestly have a lot of fun when I teach! I like to create a vibe, an intensity, and an experience – even if it’s only for 45 minutes, and especially if it involves a lot of me dancing around and making bad jokes. 

    Why do you love Fierce Movement as a method? I was getting a bit burned out from running and my prior forms of strength training, so Fierce Movement was such a godsend for my body. I love how it’s *still* so challenging after 3 years, and I love how I feel after class (strong, but jello-y, if that makes sense). Beyond just a physical workout, Fierce Movement helps me practice mental resilience & intentionality, so I always feel more aligned & present when I leave.

    Tell us a fun fact about you! I’m also a yoga teacher – so occasionally, I can be zen… sort of 🙂

  • 😷 Five Ways to Stay Healthy This Cold and Flu Season 🤒

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    As the days start to cool down, being bundled up with a cozy cup of tea may be a nice reprieve from the hot, sweaty summer heat, but there is one major downside to chilly winter months: cold and flu season. Between your kids’ school germs, taking care of your sick S.O., and the cougher on your commute home, getting sick may seem inevitable. The good news is, there are a few things you can do to help you stay healthy. 

    Here are five tips for staying healthy this cold and flu season: 

    1. 🤲🏻 Lather, rinse, repeat 24/7 🤲🏽

    You’ve heard it before, but we’ll say it again: wash those hands! Washing your hands, and washing them often, may be the most important thing you can do to fight off germs, but you have to make sure you’re scrubbing for long enough. The CDC recommends scrubbing your hands for 20 secondsto effectively kill germs. Can’t use soap and water? Hand sanitizer will do the trick when you’re on the go. 

    2. 🚰 Drink up🚰

    Staying hydratedis important for your health year-round, but when you are fighting off or trying to recover from a cold, you should be downing H20 like it’s your job. You should aim for the recommended eight glasses of water per day, sick or not, but upping your fluids when you’re sick can help ensure that your body is hydrated enough to fight off an infection. 

    3.   🧼 Get your clean freak on 🧼

    When you’re trying to fight off a cold or the flu from someone in your house, it’s time to get your clean freak on. First, make sure the cleaning supplies you are using to disinfect work against the viruses you may be trying to get rid of. A good place to start is cleaning your houses germiest surfaces, including phones, remotes, handles, knobs, light switches, tables and counters.  

    4.   🏋🏾‍♀️ Stick to your workout schedule 🏃🏻‍♂️

    It may be tough to leave your warm, cozy house to get a workout in, but your body—and your mind—will thank you. Keeping your body strong also helps to keep your immune system strong. Just make sure you are wiping down your machine after you sweat it out! 

    5.   😴 Ready, Set, Sleep 😴

    Getting enough quality sleep is basically mandatory for staying healthy. It may seem like common sense, but good sleep goes a long way when you’re trying to keep cold and flu germs at bay. 

    Stay healthy, Fierce fam! 🖤

  • 🏋🏿‍♀️CROSS-TRAINING WITH FIERCE TO UP YOUR FITNESS GAME🏋🏻‍♀️

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    Whether you’re a ski bum, yogi, an avid cyclist or running addict, it can be a struggle to find the perfect the right cross-training routine. There is no denying that cross-training will improve your physical fitness level, keep you injury-free, and help maintain balance and fun, so why choose Fierce as your cross-training option? Well, we are glad you asked!

    Fierce Movement® is the perfect complement to any cross-training or regular fitness routine. One of the many reasons our clients are obsessed with Fierce is its ability to incorporate cardio, strength, endurance, body composition, and flexibility into every move. Simply add Fierce Movement® into your regular fitness routine a couple of times a week and watch your fitness game improve.  

    Why athletes love Fierce for Cross-Training 

    Athletes at any level tend to perform a lot of repetitive movement while they are mastering their craft. Doing the same movement over and over again in your fitness routine can create a barrier in gaining muscle, thus making your progress plateau. Incorporating other effective forms of training, like Fierce45®, into your regimen will help with overall endurance, stamina, and increase muscle growth. 

