FitBody By Krista

Hey, Tribe!! Let’s welcome our newest trainer, Lauren! We are so excited that she is joining us! Let’s get to know her better: Fitness is such an important part of my life. As cliché as it may be, I believe wholeheartedly that movement is medicine. I am only 31 but I have had arthritis for years and keeping my body moving is what keeps me feeling strong and limber. Coupled with lots of sleep (I love my sleep!) and eating well (most of the time!), I rely on movement to fe...el my best physically and emotionally. If I feel MY best, I can inspire others to push past their barriers and feel like THEIR best selves too! One of my favorite parts about fitness is that there are so many different ways to get the body moving and it isn’t one size fits all. I have danced, run track, played tennis, completed a few Spartan races, done power and restorative yoga, weight lifted and taught high intensity cardio group fitness classes. While all are entirely different, what they have in common is that they challenge us and help us to become physically and mentally stronger than we were yesterday...which is what it’s all about! My favorite part about GROUP fitness is that we are all human...Some days, we feel amazing. Other days, it can be hard to find the energy to show up for yourself...and that's ok! Just simply knowing that you aren’t in it alone can be what makes or breaks your desire to push on and finish that workout- and have fun at the same time! I love to help people realize that working out doesn't have to feel like a chore and shouldn't be a punishment for the food we ate. Instead, let's view it as as a celebration of what our bodies can do and see how changing our mentality can change the experience! I am so excited to be joining the FitBody by Krista Tribe and am looking forward to helping others discover what they can do by inspiring them to reach their fitness goals! Some random non-fitness facts about me: I am a proud "crazy" cat mom. You can often find me singing or whistling. Slipper socks make me happier than they probably should. :-) Find her here @madauslyaboutcats, and look for her on the schedule and in the studio!!!

It’s time for some #fbbk Team Member Intros! This is Claudia F. (Yes, there are TWO Claudias @fitbodybykrista !!!) Claudia is a part of the biz management and social media team at FBBK- so although you won’t find her on the mic at class, you have probably emailed, DM’d, texted, or had a phone call with her! ... Claudia joined the team at FitBody in December of 2019. She goes wayyy back to elementary school with Krista. She grew up in Hopewell Jct. and moved to Brewster in 2017 with her now husband, Dylan after living in westchester for 10+ years. Claudia has an extensive background in dance, she started at the age of 5 and earned her BFA in dance from SUNY Brockport in 2005. She then went on to run a children’s gymnastics facility in Scarsdale, NY as the Program Director and then Gym Director for over 11 years. Claudia gave birth to her beautiful baby girl, Alessi, in July 2019, which is when she decided to make a career change and eventually made her way to FBBK. She is excited to be working at FitBody for so many reasons! It’s close to home and has finally made her feel like a part of the local community because of the amazing coaches and tribe members!

It’s time for a Member Spotlight!!! Here’s Cait! We are so excited to share some of her pics- including a great transformation! With hard work, and a new mindset, Cait has been able to maintain weight loss and get even stronger after her initial weight loss over two years ago! Thank you for being a part of the tribe, Cait! Read below and show her some love! ... I just had my daughter in 2016, being a newly single mom of two, on top of working full time and trying to balance life in general- the last thing I had time to worry about was myself. I remember seeing my friend @spartansonia at the gym, and asking her what she has been doing because she looked so amazing!! She told me about @kristaferrara_fitness and her classes. Then, in November 2017, I decided to check out the opening of @fitbodybykrista’s brand new space, knowing it was time to focus on ME. Little did I know that was just the beginning! Krista and all of the Fitbody coaches have helped me to gain not only knowledge about fitness-but also Nutrition (which I was missing), and most importantly a completely new mindset. I learned that in order to be the best me for others, I had to fill my own cup first. I feel so much more confident and I’ve met so many strong women who I now call friends along the way. I checked off so many goals not only physically but mentally. I have completed Krista’s Photoshoot challenge and 3 Spartan races with the Fitbody Team! I can’t wait for what’s next! We can’t wait to see what’s next for you, either! Keep up the great work, we are so happy for you and proud of you!! @ Putnam County, New York

