TransFit Closed This Week In Response to COVID-19

Dear TransFit Family,


We are currently in the midst of a historical event! As we have seen, the Coronavirus (COVID-19), has now been formally described as a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization. 

At TransFit, your whole-body health and wellness is our top priority.  After reviewing all of the current CDC guidelines, we have made the difficult decision to close TransFit this week 3/16/20- 3/22/20.

 We will adjust all-access passes and extend all monthly sessions so that we can continue your transformation.

We will have workout videos and meal plans on the website for you. We will update you during the week as to when TransFit will reopen, but please reach out to Caroline or our trainers with any questions or concerns.

We are here to serve you and will be praying for you and your family during this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Do Not Be Discouraged, Have Hope and Trust in God!

If you feel like you are struggling today, we’ve got ways to help you feel alive:

1. Get physical! Numerous studies have shown that exercise boosts mood – so much so that some doctors are advised to prescribe exercise for mild depression instead of medicines. 

2. Dance! It’s as easy as turning on Taylor Swift and breaking it down in the privacy of your bedroom. Or turn up the music in your car and pretend like you have tinted windows! Dancing cures the blues in many ways!

3. Yoga or Pilates! Yoga and Pilates are surprisingly rejuvenating! They challenge the body while also communicating with the muscles that they can relax. There is an amazing sense of relaxation that is experienced during the stretching portion, a portion of the class dedicated to silence, reflection, and time to rest your mind and body. You will be surprised how great you feel after.4. Get outside! If you have the chance and the ability to spend time outside in the fresh air, nothing beats the wind in your face! Go hiking; take your run off the treadmill and onto the trails and sidewalks. Stop ignoring your sweet puppy whining at the door and take her or him on a walk! Play tag or hide-and-seek with your kids outside. There are endless ways to get fresh air. Pick one of them, and experience your spirit brighten.

💥How to Maximize Your Health in March⚡️

Sweet friends,

Happy March! Who doesn’t love a new month AND the start of Spring!?

This month we are challenging you to press PLAY on your health and fitness—maximizing your body, mind, and spirit. Everyone is busy, life is always moving at a fast pace, and even though it may feel like things will slow down, every season is physically and mentally demanding. We believe if you stop pressing pause and making excuses, you will be able to see progress, experience change, and live a healthier lifestyle altogether! Yes, I know this might seem like a daunting task, but give it a try and experience the transformation.

5 Ways to Maximize Your Weight-loss in March

1. Exercise

Take time out of your day to move the body. This could mean going for a walk, taking a strength-training class, doing yoga, or going for a run. Exercising relieves stress and allows your mind to re-focus so that you can attack the day with new energy and a positive spirit. When we get our heart rate up and start to sweat, our endorphins are released which boosts our mood. 30-minutes is all you need to reap the benefits of exercise.

2. Nutrition


Nutrition is a key factor in your daily energy levels and mental health. When we fill our bodies with nutrient-dense foods, such as lean meats, fish, veggies, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats (nuts, seeds, avocados, etc.), our bodies have the proper fuel to help us attack each day at full strength. Proper nutrition can also help you reach your goals faster and transform your body composition. It has been reported that nutrition leading factor in physical change. Not only does it sharpen your mind, but it makes you feel good!

3. Rest and Recovery

While exercising should be a priority in our daily routine, we also have to give our body a chance to rest and recover properly. This may come in the form of active recovery such as going for a long, slow walk or taking a yoga class. Another way for your body to fully recover is to get a healthy 7-9 hours of sleep each night. This allows your body to reset and be renewed.

4. Quality Time and Community


According to research, quality time is the most common “love language” for both men and women. When we spend time with people whom we care about, we are able to connect with them and deepen our relationships. This is a great way to relieve stress and feel filled. Surrounding ourselves with a tight community propels us towards our goals as we encourage and uplift each other.

 5. Praise


Just like in your journey to a whole-body transformation, it takes time for our bodies and minds to adjust. Changes don't happen overnight. Extend grace, compassion, love, and patience to yourself and others. We all need affirmation and encouragement in our lives. Tell someone, “Great job!” or “I am so proud of you!”. Show them how much you care for them and affirm their efforts every single day!
