FAST Fitness Camp (FFC) is a program that teaches tweens about the not-so-obvious aspects of fitness that if trained regularly, can improve their performance in everyday life. 

Through my personal experience and working with many busy families, one thing stands out; upper elementary and middle school years can be challenging! Our tweens go through many changes during this time period including developmental, social, and emotional. That's exactly why I developed this camp with the middle school student in mind. 

During this camp, we’ll review strategies to be a well-rounded student, whether they play sports or not. Topics include general fitness (e.g. core, flexibility), how-to sessions, and how these lessons fit into everyday life. Additional topics include nutrition, stress management, rest, and recovery. We will have specific activities that touch on these areas.

Campers will complete an optional visioning exercise during the week. This is a reflective and interactive activity that provides a guide for students as they create their well-balanced vision board. In my experience, these combined activities help build confidence in campers during the camp session and beyond.

What are Fitness Circles?

Designed by fitness expert Valerie Merriweather, fitness circles create an environment for like-minded, busy women to come together to workout.  A variety of training methods and strategies are used to help you improve your fitness level, increase your confidence during your workouts, and address the roadblocks (e.g. mental, emotional) that have an impact on your long-term results.

What Happens at a Fitness Circle?

Participants are placed in groups based on shared interest, fitness levels, and overall goals. Each participant is given a questionnaire prior to attending the FC and this information is used for group placement and ongoing support.  Each group has a unique goal; for example, one group can have accountability as their number one goal and the other can have a life stage goal in mind (e.g. new mom workouts, busy mom programs).

How fit do I have to be to join a Fitness Circle?

This is a come-as-you-are group. There are no fitness requirements other than a willingness to work hard, pace yourself, and improve your fitness. A general questionnaire will be given to determine the best FC for you. Our goal is to make sure you are placed in a Fitness Circle that meets your needs.  

How Many Participants are in a fitness circle?

Groups range from 3-5 persons. The idea of the FC is to keep each group small to increase participation, improve overall fitness level, and allow participants to establish relationships.  

How Long is Each Fitness Circle program?

Fitness Circles meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 4 weeks for 45 minutes each session. The last 10 minutes are spent with an interactive discussion discussing topics like healthy lifestyle tips, nutrition tune-ups, and mindset coaching. We offer rolling enrollment so if you join after an FC starts you can continue until your session is complete.  

Where are Fitness Circles Held?

Fitness Circles are held at two Chapel Hill locations, indoor and outdoor.  You will have the choice of either location based on your needs and group request. Note, due to weather conditions some groups will be held indoors only.

How do I register for a Fitness Circle?

Sign-up here.  Once we receive your information we will contact you to match you with a group, select your training location, and review program costs. 

Need a mid-year boost when it comes to your health and fitness? Oftentimes, it's the not-so-obvious changes in your life that make all the difference. I work with hundreds of women that tell me that some of their greatest frustrations stem from lifestyle issues.

In response to these and other concerns around health and fitness, I'm launching my 2017 Summer Lifestyle Challenge. This challenge is not just about nutrition and exercise although that will be part of it. Rather, it's a holistic approach to what you do inside and outside the gym that makes all the difference. 

Benefits of the 2017 Summer Lifestyle Challenge

1. You will be more mindful of everyday things that help or hinder your overall wellness.

2. You will make subtle tweaks in your daily schedule that help you adopt new habits along with the cues and rewards to make you even more successful.

3. After all the new year resolutions have been put to the wayside, you'll have some mid-year accountability to jumpstart your progress. 

What you get during the 2017 Summer Lifestyle Challenge

1. An email every day from yours truly providing you with a practical, do-able lifestyle tip.

2. Access to my fitness videos with exercise demonstrations and nutrition support.

3. A weekly, private FB Live group to answer your questions.

4. A special gift for folks who complete all the assignments during the challenge.

5. Special priority registration for future programs.
