Having knee pain while you squat doesn’t necessarily mean you have to avoid squats altogether.

Quite the contrary, finding accessible ways to load the squat may be your path to gradually integrating how to squat with less pain.

Of course, some cases require treatment from a physical therapist or a medical pro. So please consult your care team to explore your best options 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

☀️🌊 Last Sunday we met up on a sunny day along the water for a Rad Fit BBQ and hangout! 💕 Thank you to everyone who came out! We saw familiar & new faces, we had family members and many helping hands…it was beautiful to be in community and enjoy the afternoon together.

We are so grateful to Blare for planning & organizing the day and to her parents for helping out & joining us 🥲🩷. A big thank you to everyone who supported with the cooking & those brought something to share. 😋 It was a nourishing way in so many ways! It is such a gift for us to be able to come together for connection, joy, to share food, and to nourish our hearts in these times. Thanks for being part of our community these last 8+ years, we love y’all! 🙌🏽🫶🏾🙌🏿 by @resilient_patterns

🔥💕 Blare is bringing a body building class with intention, support & strength…get ready! Starting June 29th we’re making Grounded Gains! 🙌🏽🫶🏾🫱🏿‍🫲🏽

Grounded Gains with Blare
🙌🏿 Mondays • Back & Bi’s
🙌🏽 Wednesdays • Chest & Tri’s
🙌🏾 Fridays • Legs (& thighhhs)
8AM - 9AM 📍 @RadicallyFitOakland

This muscle development class uses hypertrophy-based training techniques— muscle isolation, breath work, and intentional tempo—to build strength while fostering a deeper connection with your body. 💪🏿💪🏾💦 Movement is approached as a form of embodied awareness, inviting participants to notice sensation, effort, and presence throughout each exercise.😅🥰😮‍💨

💥🤛🏽🤛🏿🤛🏾 This class discards the traditional focus on diet, weight loss, and appearance-based goals, and instead treats movement as an opportunity for ✨awareness, 🪷embodiment, and 🌈 self-discovery.

📣 To address the fatphobia often embedded in fitness culture, participants also receive access to an aftercare 💕 container of curated media, 📚 readings, and conversations that encourage reflection, learning, and body liberation.

Get ready to sweat and make gains with muscles & community!

🫶🏾 Masks are required for our classes & we always have surgical & KN95s free & available at our front doors. by @resilient_patterns