    Fierce Movement® was born through the acknowledgment of the pitfalls of high-impact, repetitive workouts, and the damaging effects such movements can cause on the body. The Fierce method challenges your body by combining the strength-building components of weight lifting with the low-impact techniques of traditional Pilates. 

    The Benefits of Fierce for Cross-Training 

    • Fast recovery: By performing slow-twitch muscle movement, instead of your typical fast-twitch muscle movement, your recovery time speeds up, ultimately allowing you to cross-train and still get right back to doing your favorite activity.

    • Low impact: Fierce45® classes are tension-based, which means there is little to no impact on your joints. But with the ability to add 8 – 150 lbs. of resistance, you can still see the same muscle gain benefits you would see in higher-impact workouts like weight lifting.

    • Increased stability: Using a type of muscle activation called co-contraction—which means that muscles all around the joint are working at the same time instead of one at a time—the stability around your joints improves and makes them less prone to injury.

  • 💆‍♂️SELF-CARE SEPTEMBER💆🏽‍♀️

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    It’s Self-Care September, which means it’s the perfect time to ‘treat yo-self.’ Whether you are a long-time self-care advocate, or simply trying to get into a routine, taking time for yourself is crucial. Self-care isn’t selfish.  

    We know you’re busy. Taking time for yourself each week doesn’t have to take up an entire Sunday or break the bank to make an impact. Here are some ideas for small changes you can make throughout your week to help you get your self-care on: 

    Self-care for your mind is just as important as self-care for your body. Even if you make taking care of your body a priority, whether it’s through exercise, diet or even the occasional massage, it’s likely that you’re neglecting to take care of your mind at the same level. It can be as simple as a five-minute daily meditation practice, journaling, or checking in on your emotional wellbeing. If that’s not for you, start by focusing on and enjoying the mind-body connection that each Fierce45 class offers. Each low and slow squat, plank-to-pike, and hero challenges your focus and concentration, in turn helping you slip into a meditative state; thus building your mental strength.

     Set a weekly appointment with yourself. Put a self-care appointment on your calendar and treat it as importantly as you would a meeting with your boss. We know life gets busy, and it’s easy to let self-care be the first thing that gets canceled when life happens. If you start creating boundaries and prioritizing set time for yourself, the people in your life will also begin to respect your me-time.

     Say no more and don’t apologize for it. There is never enough time in the day to get everything done, and there is always something that goes unattended or something that you always seem to neglect. Find a way to make time for what is important, like self-care. Start saying no to more things and yes to more YOU! You don’t need to be at every happy hour. That client email can wait until tomorrow morning. And it’s okay if your kids eat school lunch. 

    Start consistently putting yourself at the top of your to-do list. Self-care isn’t something that only happens when you’ve reached full burnout status. You have to start by taking care of yourself to be the best friend, partner, boss, parent, or employee you can be. 

  • 🐯FIERCE FAQ: THE BASICS🐯

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    Have you wanted to try a Fierce Movement® class, but you aren’t quite sure what to expect? Here is a breakdown of a few basics you’ll need to know before you hit the FierceFormer™️.  

    What is Fierce Movement®? 

    Fierce Movement® is a 45-minute full-body workout. Best described as high-intensity Pilates, Fierce Movement® incorporates slow, controlled movements and quick transitions. The goal is to maintain continuous tension to burn through slow and fast-twitch muscle fibers, keeping you in the fat-burning zone and helping you build long, lean muscles.  

    How is Fierce45® different from other Pilates classes? 

    Traditional Pilates is done on a Reformer and is best known for focusing on alignment, rehabilitation, and understanding how to engage different muscles. While Fierce Movement® builds on that traditional Pilates foundation, it also incorporates more strength training, cardio, and balance elements.  

    What should I bring to class? 

    Sticky socks are required. You can bring your own or purchase some in-studio. We also recommend bringing some water to stay hydrated.  

    What if I can’t do something in class?  

    One of the most amazing things about Fierce Movement® is that it is for everybody and every body. There are modifications for most movements to accommodate injuries, pregnancies, and various fitness levels. The FierceFormer™️ also allows you to adjust your resistance. If you need more or less, you can add or remove springs. But as always – listen to your body! ❤️

    What are the differences in the class formats? 

