Although this pandemic has been very scary, and depressing- it has also been a blessing in ways.
As a family, we got to connect in a whole new, Brady bunch kind of way.... dinners at home every night, spending quality time that we don’t get as we hustle through the rat race of life!!!
As far as CBC goes, I’m extremely sad that we do t get to connect with our clients in person, no hands on corrections, not adjustments, no massages. 😢.
But, on the flip side- we get to RE-connect with clients that have moved away. They get to be our client again, online.
This is something that I am super stoked about!!!
As I think of the future of CBC, I know we must continue online- even when/if we get back into the studios! We have been missing the opportunity to “touch” people that aren’t in our direct vicinity. We had a roof that held us in one spot- now there is no roof- we can expand and connect across the state, across the country, maybe all over the world! That’s amazing when you think about it!!
Fear will not hold us back.
We are flipping how we look at things.
Happy 4th of July!
Growing up, I loved everything about the 4th of July! I loved the weather, the cookouts, the fireworks, the friends!
It meant my birthday was right around the corner and when you are a kid- that’s never a bad thing.
Although this 4th looks very different for us-
Virtual Fireworks?!?! What the????
However you are celebrating today,
I hope you find a way to enjoy it- I hope you find a way to remember what we are celebrating. Our Independence.
In no way do I want this post to turn into something political, I will take it down.
We will have one virtual barre class at 9:00am, I hope to see YOU there!!

So, here we sit, waiting on the fate of our future. We’ve been closed for 97 days... not paralyzed but severely disabled. We’ve been trying to make the most of the situation- offering virtual classes, more variety, express classes times we wouldn’t get in the studio. I don’t mind all that.
The hard part is- not being WITH our community.
And WAITING!
Waiting, getting ready, paying expedited shipping to get cleaning supplies, scrambling to get processes in place, trying to get meetings scheduled to train the staff that are willing to come back IF we reopen- all to find out- NOPE, not yet. So, we wait.
Today, that day comes again- COULD WE reopen? What will be the new rules and guidelines? Will guests have to exercise in masks? Is that safe? Can guests use the bathroom? Who will be there to clean it if we are forced to run at such a low capacity?
DOES any of this make sense?
Well, we can’t worry about what we don’t know-
SO, once again, we sit and WAIT.
Phase 3?

Doing something perfect twice a week is not nearly as effective as doing YOUR BEST 5-6 times a week.
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had people tell me they can’t do barre because they aren’t good at it yet.... they want to wait to come until they get better..... HUH?
Like they are going to practice at home, with no cues, no feedback, no accountability and get better?!?!
No. That will never work.
1. You don’t need any experience to take barre- we will meet you where you are and talk you through it the whole way
2. WHEN you show up, and you try and you work hard (to your ability) with consistency, you will see your fitness level, your body awareness and your form improve drastically!
3. Just SHOW UP. Do the work. Be consistent. See change. Amen.
We still have online classes every day until the gov’t allows us to open again. Want to join us? DM me. XO, Amity
