Hi Friends!

 

The idea of Sweat & Sip came about because I'm on my own fitness journey. Full disclosure, I used to HATE working out. It felt like something I had to check off my list and I didn't like finding time to fit it into my day. I've gone through season after season of failed workout programs and it bummed me out. (Can anyone relate?) ...until, during quarantine in 2020 something magical began.

 

My friend (Leah Stuckwisch - now a big part of Sweat & Sip!) became my workout partner and we would workout to youtube videos and turn up the music LOUD to release the crazy stress of the world. I realized working out could actually...be...FUN! I became curious about different avenues of fitness, eventually leading me to re-discover yoga, running, and other boutique fitness studios. Those 45-60 minutes of working out to loud music -- because I believe music truly brings the energy and directs the mood -- became some of my FAVORITE parts of the day!

 

It is with this sense of curiosity of all things fitness, and especially a desire to connect with others as I learn and challenge myself, I am creating this series of pop-up fitness events called Sweat & Sip. We'll experience different group fitness activities together and then connect over a drink. I can't wait to enjoy this with you...both friends old and new!

​

Thanks for joining me!
