Stuck With a Gym You Don’t Use? Here’s Your Real Exit Strategy

Have you ever joined a gym on a high note—New Year’s motivation, summer goals, maybe a free trial—only to find yourself ghosting the facility and still paying the bill? That’s not just you. It’s systemic. ⚖️ The LA Fitness Lawsuit: Why It’s So Hard to Cancel Last week, the Federal Trade Commission sued LA Fitness and its parent companies for deliberately making cancellations nearly impossible. Highlights from the complaint: And this isn’t a one-off—this is the kind of fine-print trap the FTC calls a “dark pattern.” 🏋️‍♀️ My Take: Use the Trial, Honor the Commitment I’ve done a one-week trial…

How to Drink Less Without Feeling Like You’re Missing Out

Let’s talk about drinking—not the college kind or the corporate happy hour kind. The “it’s been a long day, I deserve this” kind. Maybe it’s a glass of wine while making dinner. A cocktail after a long travel day. A craft beer after a “successful” workout (yes, I’ve done that). These aren’t benders. They’re rituals—and that’s exactly why they’re so sticky. Inspired by Vox’s fantastic Even Better Guide to Drinking Less by Allie Volpe (highly recommend subscribing), I’ve been reflecting on how to change the habit without losing the reward. Here’s what I learned—and what’s actually been working. 🔥 Real…

When it comes to boosting your energy levels, there are a plethora of options on the market. From classic favorites to new contenders, here’s a rundown of some of the best energy drinks available today, including Red Bull, Alani Nu, Bang, Ghost, and Celsius.

New Year’s Resolutions for People With Real Jobs

  – and sustain it.  If resolutions are not sustainable, then what IS sustainable? Changing your daily HABITS is a sustainable way to make lifelong differences. That is because you are working with what you are already doing every single day – making decisions. Every single habit we have is the result of making decisions. From the moment we wake up, we make decisions all day long. By the end of the day, we have made hundreds. And most of those decisions are subconscious habits we engage in without even thinking – but it still involves making a choice. A…

How Igniting Your Why Can Get You What You Want

“This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.”- Bertrand Russell, prelude to autobiography In my post about leaving a toxic relationship, I talked about a jumping-off point. There is a basic crossroads here – you either accept where you are at, or don’t. If you do accept where you are at, then you can keep things exactly the way they are. If you don’t accept where you are at, then decide to do something about it. A decision to commit to change, to transformation, and…

Are you in a toxic relationship?

The recent events surrounding the tragic death of Gabby Petito, and the trial of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, have been all over the news and social media. Much of the focus has been around the scandal and the drama surrounding these two attractive blonde women, who have captivated the public and the media for very different reasons. What conversations have missed is one glaring fact brought to light by these events – that over 70 percent of women experience abuse from their domestic partner, and one in three women in a DAY die.

Decision

Decide. Make a decision – that is the “ D” in DAO. A decision to commit – or recommit – to change, to transformation, and to a new way of life. Even if that’s after a New Year’s resolution that has gone up in smoke. We start our day with making decisions, and by the end of it we have made thousands. It’s those little decisions and habits throughout the day that will make or break your fitness goals in the long term.
