Why you should join me in November

  • Feb 5, 2023
  • 3 min read



I've been a fitness instructor since I was 25 years old. I wasn't married, I had no kids. I just loved working out and found a passion for helping others do the same. This passion took me through four pregnancies (if you've known me long enough you remember me teaching step classes and BodyPump classes with a VERY large belly, taking things at my tempo and pace as I progressed through each baby). This passion has always ignited in me the desire to help women feel strong and empowered, no matter their shape or size, regardless of their fitness levels. I don't care if you have never stepped foot in a gym - you WILL kick ass and I will help you do that. You WILL reach goals and feel good about yourself for doing it because don't we all deserve that feeling of bad-assery?


Jump ahead to 2023. Still happily married with four great (almost fully grown) kds and still fueling that passion to help others feel awesome from the inside out. WIth that in mind, I have FINALLY taken the plunge and committed to a women's wellness weekend. I've toyed with the idea for years. But how? And where? And when? And could I even PULL THIS OFF? Who wants to travel with me for a fitness weekend? I mean, I do think I'm good at what I do, (a little self love there) but I'm not some big name in the fitness industry. Hell, I probably learn more from my clients than they learn from me. Still, I decided it was time. So I enlisted the help of my dear friend and travel agent extraordinaire, Amanda Storm, and Tracey's Rejuvenating Wellness Weekend 2023 came to be.


So here we are. And now I share with you WHY you should join me on this amazing trip designed for YOU - and you alone.

  1. Women are crazy busy. Between professional careers, raising families or BOTH it is often the case that women put their needs last. Too many other responsibilties to tend to, so women often forego what THEY need for themselves to continue the rat race. SO this weekend is designed to help you get away from that rat race just for awhile to enable you to seriously R-E-L-A-X for a few days. Number one goal for me = to help you relax.

  2. Women are sometimes apprehensive to try new things. But if you are in the company of others who share interests, who open the doors for new opportunities and friendships, trying new things seems a little less scary. And that is what this weekend will be about - trying new things with some new people. We will have scheduled workouts (but only for those who want to participate - remember my #1 goal is to make it YOUR weekend). We will spend time getting to know each other and go on a few adventures while we are away. We will share conversations about wellness, overall health, struggles we have overcome and more. New doors will be opened - new friendships forged and any apprehension to try new things will melt away.

  3. You deserve it. :) You really do. Grab a girlfriend/sister/neighbor and join me on this adventure. Rest beachside, challenge yourself with new workouts, take a catamaran tour of the islands surrounding our beautiful resort and more. I promise you won't regret it.


Ladies, I cannot wait for November. I know some of you are on the fence, but I encourage you to take this opportunity to be part of something great. Talk to Amanda about financing this trip to make it part of your Fall 2023. Before the chaos of Thanksgiving and Christmas hit - take the opprtunity to recharge your personal battery.

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.

If you’re ready to be held, challenged, and renewed in ways you won’t forget, I would love to guide you on this journey. Grab your best girlfriends and plan on attending this year! Questions? Feel free to contact me at 785.766.3492 or via email at traceycenglish@gmail.com to register today! :)
