Every week in my teen class, we kick things off with an ice breaker question, sometimes silly, sometimes just for fun, and sometimes deep enough to really make them think. I’m blown away by their answers, and I’ve realized many of them haven’t been asked these kinds of questions before.

When we move beyond “How was your day?” it opens the door for real conversation and connection, so I’ve started sharing our weekly questions with parents too. Feel free to share your teen’s (or your own!) answers in the comments.

I’d also love to know: what character-focused questions do you ask the teens in your life?

LAST CALL!
Series starts tomorrow, and we are holding space for your middle schooler.

FUNctional Fitness for Tween/Teen girls has become so much more than a class where we learn to lift weights and move our bodies in fun and joyful ways. On the regular these girls literally lift each other up. There is something so powerful about girls supporting girls and a gym space and witnessing the carryover to all the corners of life.

Winter session starts Thursday, January 15th at 5:30p. Reserve your spot at wellnessinmotionstudio.com or drop a comment/DM and I will personally send you a direct link.

We closed out 2025 at the studio with a week of ‘Ugly’ Holiday sweaters, and boy did these ladies take assignment seriously. Not only did they bring the style, but they brought the laughs, and high energy and the vibes.

2025 was an amazing year with these gals, and I know 2026 will bring so much more fun, and adventures in weight lifting.

We have a few openings in the upcoming series for girls ages 11-14. Classes meet Thursdays, 5:30pm starting January 15th at Wellness in Motion. All experience levels welcomed.

You can find registration at wellnessinmotionstudio.com or by dropping a comment for a direct link.

Asking the always tired question of: What’s for dinner this week?

November came and went in a blink of an eye, and was filled with the sweet moments that mean the most.
• self care days in the gym
• mentoring teen girls in the studio
• intentional moments of gratitude
• headlamp lit walks in the dark
• holiday traditions

If you would have told me back in my YTT days, that I would be leading weekly classes for tween and teen girls, I would have laughed in your face. No really, I would have 🤣. This was never my intended audience.

I do, however, have a heart for working with beginners. Especially those coming to the mat/gym with the intention of building lifelong habits for health. So naturally, if you want to foster a lifelong habit, you should start early right?!

I love this space we’ve created at Wellness in Motion. These girls may humble me every single day, but they are real with their feelings, their insecurities, their need for connection, and their desire to be accepted in a way that can only be shared with youth. To be able to offer a safe space for all of that and more has been a true blessing. I am forever grateful for this group, this space, and their youthful perspective on life.
