Gym friends are the best!

Especially the ones who drag ya around!

Tim is such a hard worker. It’s been over 2 years since he started with us. Keep up the hard work Tim. Keep smiling it’s good for the soul and you have a GREAT smile.

I hope when you think sled pulls next time you smile a little!

Also I Hope you all have a trainer in your lives who cares about your health and doesn’t take like too seriously. We can create anything so let’s create fun in our wellness and fitness.

Calling all Moms (and Dads).

School has started and the first week is just about done.

We've already had a handful of Moms join and start taking better care of themselves, and it's amazing to see how powerful that has been for them, even after just a week to 10 days.

As parents we spend so much time and energy (and money too) taking care of our kids.

It's hard to extend that same amount of love to ourselves, but it makes such difference.

If you spend time thinking about having more energy and not feeling so worn out....
If you want clothes to fit better and feel stronger and more toned....

It is here. The start of the school year! Happy Dance time!

And if you are a parent like many of us at Formidable that means a little more schedule for your family and hopefully a little more time for you with the kids at school.

What are you going to do with the free time?

We'll tune in with Coach Katie our Founder to hear some wonderful, simple things you can do to start working and yourself, your health and ultimately your happiness.

And oh if you feel like not having to make this journey on your own come talk. We love helping people BE healthy and fit and happy.

Especially parents! DM us and let's talk.

Last night I didn’t want to…

I was tired…
My feet were tired….

However, I remembered who is watching me. Rogue was doing football stuff 12-840. I bet he was tired.

Rory was creating all day… I bet he was tired…

Reid worked all day and was off at football practice. I bet he was tired.

So Rory and I set a timer for 25 min. And we worked out.
We didn’t have a plan but we had the intention.

I reflected on me at 250lbs.
She was tired also.
She also didn’t see a path.

Today I see the path.

So instead of letting my self care take a day off (because after a day of caring for others that doesn’t actually feel better)

I got moving and we laughed, muscles worked and off to the house we went to cuddle and watch a movie.

Life is about balance.
Find your balance!

If you have a hardtime with that. That’s why I’m here and my team.

We are 1 day late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our founder, and leader Katie Adams!!!

Yesterday she turned 40 years old.

And for the last 14 years she has poured her soul, sweat, tears and love into making Formidable the place it is today.

Over that time she has impacted the lives of 100's of people here in our amazing community of Canby and beyond.

She truly has a gift and the passion for helping people find, and be the best versions of themselves.

She has a saying "I will believe in you until you believe in you". And it's true we've seen it play out time and time again and each experienced it on our own.

She see's the best version of people that we often don't see in ourselves, and then she reflects it back to us, so we may live into that version.

She creates miracles and the miraculous everywhere she goes, and never stops looking for ways to deepen the positive impact she can have on this world.

This September she will be heading to London to attend one of the top coaching schools in the world. We can't wait to see what level of service she brings back!

We love you Coach Katie!

Health (and happiness!) tip of the day + what classes look like at Formidable -- all found in the video.

Be outside more often, and be barefoot!

This might sound a little crazy, but bare (haha no pun intended) with me.

Our feet are extremely complex and EVERYTHING is upstream of them.

Cushioned shoes actively weaken our feet, and cramp our toes together. This causes not only foot pain but all kinds of upstream problems: knee pain, hip pain and back pain.

Start out with a little here and there. Walk to the mailbox barefoot. Or down the street and back.

It's good for our feet and if you're anything like me, it just makes me a little happier also!

This is what Andrew said 3 months into his journey here at Formidable. It's now been 18 months and he'll be the first to tell you how different his life is now.

Not just his body although he is down over 20 pounds of fat and up in muscle and is doing workouts and movements he wouldn't have dreamed of 2 years ago.

But more than anything if you talk to Andrew he'll tell you it's his mind, his outlook on life that has changed the most.

For him coming in just about everyday to smile, laugh, and move his body with his friends is his therapy.

It's his happy place, and it makes ALL aspects of his life better.

And he makes our lives and community better! Thanks Andrew, we are truly grateful to have you as a part of our Formidable Family. Keep up the amazing work!!

If being any of these things: happier, healthier and fitter sound good to you, you can come chat with us for free. No pressure to join. But I do promise you'll leave with more of a plan than when you came in.

What's one thing you can start doing today for your health AND happiness today?

It costs nothing and will improve just about all aspects of your health: physical, emotional and mental.

It's walking!

8,000-10,000 steps a day.

There's few things you could do consistently that will have as big an impact on your life as walking daily.

It --
* Improves cardiovascular health and lowers the risk of heart disease.
* Reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control.
* Supports healthy weight management through increased daily activity.
* Improves mood and helps reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
* Boosts brain health, memory, and cognitive function.
* Increases energy levels and improves sleep quality.
* Strengthens muscles, joints, and bones while improving balance and mobility.
* Lowers stress by reducing cortisol and promoting mental relaxation.
* Encourages social connection when walking with friends or family.
* Promotes longevity, with 7,000–10,000 daily steps linked to a lower risk of premature death.

From there the next step (pun intended) is strength training 3x a week.

It doesn't need to be intense (although it can be if you enjoy that). And it should match where you are at in your life currently.

Not sure where you should start with your strength training? That's what we're here for! DM us if you are ready to start making a plan.

Otherwise get outside (or on the treadmill) and start walking more!

Call us crazy... But we believe your fitness can and should be fun!

And that's how we make all our classes and experiences here at Formidable (as is clearly evident from this picture!).

That's Coach Trevor coming in from the left and Coach Riley front and center. With Coach Sandy and Coach Katie immediately behind.

We aim to make your workout hour like Recess used to be in school. The best part of the day.

We see too many who people make being health and fit a bigger thing than it needs to be.

It doesn't have to be something you dread or peel yourself out of bed or off the couch for, although yes sometimes that's what it takes.

But rest assured you will always leave feeling better.

So don't let those thoughts in your head; of being intimidated or scared to try something new or getting back into shape keep you on the couch.

We love helping people, and we are good at it!
