There are multiple reasons why people join a gym – for weight loss, to keep fit, to tone up, to improve mental health, or maybe for an upcoming challenge. For all those reasons, there are an equal amount of reasons people quit the gym – lack of time, lack of confidence, the gym being busy, childcare, and intimidation.
Despite the reasons, most would agree that exercise is a central part of creating a healthy lifestyle, and when done consistently, exercise can benefit you as you age.
With holidays now on the horizon, many have visions of the little black dress, losing weight, getting fit, and feeling energized.
“Feeling great about yourself – inside and out – is the best Christmas gift you can give yourself,” says LaTaunya Witherspoon, owner of Spoonfed Training in Renton. “People are busy with so many commitments. We try to tailor-make our programs to suit everyone’s lifestyle. We make it easier for clients to prioritize exercise.”
When LaTaunya first started Spoonfed, she recognized why people stopped going to the gym. With those things in mind, she created a safe, welcoming space where men and women of all ages can feel comfortable building a healthy lifestyle.
“A 30-Day Challenge is a proven strategy for implementing new healthy habits in life,” says LaTaunya Witherspoon, of Spoonfed Training
“My goal – and that of our trainers – is to create a family-oriented space where everyone feels important,” says LaTaunya. “We work hard to deliver creative workouts. I focus on training clients to train themselves and custom-design workouts based on their needs.”
Spoonfed Training offers a holistic approach to capturing a long-term healthy lifestyle with healthy eating tips and workout routines. Trainers at Spoonfed are experienced professionals who take the time to focus on individual goals.
“Our dedicated trainers each have specific strengths allowing us to match talents with needs. We are all dedicated to helping people with their health and fitness journey,” says LaTaunya.
Their upcoming 30-day Challenge encompasses these goals and is a perfect opportunity to start where you are in your fitness journey.
“The 30-day Challenge is a great way to get started, to revitalize your fitness routine, to advance to the next level, or just have fun with your fitness regime,” says LaTaunya.
The 30-day Challenge starts Jan. 2 and runs until Jan. 31. It focuses on weight loss and feeling great throughout the holidays, beginning the New Year with positive mental energy.
“The program offers a workout routine, sample menu suggestions, and classes can be virtual or in-person,” says LaTaunya. By offering her Bounce Aerobic and Personal Training classes virtually, LaTaunya has seen clients from all over the country and worldwide join the Challenge. “We meet people where they are at.”
The Challenge costs $20, and the winner receives the total collected. Last year, there were 50 participants, and the winner took home $1,000. A nice chunk of change to pay off those Christmas bills or treat yourself to a New Year’s adventure.
“A 30-Day Challenge is a proven strategy for implementing new healthy habits in life,” says LaTaunya. “It’s a great way to try new things, keep life variety high and undertake new challenges without putting too much pressure on yourself. If you’ve never done any 30-Day Challenge, you absolutely have to try this one. You must know the extraordinary feeling of being proud of yourself on the last day. You might even stick to new behavioral patterns; who knows what comes next.”
