I always find the holidays a great time for reflection! This is a good time to pause and think back over the past year. Remember the good times, the hard times, what went well and what you could do better. It’s a time to stop and think about what you want to manifest for the year ahead. Setting goals is the key to success. I like to break my goals into weekly, monthly and yearly goals. Start with the big goal and then break it down into small pieces. What are you working on f...or 2021 - family, finances, friends, community, business, health, wellness. It’s good to look at all aspects of your life. What are your goals? Making small positive changes each week adds up to big changes. By this time next week .... By this time next month .... By this time next year .... Writing them down is the key to making them happen! If you are willing, share you goals below and let’s do this together ~ wishing you a prosperous 2021, Donna Reid

We would like to welcome Lauren to our Team!! Lauren was a founding member of our FitFamily and has now joined our staff! She has a glowing personality and loves inspiring members to do their best! Here is what she has to say! My name is Lauren Fettig and I am excited to continue my fitness journey as part of the Anytime Fitness team! I grew up playing soccer and basketball as well as swimming, cross country running and dance. Being active has always been a part of my life and is what continues to motivate me as I have had my fair share of knee surgeries. My injuries taught me the importance of functional and strength training along with the right people to keep you motivated to reach your goals.
