A NEW MOVEMENT POWERED BY OUR MEMBERS

UNCATEGORIZED

We all have something we’re striving for. Whether you’re seeking a better life balance or wanting to achieve a higher level of fitness, Movati Athletic is all about helping people pursue and reach their personal goals.

Of course, it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process. It’s a journey. And while it can be a challenge, as long as you keep moving forward, you’ll get there. At Movati Athletic, our mission is to be there every step of the way to help guide, support and encourage you.

In celebration of this, we have started a new campaign featuring actual club members and staff. They represent various journeys of fitness and well-being. Our goal with this campaign, and everything else we do, is to help empower our members – to provide all the best possible resources that enable them to stay focused and committed to their health and fitness goals.

From a busy working mom trying to find a healthy balance in her hectic life to an aspiring marathon runner training to be his or her best, our new campaign highlights how Movati Athletic offers the amenities, support and environment that can make one’s fitness journey not only attainable, but enjoyable and rewarding along the way. After all, fitness should feel good!

This campaign is driven by stories of empowerment and personal wellbeing. Highlighting actual members, the campaigns objective is to create a movement to become healthier and happier. Social engagement will play a major role in creating this “movement”, by using the hashtag #THATSMYMOVATI on social media you will be able to connect as a community and share your individual fitness journey. It’s a great way to help inspire others.

Ultimately, the more people that join in, the healthier and happier we’ll all be. Share your journey by using #THATSMYMOVATI

MEMBERSTORY

My client, Olga, is the epitome of the phrase “you are never to late to start” at the youthful age of 90 years old. We’ve only been training for a short while, but in that time, she’s more than impressed me with her enthusiasm and energy. She contacted me shortly after her birthday in March as she wanted to do some personal training, she had done the same thing 10 years earlier as a treat when she turned 80, and wanted to repeat the process for her 90th.

Olga takes a shuttle to the North Club from the retirement community she lives in to attend our sessions together. My time with Olga is full of laughs and stories of her interesting past. She and her husband (who sadly passed away a few years ago) and their out-door adventures: camping, kayaking, hiking, biking, remind me of the things I enjoy doing and give me hope and encouragement that I myself will be living life to the max, just like she does.

I often tell her I want to be just like her when I grow up, and then she gives me a wink, a smile and says she hasn’t yet grown up herself. Just what I wanted to hear.

MEMBERSTORY

My journey began one day when my little boy, Connor, said to me, “Mommy why is your belly so big and mine is flat?” I don’t know why, but it was at that moment I decided to do something about “my belly.”

I was fat! The biggest I had ever been in my life. This is where I met Maisha Barron, the person who has helped me get my life back. When I first started my sessions with Maisha, I can only say it was hard. I didn’t even make it through my first one hour session because I wanted to be sick! Maisha never let me quit and told me it was okay; this was all going to be worth it. She was very patient yet persistent to keep going. There were some days I was tearful with how much I had let myself go and wondering if I was going to achieve what I set out to do, and other times where I hugged her and did high fives because of an achievement that day. She also me about nutrition and that food was my fuel, not my enjoyment. This was the first time someone had been able to explain to me how I should look at eating and it felt like something I could commit to. I wanted to change and I was ready.

Fast forward and now, my children can barely keep up with me. I don’t need to nap on the weekends anymore and I wake up ready to go for the day. My husband has his wife back! He looks at me the way he did when we were teenagers and our marriage is thriving! I can’t believe the change I have achieved. I was wearing a size 18/16 and weighed 205 lbs! I have lost 38 pounds and finally can fit into a size 11/12. I sometimes look in the mirror and can’t believe that this is me I am looking at!

My journey is not nearly finished, but I do take the time to brag to everyone how my son now says to me, “Mommy, let me see your guns!!” It feels awesome!!

Feel Healthy

EXPERIENCE

Our Movati Athletic team is on hand to do whatever it takes to set you on a sustainable path toward well-being. This means listening to you and your body to develop an individual fitness plan that is going to work. And that means focusing on more than just your fitness. It means looking at ways to help you improve your nutrition, your work/life balance and reduce any stress that may be hindering your overall health. We’re much more than just a place to get sweaty. We want you to feel healthy.

Feel Comfortable

EXPERIENCE

This has been part of our philosophy since we started way back in 1997. If you don’t feel comfortable, then you’re not going to achieve your health and fitness goals. It’s as simple as that. We’ve designed every one of our clubs to be spacious, calm, friendly environments where everyone feels comfortable. And our staff is here to ensure you don’t feel intimidated or get discouraged by your personal fitness plan. At Movati Athletic, we want to create a fitness experience that you’ll look forward to every day.

Feel Welcome

EXPERIENCE

You’ll notice that we smile a lot at Movati Athletic. That’s not just because we’re really happy, it’s because we know how important the little things are – like a smile when you walk into the club – when it comes to making you feel welcome. This is essential for us. If you don’t feel welcome, then you won’t feel motivated to continue your journey toward a healthier lifestyle.

MEMBERSTORY

Weight Loss: 51.8lbs

I was troubled by my poor fitness level and decided it was time to get serious about improving my health. As a newcomer to strength conditioning, I felt intimidated by free weights and gym machines.

Things started to change when I started training with Adam Ryan three mornings a week.

The sessions were progressively challenging and I was continuously introduced to new exercises so boredom never set in. His expertise, patience and encouragement led to amazingly fast and effective results.

Through Adam’s guidance, I’ve successfully become stronger, more energized and gained confidence towards achieving my goals.

MEMBERSTORY

Weight Loss: 73lbs

These last few months have taught me that being healthy and losing weight cannot be found in the hip new trendy diet or in a miracle pill.

It comes from support of friends and family. It comes from working with people that understand how to push you to succeed.

It comes from setting small achievable goals for yourself, but most importantly, sticking to those goals even when no one is watching.

I could not have achieved this success without the support of my wife, my trainer or without being honest with myself – even when no one was looking.
