What’s your why?

  • From all of us on the Fierce45® team, we want to highlight an amazing client, Besmire Tetaj! Bes’s consistent presence, incredible energy, and deep dedication don’t just make a difference—they are the difference. Every time she walks through our doors, she brings a light that’s impossible to miss. Bes’s smile is contagious, her spirit is uplifting, and her fierce determination inspires everyone around you. Whether it’s Bes’s first class of the week or her fifth, she shows up fully, and that commitment motivates our coaches, staff, and fellow Fierce fam alike. Bes – we see you. We appreciate you. And we’re so grateful you’re part of our community!

    1. How long have you coming to Fierce45? It’s been almost 6 months! 🙂  
    2. Favorite move on the machine? I have a few favorites but the one I enjoy the most is Sprinter.  
    3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life? Fierce makes me happier. I love the energy and positivity the girls bring to every class. It’s so motivational and I really enjoy starting my day with that. 
    4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout? Typically, working out gets really boring for me and I lose motivation easy but Fierce keeps it entertaining. All the girls have their unique way of training with their personalized playlists, Pilates moves and personalities. It makes me look forward to the next class! 
    5. Tell us a fun fact about you! I use to herd cows as a little kid when I would visit my parent’s property for the summer in Kosovo.  I also speak 2 languages.

  • ✨NEW YEAR, NEW FOCUS: #shareyourwhy✨

    For many years, too many years, I spent more time consumed with how I looked instead of how I felt. I was so wrapped up in food and exercise that I wasn’t aware of my energy. I needed to create space in my mind- just enough to gain some perspective. Just enough to realize I had the power within to shift my internal dialogue and could do so much more with the time and energy I was wasting! I could use that space in my brain to create. To dream!

    I dreamt of building a community around mindful and intense movement that was welcoming, non-judgmental, and not at all about what you look like when you walk in the door. I dreamt of creating a movement that would force you to drop into the moment like nothing else. A movement that has a level of intensity and challenge that forces you to look at how you communicate with yourself.

    Knowing that if you think you can’t – you probably can’t but – what if you allow yourself to lift yourself up? What if you said something positive to yourself? ABOUT yourself?What if you celebrate your strength? Not just in body, but in mind. If you can practice shifting your internal dialogue while being pushed to your physical limit – wouldn’t it be that much easier to shift your dialogue when life throws you curve balls?! A-HA! This is it. THIS is FierceMovement. THIS is my why. 

    It’s simple to say that my why behind creating Fierce45® and FierceMovement is “SelfLove” , but it has become so much more than that. It is a reflection of ME. This brand is my baby and my mirror; bringing me new successes and challenges each and every day – both on and off of the machine. 

    However, to this day the physical practice of FierceMovement never fails to shift my mind set – to make me FEEL good in my body and my mind and moreover in my spirit.  Plus, if you FEEL good – that radiates!!!! Your energy absolutely effects everyone around you. I am reminded of a quote my dear friend Jacki Carr shared with our team recently, “Please take responsibility for the energy you bring into this space.” – Dr Jill Bolte Taylor. Now I know everyone has bad days, sad days, or just plain off days – I know I do. But I know I NEVER regret taking a class and I know I will always feel better if I do. My hope is that my energy, my vulnerability, and my creativity SPARKS flames in others. 

    With that being said, as we move into 2019 we are making the BADASS student photo wall NO LONGER about how many classes you have taken – because it’s not about that – but about your WHY. We want YOU to #shareyourwhy. 

    Be vulnerable with me. With Fierce. If it’s too scary – that’s ok. Write on the back of your photo so only you know. Or perhaps you will inspire someone else by being bold, vulnerable, and real. It doesn’t have to be deep, but the deeper you go the more you will benefit….just saying 😉 

    With so much love, 
    Torrey

  • WHY YOU SHOULD DO FIERCE MOVEMENT®

    Fierce Movement® is tried and truth with the results. When we say it’s hard.every.time. we mean it. For all our new students, we wanted to give you a little inspiration from the experts, aka our coaches. For our current students, sometimes you just need a little extra motivation – don’t worry, we got you. 

    “I love this method because it’s mentally challenging – listening to queues and positioning for the entire class and trying to not think of the work your muscles are doing. Physically challenging – holding poses my body says “WHAT ARE YOU DOING” and seeing results instantly is a huge motivating factor for me. My pace running has improved and I take way less breaks going down the mountain than I did in the past.” – Monica 

    “I loved the results of classical Pilates, but still needed to find time for the cardio side of my workout.  And that is when I feel in love with this method of fitness and began in Dallas, TX in 2013.  This method achieves the long, lean (but also strong) muscles and builds in cardio to the super slow movement with no impact on my joints.  ALL IN 45 MINUTES!!  I have not found another workout that shows such amazing results, on one machine, in such a short amount of time.  And for all of these reasons, I love this method.” – Daphne 

    “I haven’t found anything else that I equally love to hate and hate to love.  Other than ice cream and pasta. And if I want to keep eating ice cream and pasta in mass quantities, I must continue getting my ass kicked by every Fierce45 coach and client! I also love this method because I am continuously challenged mentally and physically.” – Bettina 

    “RESULTS! And the endorphin high. I feel unstoppable!” – Angela
