Curvy Girls Bootcamp

Happy !

Since 2014, CFE has been part of the Burlington community—and that’s no small thing in the fitness world. We’ve watched our members get stronger, achieve goals they never thought possible, make lasting friendships, and keep showing up through all the changes life brings.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and even more grateful for the amazing people who make CFE what it is.

Just like the postal service connects people, our classes connect kids and teens, building confidence and strength together.

Let’s keep spreading positivity and support—one post at a time. 💌💪

**Training your legs is hard.**
Needing help getting out of a chair is harder.

**Working on your balance is hard.**
Losing confidence because you’re afraid of falling is harder.

**Making time to exercise is hard.**
Feeling tired and stiff all the time is harder.

**Choosing foods that support your health is hard.**
Feeling like your health is holding you back is harder.

Here’s something I think about a lot:

**The body you want to have 10, 20, or 30 years from now is being built today.**

Not with perfect workouts.
Not with perfect meals.
Not by never missing a day.

It's being built by the small choices you make consistently.

Strength training.
Moving your body.
Working on balance and coordination.
Eating well most of the time.
Getting enough sleep.
Taking care of yourself.

Because fitness isn't just about how you look.

It's about being able to carry the groceries.
Get up and down the stairs.
Play with your grandkids.
Travel.
Garden.
Keep doing the things you love.

**The hard stuff you do now can buy you a lot of freedom later.**

So don't wait until you "feel motivated."
Don't wait until Monday.
And don't think you have to be in shape before you start.

**Choose your hard.**
And choose the one that helps you stay strong, capable, and confident for years to come.

September Committed Club: More Than Just a List of Names

Every month, we celebrate the members who showed extraordinary consistency and we wanted to take a moment to explain WHY this matters so much to us.

Because the truth is—showing up is hard.

Life is loud. Schedules are packed. Motivation fades. Excuses are easy. And yet, these people showed up anyway. Not because it was convenient. Not because they had endless energy. It's because they made a decision that their health, their goals, and their community were worth the effort.

That's what the Committed Club represents.

It's not about being perfect. It's not about never missing a day. It's about the pattern of showing up, again and again, even when it's not glamorous.

It's about the quiet victories:
→ The workout you almost skipped but didn't.
→ The heavier weight you finally lifted.
→ The friend you made along the way.
→ The confidence you're building one rep at a time.

To our September Committed Club members: Thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your time, your energy, and your goals. Thank you for making this community what it is. Thank you for proving that consistency truly is the secret to results.

You inspire us. You push us. You make this place special.

And to anyone reading this who didn't make the list this month—that's okay. Every month is a new opportunity. Every day is a fresh start. We'll be here when you're ready. No judgment. Just support.

Let's make October even better. Together.

Comment below and shout out someone from the Committed Club who inspires you!

You’re doing your best to stay active.

You walk.
You get outside.
You garden.
You ride your bike.
You try to keep moving.

And all of that is great.

But if you’re noticing that you’re not as strong as you used to be, you have less energy, or everyday activities are getting a little harder, there’s something else you may want to add to your routine: Strength training with a side of Balance & Coordination work too.

As we get older, maintaining muscle becomes more important—not just for how you look, but for how you move, feel, and live your life.

Getting stronger can help you carry the groceries, get up and down the stairs, play with your grandkids, travel, enjoy your favorite activities, and feel more confident in your body.

And no, you don't need to spend hours in the gym or do workouts that leave you exhausted and sore for days.

At CFE, we believe strength training should be safe, effective, and actually enjoyable.

We’ll help you start where you are, learn how to exercise properly, and build strength at a pace that works for you.

Getting older doesn't mean you have to settle for feeling older.

**You can get stronger at any age.**

NEW 4 PM Class – Beginner Friendly Low Impact!

Calling all parents, early birds, and anyone who wants to get their movement in before the evening rush!

You asked, and I listened. I'm adding a Beginner Friendly Low Impact class at 4 PM starting next week—the perfect time slot if you're coming from school pickup, squeezing in a workout before dinner, or just prefer to move earlier in the day.

This class is for EVERYONE:
✅ All fitness levels (even if you don't have one yet!)
✅ All body types
✅ All knee injuries welcome
✅ All ages

We focus on what we actually need to move better every day: mobility, coordination, and great music to keep you going. It's a supportive, judgment-free zone where you can just show up and feel good.

No experience needed. No pressure. Just good music, good people, and movement that works for your body.

Come move with us before the chaos of the evening begins!

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep going.

Here’s to getting stronger, feeling more confident, and proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you think!
