⚓️ COMMITTED WALL -500 CHECK-INS for KIMBERLEY SCHEEL! 🎉

Kimberley has officially earned her spot on the Committed Wall with 500 check-ins! 🙌

Kimberley joined us back in 2021, and over the years we’ve had the opportunity to watch her figure out what helps her stay active, motivated and connected to her fitness. From stretches of crushing the Committed Club, to nutrition challenges, coached programs and now finding a great balance between StrongHER and the flexibility of the Anchor Room those 500 check-ins have added up! 💙

And maybe that’s one of the best reminders that comes with a milestone like this: there’s no one “right” way to do fitness.

Sometimes success is building momentum. Sometimes it’s finding something that fits your life better. And sometimes it’s simply continuing to show up and keep moving forward.

500 check-ins means Kimberley has made that choice 500 times. 💪

Kimberley, we love seeing you find what works for you and continuing to make your health and fitness a priority. Keep building on that momentum! We can’t wait to see where the next 500 take you!
⚓ Welcome to the 500 Club!

🙌 If you’re ready to start working toward your first 500 check-ins, there’s no better time to start than now. 💪

⚓ WANT TO FEEL STRONGER, STEADIER & MORE CONFIDENT IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE?

You don’t need to already be “a gym person” to start.
Anchor Hour begins September 8th and is a welcoming, coach-led program for anyone who wants to keep moving, build strength, improve balance and mobility, and feel more confident inside a gym.

Maybe you’ve never stepped inside a gym before.
Maybe the machines look intimidating.
Maybe you’re not really sure what to do once you get here.
Or maybe you know staying strong and active now matters for the years ahead.

That’s exactly what Anchor Hour is for. ⚓
We’ll work through group-style circuit workouts, teaching you how to use different machines and equipment safely while building strength along the way.

The goal isn’t just to get you through that day’s workout.
We want you to build a repertoire of exercises and workouts you understand and can come back and do again and again. You’ll start to know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and how to put together an intentional workout.

Because walking into a gym shouldn’t mean spending an hour trying to look busy because you’re worried about looking foolish using something you don’t understand. We’re here to take that uncertainty away and make the transition into the gym feel easy.
No gym experience required. We’ll teach you. 🙌

💪 TUESDAY | 10:15AM — Strength + Circuit | 1 Hour
Build practical strength while learning our Anchor Room machines and equipment through coach-led circuit-style workouts.

🧘 FRIDAY | 10:15AM — Mobility + Balance | 45 Min
Improve mobility, flexibility, balance and stability to help you keep moving and feeling your best.
Your coach will provide guidance, options and modifications so you can work at your level and your pace.

⚓ $49 + tax / 4 weeks
Includes both coach-led classes each week.

➕ ANCHOR HOUR + | $99 + tax / 4 weeks
Includes both weekly classes PLUS Anchor Room access 5AM–10PM daily so you can come back and confidently practice what you’re learning on your own time.

📅 Starts September 8th

🔥 WEDNESDAY WINS 🔥

Christine Henneberry has been absolutely crushing it, and her latest InBody check-in gave us some incredible results to celebrate!

As an Anchor + member, Christine has a monthly InBody scan included with her membership, along with a review and check in with a coach.

And this is exactly why we love the InBody — progress is about so much more than the number on the scale. It allows us to see changes in muscle mass, body fat and overall body composition, giving us a much better picture of what all that hard work is actually doing.

And Christine’s hard work is SHOWING. 👏

In just 11 weeks since her June scan:

⬇️ 12.7 lbs
⬆️ +2.8 lbs of muscle 💪
⬇️ Body fat down 8.3%

And since her very first scan with us in March (only 5 short months ago):

⬇️ 26.7 lbs total
⬇️Body fat down 12.5%

Absolutely AMAZING 🙌

One of our favourite parts? At her earlier check-in, Christine had actually lost some muscle along with the weight. Since then, she’s added more strength work and our Engine Series classes — and has gained 2.8 lbs of muscle since June while continuing to lose body fat. THAT is progress. 💪

Building muscle isn’t just about getting stronger either. More muscle helps our bodies use more energy every day — another reason strength training is such an important part of improving body composition.

You’ll find Christine putting in the work on her own in the Anchor Room, pushing through Engine classes, or even getting a run in while pushing her youngest in the stroller. She finds a way to get it done — and it shows.

Christine, we are ecstatic to celebrate these results with you! What you’ve accomplished in just 11 weeks — and 5 months overall — is pretty amazing.❤️

Keep putting in the work. We can’t wait to see where it takes you next! 👏

⚓ COMMITTED WALL — 1,000 Check-ins for LISA⚓

Lisa has been part of Sou’Wester since the early days — so early that we’re pretty sure quite a few workouts happened before we had much of a check-in system. 😂 So 1,000 is likely a little overdue!

A longtime 6AMer, Lisa has spent years getting it done before the workday begins.

She’s had her share of injuries and setbacks along the way, but she continues to show up and find a way to move. She knows her body, knows when to modify, when to push and when it’s time to back off.

She’s not here to compete to lift the heaviest, she’s here to stay strong, move well and feel good doing it.

Lisa is also one of those familiar, friendly faces who makes a gym feel welcoming. She’s always willing to help a new member, offer some guidance or encourage the person beside her.

💙She’s been through a lot of chapters of Sou’Wester with us, and her loyalty and consistency over the years certainly haven’t gone unnoticed.

1,000 visits, a whole lot of 6AMs, and still going strong. ⚓ Congratulations Lisa!

We had so much fun in July that we couldn’t wait to do it again! 😍

The next Engine Challenge is officially set for Sunday, September 27th!

🍂 Cooler weather…
💪 New challenge…
🔥 Same amazing atmosphere!

And to everyone who blamed the July heat… 😉

No excuses this time!

Grab your partner, start training at our Engine Series Class, and get ready for another day of fun, fitness, and friendly competition.

More details coming soon… but trust us, you’re going to want this one on your calendar! ⚓💙

Tag your partner who you want to do this with!
