Taking the leap to join us in bootcamp

  • Mar 5, 2023

When I talk to women about joining our bootcamp group, the most common concern I hear is that they are worried that they will not be able to "keep up" with the rest of the group. They are worried they will not feel as if they belong, that they will hold others back, and that they will leave feeling defeated and down.


Nothing is further from the truth. And Ill tell you why - I train women where THEY are in their fitness journey. Sure, some participants are avid exercisers. But some clients are returning after having a child, others are coming back after an injury. Still others have never been a regular exerciser and other clients dont even LIKE to exercise. They are doing it because they should. (They are right about that, by the way).


How can I manage to do this with such a broad range of exercise experience, limitations and worries? I do it through timed drills (that enable clients to go at their own pace); through partner drills (that enable clients to get to know others in the group & work together toward a goal); and through constant reminders that each client needs to listen to her own body, take breaks when needed and avoid falling prey to trying to keep up with everyone else in the group.


The result is a challenging, fun, uplifting workout that enables participants to push themselves while lifting others up. So I encourage those who have thought "maybe someday" to make this March THAT day.


Bootcamp begins March 25, and we will meet for six weeks. 8am-8:45am Saturday mornings at Kondition Haus. Because we are on the CUSP of the weather warming up, it means we will take advantage of the sunshine and combine indoor and outdoor drills for our time together.


I'd love you to join us. I'd love you to invite a friend or two. Because although Ive been told I'm fun, bootcamp is MUCH more fun with someone you know. You can register EASILY through Venmo. It's a solid $90 investment, I promise you. Venmo me at @tracey-english or shoot me a message if you have questions.


All the best in health!

CIVANA website invitation

Here we go again! It’s year 4 for my annual Women’s Wellness Retreat, and this year we embark upon the world-renowned CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa, nestled in the Sonoran Desert, just outside Scottsdale, Arizona. CIVANA, nominated as a top Destination Spa by Travel & Leisure magazine, is a destination wellness resort that offers a regenerating experience to a wide audience of wellness travelers, as well as those simply looking for a serene and healthy get-away.

 

This year’s retreat will take place November 12-November 15 and will promise to provide every attendee a wellness experience that empowers them to stay happy and checkout changed, leaving with more than they arrived.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa offers wellness, redefined. Rooted in four intentional pillars - movement, spa, nourishment, and discovery - CIVANA creates space to reconnect with your body, quiet your mind, and rediscover what truly restores you.

Surrounded by sweeping desert views and endless skies, guests are invited to hike, bike and move through the natural beauty of the landscape, then return to thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage deep rest and renewal. This retreat blends purposeful movement, soul-nourishing experiences, and meaningful connection, set against one of the most serene and grounding environments in the Southwest.

As a group we will once again enjoy guided hikes, private meals, private wellness experiences, plenty of fitness opportunities and more. And all attendees are welcome to enjoy The Spa, which recaptures the time-honored art of healing through water in its hydrotherapy thermal circuit of hot and cold pools, cool waterfall shower and beautiful sanarium offering humidity and heat from within.

This is my fourth annual wellness retreat, and each year the experience becomes more meaningful - deeper connection, greater ease and more space to simply be. Hosted at CIVANA, wellness unfolds naturally through movement, nourishment, rest and discovery, all without pressure or expectation.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise and into an experience that is both grounding and transformative - thoughtfully curated, deeply restorative and guided with care.