    HIIT + Core: The HIIT + Core class combines 25 minutes of High-Intensity Interval Training off the machine and 20 minutes of center core + obliques for the most badass, calorie-burning, efficient workout ever. Bring your tennis shoes and sticky socks and be prepared to SWEAT. 🚫 We recommend that you take about 10 Fierce Classes prior to signing up for HIIT + Core🚫    

    AMPED: AMPED is not for the faint of heart. This format takes our full-body class and amps it up to 55 minutes. This advanced burn will push your muscles to fatigue with low-impact and high-impact intensity movements and recommended for the truly INTENSE Fiercer.

    Can I take a class while I’m pregnant?  

    Yes! This method is perfectly safe for pregnant and postnatal mamas, after consulting with your doctor, of course. Inform your coach before class so that you can be given guidelines/modifications to follow to ensure safety while still getting a kick-ass workout! Want even more tips and tricks on modifications? Keep an eye on our schedule for upcoming pregnancy and postpartum workshops.

    Christine Lyons – Fierce CFO

    A bit about my background: I was born and raised in FL. I was a gymnast,  wakeboarder, and avid runner pretty much my whole life. I attended the University of Florida (Go Gators!) where I received my Master’s in Accounting and also completed my CPA. I had the best group of friends and moved with one of my best friends to Atlanta after we graduated where I worked for PwC. In 2014, I visited CO for a friend’s wedding, and without hesitation, looked for a job out here immediately. In May of 2015, I packed everything up, left behind everyone I loved, and moved out here to CO. I didn’t start my job until July 2015 so during that time I explored different areas and gyms which leads me to… 

    Screen Shot 2019-11-23 at 11.30.24 AM.png

    Outside of being the CFO: When I’m not at Fierce, coaching Fierce, taking Fierce, breathing Fierce, I spend my days with my husband (who I met at my old CO public accounting firm) Jordan and all of our friends. Jordan and I are the proud parents of 2 corgis, Ripley, and Ziggy Starburst. We both love to bike and snowboard. I also love to travel and visit all my friends and family who are scattered across the country.  

    Screen Shot 2019-11-23 at 11.23.26 AM.png

    How I started at Fierce: During my extended vacation before starting my job, I decided to try out this gym in LoHi through classpass called Fierce45. I showed up thinking this would be easy peasy and got my butt handed to me in a way I never had before (except the time I took my mom’s car out for a joy ride at 13) It was so hard I didn’t come back for three months. However, once I braved coming back, I fell in love. Then in 2017, I decided I would sign up for Teacher Training. It took a lot of convincing since my day-to-day was pencil skirts and board meetings. Getting on a mic to yell at people to hold a plank was a whole new challenge, and I was up for it because fitness was always my passion. During teacher training, we were given a brief overview of the Company. Looking it over, I realized Melissa Williams was in charge of all things operational and financial. At that moment, I decided this was my chance. This was how I could marry my accounting knowledge with my love of movement and fitness. I walked up to Torrey, asked her if they would be interested in a CPA, and the rest is history. Follow your gut and your dreams!

    My History: I grew up in NY, about 15 miles north of Manhattan and started my college experience at SUNY Albany. I had a 2-year-old sister and felt I was missing everything, so I quickly transferred and finished my undergrad degree in Speech Pathology & Audiology at Iona College. I then went on to attend St. John’s University, where I received my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology while managing a restaurant in the West Village. I needed a change, and if I had to step on one more subway, someone might have gotten hurt.  I decided to look for fellowship positions in Colorado. My family had vacationed in Colorado during the Winter and Summer, and I loved it. The plan was to move to Denver for two years and then back to NY or somewhere new. My dad had lived in many places, and I was always intrigued and inspired by that. These plans quickly changed when I met my husband Ray, about a month after moving. After 8 years of dating, Ray asked me to marry him on New Year’s Day, 3 years later (to the day), our daughter, Serafina, was born and just 4 months ago, our son Atticus entered this wild ride. 

