Now, How Much was that Manicure?
Why is it that we don’t blink an eye when spending our money on manicures, highlights, spray-tans, massages, brow waxes, chiropractors, doctor’s visits, and prescriptions, but we suddenly become super cheap when it comes to paying for exercise? Exercise, mind you, that could SAVE us from the time and money spent on those co-pays, prescriptions and chiropractor visits. Exercise that makes us look “less like a potato” (as one of my clients puts it) and does so much more for our appearance than that $45 that we spend on the tips of our fingers.

I trained with Rebecca in her Reboot classes for 2 years before having to put training on hold for medical reasons. I always thought training was so boring. But not with Rebecca!! She was so creative, both at working the same muscle groups and mixing it up, through varying exercises that I nev…
Mrs. Rebecca is the best P.E. teacher ever! We always have fun, learn something new, and exercise HARD!

The kids Running Club has been an awesome thing for my son. The days he goes to club are the best days of our weeks. He is more relaxed and less stressed, we have little to no conflicts over chores or homework, and he seems to sleep better and start the next day better. I would never be able to moti…
