Almost a week since Hyrox Boston, and five finish lines across four races later, a year of training for this sport comes to a close. (for now??)

Training is my solitude. It quiets my mind and brings some incredible people into my life. This past year taught me to stop looking for a way out of the hard parts. Sit with discomfort.

Here’s to a new era of training. But this one will always have my heart.

❤️HOME TURF - HYROX PRO DOUBLES BOSTON❤️

This was my first-ever doubles race, and I wanted to go straight to PRO. I remember when I bought the tickets, Open wasn’t even in my brain. After 4 open solos, I knew my body could handle the demands of PRO, especially having a partner.

I can honestly say I had FUN out there. I had the best fkn partner in the world @juliannabanda who carried me at the beginning, and then we got to have a blast TOGETHER after the first few stations were done.

None of this would be possible without @runwithurheart 🫶

At 34, I thought maybe I would just sit in the Open level forever, and Amy has shown me that I’m capable of so much more. We talked about it a lot this weekend - it’s not even that PRO requires a certain athletic ability…it requires a certain mindset. If you have the drive, you can do it.

I can’t imagine settling for average in anything I do.
I WANT to push myself.
I WANT to challenge my mind to show myself what I’m capable of.

This was that race for me.

And THANK YOUUUU @backyard.bos for introducing me to the best partner who has become a great friend. And for creating a space with some of the best people who are all a little psycho about HYROX. I love it here 🤪🫰

🎽The fall season isn’t over yetttt - one more Open solo in Tampa in 2 weeks!

Then we prep the body for PRO Solo this winter 👀

ATHLETES CLUB

@breathefirststudio @battistabootcamp

The energy is the difference.

Where strength crosses over with conditioning & speed. In a room filled with a like-minded community looking to push limits, run through walls, and encourage one another all the way through.

The space has a conductive ripple to it when the music bumps and the drive & energy everyone pours into each working block.

That’s what we’re building with Athletes Club; a place to challenge yourself, be coached, and genuinely enjoy the process.

And who knows, you might find your next training partner along the way!

Next club meeting - Friday 10/2 @ 6:30pm

HYROX PRO DOUBLES SIM ✅

Just a couple of gals who were excited to get to the gym at 7am on a Saturday and rip a sim 🤪

Shoutout to my coach @runwithurheart for giving us this today as a little tune-up to see where we’re at ahead of Pro Doubles Boston in 7 weeks.

We pushed each other to the MAX today, had so much fun just seeing what we were capable of, and what we wanna tweak to make things even sharper.

Grateful for a partner like @juliannabanda who said yes to doing this with me! 👯‍♀️

Grateful to @backyard.bos for bringing us together, @keeping.up.with.kerrie for recommending us as partners and being a bomb ass instructor, and @drblotempio for pushing us in class 🫶

We went to brunch after to celebrate and then got sappy af when we had to leave each other LMAO.

Hearts full of gratitude that we GET to do this!

💨💨PRO DOUBLES BOSTON T-7 WEEKSSSS!

My love language? Quality time…doing HYROX workouts that make me question how sick it is that I do this for fun 😂

We had a timeeee today 🥂💅🏻

My pro doubles partner @juliannabanda is a beast & if your instructor isn’t hyping you up like @keeping.up.with.kerrie does, then find a new instructor 🤪

Love my little workout fam!!! 🫶

I’m training for 3 HYROX races this fall - all in a span of under 2 months.

My girl @juliannabanda and I are doing PRO Doubles in Boston together, and we’re prepping our bodies to:

💎Push 335lbs 💎Pull 227lbs 💎Hold 53lb kettlebells in each hand for 200m of farmers carries 💎Carry a 44lb sandbag on our backs for 100m of lunges 💎Do 100 wall balls with a 13lb ball

…and some other crazy sh*t in this race, but you get the point lol.

A lot of people would be terrified to do this. Let alone do a HYROX race 3 times in under 2 months.

But when I signed up for all 3? “I can’t do this” didn’t even cross my mind.

I said: why not me.

👇What you need to understand about me: I don’t sit on my dreams. I don’t wait until I feel ready, until the timing’s perfect, until I’ve got it all figured out.

FK THAT.

I decide I want something, and then I go do it. Every. Single. Time.

I don’t half-ass a single goal I have.
I don’t hand out excuses about why I can’t.
That word isn’t in my vocabulary…and it’s not in the vocabulary of anyone I surround myself with.

The person who I mentor is the SAME person.

The coaches in my world are the ones already doing this in the gym. Already showing up for the run on the day they feel like SH*T. Already showing up at 5am when nobody’s watching. Already living the “why not me” in their training.

I don’t work with people looking for easy. I don’t work with people who want to be talked out of the hard thing.

I work with the ones who run straight at it - in the gym AND in their business.

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it takes time. Yes, it takes patience.

But if you want it bad enough, you go get it. No excuses. No waiting. No “why I can’t.”

Why NOT you? ✌️