    Why Fierce: I was in a pretty dark place when I learned about Fierce45. Serafina was a ROUGH baby and had terrible colic. She cried all day every day for 6 months, and then it lessened, and finally, we all got some real relief around month ten.  I learned that I had been battling postpartum depression, but didn’t really know it until much later.  I met one of Torrey’s BFF’s, Robin, at baby and me swimming, and she suggested I check out Fierce. I told her I had seen it, and it looked too hard, but she assured me that anyone could do it and modify as needed. So I pushed myself really hard, stepped out of my comfort zone, and went. I was welcomed with open arms and the energy, vibe, and Community that I felt within seconds was amazing.  I genuinely felt seen, supported, and I finally felt strong – both physically and mentally. Something I hadn’t felt in a long time.  I firmly believe that my time on the machine and the people inside the walls of Fierce45 pulled me out of the dark postpartum days.  

    After my first class, I immediately signed up for a week, then a month, and then hopped into a membership. A few months in, I was asked to start doing front desk and childcare work. From there, I began to manage our LoHi and West Wash Park locations.  When we were ready, we hired designated Studio Mangers for those locations, and I became the General Manager for the Company. Since then, I have done everything from installing closet organizers, to washing rental socks, to opening new studios, to taking on our financials/books/payroll (which was completely insane) – Fast forward to today, I’m the COO and get to work hand-in-hand with Christine Lyons as our CFO to take Fierce45 to the next level. 

    I couldn’t be happier in my position at Fierce and am always excited by the next challenge my dear friend, Torrey visualizes. Getting to work alongside some bad-ass, inspiring, women every day that I call friends is an honor and a privilege. AND I get to do so all while wearing leggings and my favorite pair of Cofi Leather sneakers.  

    Screen Shot 2019-11-23 at 11.42.48 AM.png

    Weird thing about me:  I have a photographic memory. Which is pretty cool for me, but not so much for my husband.

  • 🚰MILE HIGH HYDRATION: WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT🚰

    ·

    Jessica Sharpe

    Our love for the Mile High City runs deep, and it has a lot to do with the 300 days of sunshine we see each year. While you’re out having fun in the sun, it’s easy to forget to stay hydrated, but Colorado summers are no joke. Between the scorching temperatures and high altitude, it’s not only essential to consume enough fluids for your overall health, but also to maximize the benefits of Fierce Movement® – and your other fave summer activities.

    If you’re still not convinced, here are four more reasons to imbibe in some extra H20 this summer:

    ENERGY

    Water helps deliver crucial nutrients throughout your body to boost energy levels. Staying hydrated can give you more energy and also help alleviate headaches, drowsiness, body aches, and elevate your mood. If plain old water doesn’t do it for you, toss in a squeeze of lemon or a flavored water additive that can give you some electrolytes for an added energy boost.

    WEIGHT LOSS

    Getting enough water throughout the day can aid in getting rid of the last of your winter weight. Drinking water can help you feel full longer without adding any extra calories. It’s also not uncommon for some people to mistake thirst for hunger. If you’re still feeling hungry and you just ate, try drinking a glass of water, or eating some foods with high water content—like watermelon, cucumbers, celery or peaches.

    DETOX

    Summer in Colorado isn’t quite summer without enjoying a warm patio night with good food and good drinks. Hydrating, especially after a night out, can help flush toxins out of your body faster, making hitting up your local happy hour a little more forgiving on your body.

    GLOW

    Your self-care Sunday may not be complete without all of your skincare creams and elixirs, but one of the best ways to get that summer glow? Yup, you guessed it, HYDRATE! When your body is hydrated, your skin is hydrated, and that is the best defense against aging. So, drink up, Fierce fam.

    The recommended amount of water to stay hydrated is eight glasses per day, but that can vary based on activity and how much time you spend in the heat outside (not to mention the Colorado altitude). So, make the most of our beautiful state this summer and hit your hydration goals! I mean, who doesn’t want a health boost, an increase in your energy, and a healthy glow all thanks to a bit of H2O?
