New Monthly Challenges Coming to Heirloom
Why does Heirloom want to offer challenges? Challenges can help us encourage engagement and consistency with you and your fitness. And that’s all we really want to do. Not only engagement between Team Heirloom and our membership. But between members, and with people otherwise engaged with our community … but not quite yet a member. […]
Heirloom’s Kid in Adult Classes Policy
You know we love the families! It is one of all of our favorite parts about Heirloom. That at any given moment after class you might find yourself in the middle of a dodge ball game. Or a race up and down the gym. Or watching a kid do a rope climb. All of that […]
Why even “test your fitness” during the CrossFit Open?
Written in March 2021 Are you trying to make a career out of fitness and win the title of Fittest on Earth? No? Good. Me either. So why even bother with this thing called the CrossFit Open that is an online, worldwide “test of fitness”? Because where else, as an adult, do we get to […]
Thinking Back Two Years
It’s Sunday evening, the Patriots are already down two touchdowns to the Dolphins barely more than halfway through the first quarter, so I need a distraction. 🙂 Last night was the Annual Team Heirloom Dinner and I had SO MUCH FUN! Our first team dinner was here, at the house. I cooked and said, “This […]
The Significance of the CrossFit Open
You know, today this all got very real. Which is weird to say since we’re just over one year into this thing called Heirloom. A year where we opened, and then closed, and then you all learned Zoom and then quickly learned which rooms of your house were NOT the best places to workout. You […]
Fit-Shamed
I was fit-shamed. And I lived to talk about it. I recently attended an event with some former co-workers, people who knew me as a new mom, trying to figure out the whole work-life balance thing, which BTW, I’m still trying to figure out. One former colleague walked up to me, gave me a big […]
How do you know if you don’t try?
We hear it time and time again: If we want change, we have to put forth the effort. That nothing changes or happens without our willingness to work at it and work for it. And how can we expect to change if we don’t try new things? After all, isn’t that how change occurs? By doing […]
New Year’s Resolutions
Hi, All! It’s Sue here. So I’m not really a fan of New Year’s resolutions. We’re now in the 3rd week of the new year, and by now, most resolutions have been abandoned and/or forgotten. Are you still going strong, or are you one of the 80% of people who don’t achieve their resolutions? Does […]
Why is Joining a Gym SO Hard?
I mean, if you’re a guy, you’re supposed to at least be stronger than all of the girls, right? And, if you’re a girl, you’re supposed to look cute while figuring out how to snatch a barbell. Whatever that means. Any chance these are similar to your preconceived notions about what others’ expectations are going […]
Are We Rising the Tides?
In November, I attended a continuing education coaching course, and it basically showed the difference in the top 1% of coaches versus the everyday. And the everyday coach is not a terrible coach. The terrible coaches are a different story. But everyday coaches do their job. Some might even do it well. I would actually […]
