Happy Saturday friends! Over the past 10 days, my #DREAMTEAM at GRIT Fitness and I have been counting down to a really BIG announcement…
And we’ve finally made it to the last day! Tomorrow is the BIG announcement and I’d love to share it with YOU = my beloved blog community who’ve been a part of my journey long before I was a fitness entrepreneur. Sign up for my special newsletter that will be sent tomorrow morning and be the first to hear the good news!
We kicked off the business birthday celebration with a Friday night VINO + VINYASA (wine + yoga) party at my studio. Over 50 members of our GRIT Family came out to celebrate! The party was complete with wine, cupcakes and my favorite birthday jamz (e.g. Rhianna Birthday Cake).
We’ve kept the party going all week with themed classes. (See above our full list of themed classes – I’m pretty proud of our creativity here). Today was our final round of themed classes, “Crunk Party HIIT’s” = High Intensity Interval Training classes set to our favorite party songs. Lots of sweat and lot of smiles guaranteed!

As I reflect on the past year I pinch myself because I can’t believe this is really happening! Just over a year ago I was a traveling management consultant, disengaged with my career and pouring myself into this blog as a way to escape my “real life”. But now this is my life. We really did it! We built a business and a community out of a simple idea and lot of hard work. The accomplishments and experiences (good and bad) from this past year give me so much confidence and hope that the best really is yet to come…
Me and Jenny, our VERY 1st member at GRIT in January 2015 – thanks for the loyalty Jenny!

In only 1 year we’ve grown to over 2,500 active members, 15 instructors, 35 classes per week and 7 original class formats – WOW! As I said in the last post, “teamwork makes the dream work.” But the best part of the journey are the personal relationships I’ve made with the #GRITFAM and they’ve made with each other. Nothing is more important than family – #GRITFAM included!

Stay tuned my friends…this is only the beginning of the GRIT Fitness revolution. I have some exciting news to share in the coming weeks and I want you to be the first to know!
THANKS SO MUCH for following my journey to and through healthy living and entrepreneurship. xoxo, Brit
Hola friends! Hope your day is going well! I just finished some killer morning workouts thanks to my new ClassPass membership. I wanted to go hard on my workouts this week because last weekend, my friend Margo threw a wonderful b-day dinner at the Melting Pot Fondue Restaurant and I enjoyed more than my fair share of the chocolate fondue (see below) – no shame in my game. Work Hard Play Hard – right?
Margo’s b-day dinner at the Melting Pot. The rice krispy treats were off the chain – I’m such a sucker for sweets!
This week I’ll sweat it off at 5 different boutique fitness studio because ClassPass just launched in Dallas! Luckily ClassPass offered me a free month to try their all-access membership to boutique fitness studios. So far so good! Here’s how it works…
ClassPass allows you to purchase 1 single monthly membership to take classes at the best studios in DFW and attend each studio 3 times a month. You can also enjoy these perks:
Hundreds of classes to choose from, with new studios added weekly.
Covers the cost of your classes at the best fitness studios every month.
No commitments, cancel anytime. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
So far, I’ve taken classes at 3 boutique studios – BEYOND 500, Core Power Yoga and We Yogis. I’ve actually been really impressed with the simplicity of the scheduling and booking process. It’s really nice to be able to see a holistic schedule of a variety of classes on one single screen (see below). Also, I had no issues at all once I arrived to the studios to take the class. They already had all of my info in their systems, so I could just walk in a get to sweat in’! WARNING – you get charged a hefty fee ($20) if you register for a class and don’t go. So make sure you can attend all of the classes that you reserve.
The user interface is very intuitive and booking classes is a piece of cake
As icing on the cake, I got to rock this cute ClassPass tank top and tote bag to my sweat session. I don’t mind showing some love to ClassPass because it’s an amazing service for fitness enthusiasts, like me! I’m going to hop around to boutique studios regardless, so I’m grateful that ClassPass is now available to help me organize my workout schedule and save me a little money 😉
If you live in Dallas, I encourage you to hop on the Class Pass band wagon!
Thanks ClassPass crew for hooking me up with this cute tank and tote bag!
