“In the past, working out was always about pushing past pain and discomfort…”
Words from Maureen, our latest Accelerator graduate
“When I started the Accelerator, I was two months postpartum. My goal was to get back into the habit of working out again, but it has been WAY more exciting and gratifying and positive than I thought it was going to be.
“In the past, working out was always about pushing past pain and discomfort.
“Going through the Accelerator, I’ve realized that the intent of an exercise practice doesn’t have to be to torture my body until it can’t take anymore.
“Endurance and stamina are not just about “how much can you take?” They’re also about “What can your body do?
“There were moments when I came in and Kimmie and Chelsea could sense that I wanted to move really fast, which is the way I used to work out in the past. They could always meet me where I was at and then help me slow down and redirect.
“There has also been a huge educational component that I wasn’t anticipating - I’ve learned so much about how to tune into the sensations and movements of my own body.
“It’s so engaging - I’m always excited to go back to the studio and try out the new things I’m learning!
“The mind-body connection I’ve found through the SPRe bodywork has been what I’ve WANTED for a long time, but I didn’t know it EXISTED. Having someone help me connect my physical self with my emotional self has made a huge difference in my life!”
-Maureen, Accelerator Graduate
When Maureen was looking to get back into working out after giving birth to her second child, she knew a gym membership wouldn’t get her to her goals.
With the responsibilities of caring for a four-year-old and a two-month-old, Maureen needed a stronger support and accountability system for her self-care practice.
So she signed up for The Accelerator.
The Accelerator is Studio Evolve’s signature four-week program for folks who are ready to invest in their self-care practice for the long term, so that they can make progress with injuries, build strength while staying adaptable, and increase the energy and vitality they bring to their work, families, and relationships.
Lots of our clients turn to The Accelerator when they’re going through a transition in their lives - like Maureen, who wanted support for her self-care practice while she was recovering from childbirth and getting ready to go back to work.
And here’s the thing: it’s not a bootcamp.
As Maureen learned, we don’t subscribe to the “no pain no gain” approach.
Instead, we empower our clients to listen and connect with their bodies as they learn new movement patterns and challenge themselves.
The results? Reduced pain, more energy, and a SUSTAINABLE exercise practice that they actually WANT TO CONTINUE.
Like Maureen, who’s continuing with weekly Pilates classes and monthly SPRe bodywork sessions.
