Oh Hi 👋🏾 41 years young ... may not have those abs I proudly sported in my early 30s, but I'm balancing on my hip replacement side with a 25lb weight over my head smiling and finding balance through chaos in EVERY sense of the word ... soooooo there's THAT.
Happy Thursday friends. You are seen, appreciated and love. Wishing you all peace and health!

2025 put me THROUGH IT - from starting off the year with a nasty virus, some passings, taking a nasty fall down the stairs that could have ended my life if I fell differently onto concrete stairs, to the end of friendships of people I realized didn't f*ck with me 100 grand, to leaving an extremely toxic gym I was teaching at (not everyone is fit for managerial positions), to a 45 day ordeal with sciatica and a cancer scare ... even typing all that was triggering.
But I survived it. It was also filled with laughter, newly built friendships and reinforced relationships with my family + my guy. I traveled, I ate well + good, I moved my body (even through pain), I PASSED ALL MY CLASSES IN SCHOOL THIS YEAR ... and I turned 40!
Thank you God for reminding me that YOU carry me always and have never forsaken me.
Thank you body, for standing ten toes down (literally and figuratively) at the end of it. YOU AND I GOT SOME MILES ON THIS THANG, AND WE GON' KEEP ON TRUCKING.
Thank you to the amazing people in my life who never left my side.
Thank you to my guardian angels, on this side and beyond.
And thank you to my Spirit, for never breaking (although we bent like a MUHFUGGA - no shame in that!!!)
2025 ... I end you with strength, courage and wisdom.
2026 ... I am open and ready.
To my beloved - a love letter from me ❤️ This has been a challenging year for me on so many levels, but seeing you guys push through this year and reach new goals inspired me to continue showing up for myself - and more so, for YOU. 💪🏾
Onward to 2026!
Let me know which classes of mine at B*KLYN have been your favorite this year!
✨️ TRANSPARENCY POST ✨️
I used to think that as a fitness professional, we had to hide whenever we experience our own ailments and injuries like they aren't supposed to happen. And then I realize how stupid that is, given that we use our bodies several times a day. And then, as you age, stupid sh*t (like injuring yourself bending over in the shower to shave your leg) just HAPPENS.
I've been transparent about dealing with sciatica this past month. It has been BRUTAL. Returning back to work when you're not 100% (because you have to make a living and this is a COSTLY injury) has been humbling. Not being able to move my body the way I am accustomed to SUCKS. But a shining light has been how compassionate my students/members have been to me. Thank you for not judging me for demo-ing with smaller weights, for not riding in Spin, and for needing to sit periodically. You've given me kind words, reminding me to still adhere to my doctor's orders when my adrenaline kicks in and I want to do more as I should. You have all been the shining light along travelling this tunnel.
I know this is temporary and that my body will heal. Me and this 40 year old body have been through some thangs together and we'll rebound better than ever - and with more knowledge on how to accommodate injuries albeit.
Hope you all have a great Wednesay ❤️ MRI today. The end is near!!

Your girl's life is a REAL balancing act right now - mostly good but VERY BUSY! One thing at a time and focusing on the bigger picture.
Staying far from timid, making a ton of moves that my heart is in, and living the phrase .... 😉
Can't wait to share what's up next!

Oh hey 👋🏾 Obligatory-Sign-Of-Life post for the Static Feed (I'm more of a Stories gal). Also- I WISH I was trying to be cool, buuuuut I was rushing this morning and left my glasses at home .... so had to teach all of my classes in my prescription shades. And now my head hurts trying to see in dark rooms through dark shades! Just in case anyone cares how my day is going.🙃
But I look cute though 💅🏾
Sup yall? Tell me something good 😉

This is for them (ALMOST - 11 Days!) 40 somethings.
Raise a glass and laugh like a MUHFUGGA 😉
Taught my last class before leaving for 2 weeks on my birthday trip (as I celebrate the 15th anniversary of my 25th year 🥳) and I was surprised with a champagne toast! I even encouraged the class to ride with me for a 40 second sprint and they all did it with me , even the newbies 😭! This is the one job that I've had that always made me feel special on my birthday, even when we were outdoors!
Going into my 4th Decade with my health (and the ability to influence others to pursue theirs) is the greatest gift.
(PSST... it's on the 21st! ♒️)
And B*KLYN fam - see yall for Power Hour on the 31st!

Oh Hi 👋🏾 Mandatory Static Feed Post since I haven't posted anything on this side of IG since September and don't want followers to think I'm inactive (PSST- I'm more of a "Stories" girlie!) How's everyone doing? Anything good going on? What type of workout did you do this morning? Are you coming to sweat with me before the year is out? Let's rap in the comments!

Is even a thing still (my elderly millennial ass is out of touch!) If not, I'm bringing it back to celebrate the lovely Wanjiru! Yesterday marked her 40th Ride at and she chose to cycle strong into this major achievement in my BEYONCE: Cowboy Carter vs Remaissance ride! Her energy was always on high the minute she stepped in the B*K Deck and it shined brighter than her fears. Coming into a fitness space isn't easy, but deciding you're going to do it consistently is even harder and YOU'RE DOING IT! I got into this business to help folks of all colors, creeds, shapes and identities feel like they belong in fitness spaces- especially those who look like me. Thank you Wanjiru for entrusting us to give you the support to take up space to live your strongest life! We love you and cannot wait to celebrate your next 40 rides before your milestone 4-0 birthday in November!
If you're a B*KLYN staffer or member seeing this post, please share some love for and encouragement as she rides long to 80 and more rides (and strength classes!!)