Time for a member SPOTLIGHT We are so happy to be featuring Maria today! Read her story below and show her some I love working out at my favorite place-Fitbody by Krista! I have followed Krista around for a long time probably over 10 years. I enjoy working out and staying healthy. When I was in my teens and twenties I worked out and ran regularly. I could eat anything I wanted and not gain an oz. All that changed when I had my 1st child and gained 75 pounds. I ha...d a difficult time losing the weight. I felt out of shape. I told myself that I would never do that to myself again. It took me 1 year to lose the weight. I started to eat healthly and workout again. Then, last year my world suddenly changed. I was diagnosed with a vestibular dysfunction. I wasn’t able to workout and I gained weight. It was a long road back, but now I am able to workout again I see how valuable working out and eating healthy are. They go hand in hand. I’m maintaining my weight and keeping my vestibular area in check. I have come a long way since last year. I owe it to my Doctors, Krista and the Fitbody coaches for putting balance back in my life. Thank you You are an inspiration, @mammaria09 and your tribe is so proud of you!!! . . . . #momsofinsta #momsthatworkout #vestibulardysfunction #uppercervical #exerciseismedicine #exerciseistherapy #memberspotlight #brewsterny #carmelny #northsalem #beforeandafter #transformationtuesdays #sweatlife #thesweatlife #strongerthanall

It’s time for a member spotlight! We are happy to be featuring tribe member, Kathy this month! Read more about Kathy’s journey below! When I retired from teaching three years ago, everyone asked what I was going to do with all the extra time. Little did I know that I had more time when I was teaching than I do now. I was certain of one thing - continuing with a workout routine would be part of the plan. I have been physically active my entire life. My husband and I have h...iked in the Rockies with our children and have done miles of walking and hiking throughout Ireland every summer. I have also walked miles and miles with a very good friend over the course of the last twenty years. I met Krista quite a while ago. It was just after she started at that big box gym. My workout needed revamping and Krista helped me do just that. She taught me how to listen to my body, understand how far I could push myself, and know when to stop. That information has served me well to this day. When Krista and I first met she spoke of her dream to have her own gym. It has been wonderful to watch her achieve that goal. Not only has she achieved the goal, but she has made it through all of today’s challenges presented by the COVID lockdown. While the doors to the gym may have been shut, Krista made sure that her tribe was able to continue with their workouts online. She has surrounded herself with trainers who are supportive and welcoming and who are always ready to help you achieve your best. I am so happy to be a member of this gym. The women who workout are friendly, supportive and have become friends. Being able to work out live online with Krista and the other trainers has truly helped sustain me through this COVID period. The on-demand classes have been a blessing as I help my daughter with her four-month-old while she works from home. While working out at the gym is not an option for me right now, I look forward to seeing Krista and the rest of the Tribe soon. Thank you, Kathy for your inspiring words, for always keeping physical fitness as a part of your lifestyle and always finding a way to make it work! We appreciate you SO much!!

DEDICATION It takes time, effort, and resilience to be able to build yourself from the ground up. It takes sacrifice to get to the place where you want to be. It takes a ton of grit to be dedicated and committed to making your dreams come true. It takes a willingness from down deep within you. ... It takes determination, tough skin and consistency to do something so big and so bold that it could change your life. It takes true heart to keep going even when people question your decisions. Is it always easy? Not even close. Is it always possible? Not for all. Is dedication the only way to find out if it’s worth it? Absolutely!!! Stay dedicated to your WHY, tribe! #dedication #committment #yourwhy #tribe

It’s #tellustuesday! We care about you, #tribe! And we wanna know how you have been caring for yourselves lately! Drop it in the comments!! #selfcare... #tellus #empowerment See more
