Oh my sweet VillaSport..
You’ve occupied such a special space in my heart.
Almost 14 years with VillaSport and 30+ behind the mic... that’s a lot of beautiful experiences.
It’s time for me to step away.
Countless stories and memories flood my mind.
We chased lost puppies together.
You shared your sweetest journeys with me.
You let me pray for you while you recovered and cry with you for your losses and allowed me to celebrate the happiest milestones in your life.
I watched my new momma’s crush it in my Les Mills Body Pump class and then a few years later, you let me love those littles in my Les Mills Born to Move classes. And forever grateful to my seasoned momma’s that encouraged and lifted me up when I was figuring out what life looked like after I sent Taylin off to college.
You allowed us to create legendary events. We didn’t even need electricity at times.
Who knew we could turn that basketball court into so much fun?
We stepped into a life size Candy Land and Old MacDonalds Farm with your children, danced our hearts out, pulled off a Les Mills Body Pump 100 celebration for the ages and even made a yoga practice a unique & stunning experience.
The countless classes you rallied, supporting the new programs and showing up to everything I could come up with.
Moonlight Spin & Yin that made storms stand still for us.
You’ve been my Valentine- and devoured my chocolate covered strawberries. Waves to you in the windows…were distracting, but you tolerated it because it was me.
And dancing outside overlooking the mountains never got old, or letting me dance for you in your aqua classes.
My aqua crew… there is no one like you. 🤍
I never did jump in did I?
We selflessly teamed up with UNICEF & Les Mills Workout for Water raising over $5k to build pumps for clean water for people we’ll never meet. You rode for a Cure with us and walked all night long at the Relay for Life in hopes to kick cancer in the ass.
And we’ve made wishes come true.
You are beautiful people. 🤍
Since 2007, you’ve joined me on the mat, danced with me on the bike and charged into my Les Mills Body Pump classes to claim your spot only to be the loudest to WHOOHOO across the studio.
I have loved VillaSport in the biggest ways since day one.
My gift is to love people. My hope was to leave VillaSport better than I could ever imagine it could be and make sure that everyone felt seen by me, encouraged and welcomed in our space.
You have, and will continue to be a precious blessing in my life. 🤍
VillaSport’s tagline is to be the best part of our member’s day...
little did you know that it’s always been the other way around.
♥️ Dana
