What if working out actually felt good, during and after?
That's exactly what our Jump Around class delivers, and once you experience it, there's no going back.
This past class brought together participants of all ages and fitness levels, and that's exactly the point. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just beginning your wellness journey, Jump Around meets you where you are and then gently, powerfully pushes you further. Every move is performed with intention, safety, and control, but don't let that fool you. Your muscles will absolutely know they showed up.
We jumped, we worked our legs, we sculpted our arms, and we fired up our cores. Participants were challenged and held accountable in the best possible way, the kind that leaves you feeling accomplished, not broken.
And here's what had our attendees talking: not a single person woke up the next morning stiff or in pain. Not one. Think of it like swimming or water aerobics, you know you put in the work, but your body isn't punishing you for it the rest of the week. For those who have spent years living by the "no pain, no gain" mentality, this is nothing short of a revelation.
That's the magic of rebounding. Jumping on a mini trampoline is a low-impact, joint-friendly workout that delivers full-body results without the wear and tear of traditional high-impact exercise. The health benefits are truly remarkable. Improved cardiovascular health, increased lymphatic drainage and immune function, enhanced balance and coordination, stronger bones, pelvic floor strengthening, and better core stability. And because it's so easy on the joints, it's a form of exercise you can sustain for life, at any age.
But the benefits don't stop at the physical. Rebounding has a profound effect on mental and emotional wellbeing too. The rhythmic bouncing naturally reduces cortisol levels, melts away stress, and floods the body with mood-lifting endorphins. Many participants notice improved focus, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of lightness, both literally and figuratively. There's also something quietly joyful about bouncing that no other workout quite replicates. It brings you back to something childlike and free.
Every Jump Around class begins with a full stretch and warm-up to prepare your body and center your mind. And we close every single class the same way, with meditation and appreciation. Because how you finish matters just as much as how you start.
This is fitness that respects your body, lifts your spirit, and leaves you genuinely looking forward to the next class.
Classes are now open for registration through March as a Tuesday/Thursday combo class and/or a Saturday morning class. Spots are limited, grab yours before they're gone!

Tonight is the LAST Jump Around class of February!
This month has been an absolute blast as we’ve learned the basics of rebounding while mixing in movement inspired by Barre, Pilates, and HIIT. This means we aren't just focusing on our legs, but also on our arms and core. Every class has brought energy, growth, and plenty of smiles, and tonight we’re ending on a high note.
We’ve curated a playlist packed with everyone’s favorite hype songs, and let’s just say the range is impressive. From throwback jams to high-energy beats, it’s the perfect way to mix up the set, stir up the rhythm, and spark a little extra movement. But the best part is watching each of you throw in your own moves when your favorite song comes on. The laughter and the shared energy in this class is everything, and I LOVE IT!
One last class this month, friends. Let’s get it!

March classes begin on March 3rd.
Registration closes March 1st, so hurry and reserve your spot today!

Last Monday, I had the pleasure of hosting two sessions for Cozad Community Schools-Maker Fair 2026, and it was such a rewarding experience!

We explored The Alternative's holistic approach to health and wellness, breaking down what it means to look at the "whole" person. This includes our mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental health.

The students quickly grasped the first few dimensions, but when we got to environmental health, something really clicked. I asked them what comes to mind when they think of environmental health.
Answers like air pollution, ocean pollution, and recycling immediately came up.

Yes, those are absolutely part of it. But then I invited them to think closer to home: What does your morning routine look like? What's in your closet? What products do you use on your hair, skin, and body? What do you eat for breakfast, and how do you prepare it? What's in your lunchbox? What's your favorite candy?

As we went along, walking through a typical day together, I encouraged them to do a quick Google search on terms like "forever chemicals," arsenic, PFAS, carcinogens, BPA, autoimmune disease, and hormone disruptors to see what comes up about those everyday products.

The room got really quiet. You could see the lightbulbs going off. Then the questions started pouring in.

My goal wasn't to overwhelm or scare anyone. It was simply to open their eyes to how the products and materials we interact with daily can impact our long-term health. With studies and research continuously revealing new information, we're at a point where we can't afford to turn a blind eye to how our daily choices impact our health. Small, informed changes over time can make a real difference, and these young adults are at such a perfect age to start thinking about these things, especially as they prepare for life beyond high school.

As I reminded them: "When you know better, you do better."

What an honor to spend time with such curious, thoughtful, and engaged students! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this event again this year, Cozad Community Schools.
