After many years of searching, I've finally found a fitness studio that I love. Yes, folks, Life in Synergy studio in Boston is my new favorite place!
Growing up, my life revolved around competitive gymnastics. Each day, I spent hours at the gym, in the ballet studio, or traveling to competitions. It was time-consuming, intense, stressful at times, and yet so fulfilling. I loved it. I ate, slept, and breathed gymnastics through college and then "retired" at the age of 21.
From that point on, I'd hadn't been able to find a fitness regimen that I liked. To me, working out was associated with swinging, tumbling, dancing...performing. Everything I'd tried post-gymnastics was just monotonous and boring to me. I couldn't find something and make it stick. I tried running - and realized I'd rather poke my eye out than suffer down the street to the sound of my feet slapping the pavement. I'd join gyms, pay the monthly fee, and rarely show up. Even adult gymnastic classes didnt' satisfy me because I found them too basic, which was frustrating. So after bouncing from attempt to attempt, without success, I just gave up, and settled on the couch.
Then, one day at the office, a friend mentioned a place called Life in Synergy and suggested I try it. I said, "I hate gyms." She assured me it's not a gym. It's a studio - classes only.
I said, "Well, even so, I'm sure it has those mean girls that look you up and down and smirk to themselves as you walk in. I'm against them."
She said, "No! It's not like that! Really!"
So, after she finished telling me about the classes, the fitness method they are based on, and how amazing and fun the owner, Helena, is, I decided to give it a try. And, yay, the first class was free!
Well, my friend was right. I love it. Everyone is so nice. Helena is great, and no mean girls in sight! I actually find myself looking forward to class each week. Who knew? I'm so pleased I found Life in Synergy, and I know it will stick. Stay tuned.
