Hey beautiful! As many of you know, I turned 40 a couple weeks ago and I was so honored to celebrate with this team! Every message, text, voicemail, and DM made me so grateful for the beautiful humans of this community 💜

It made me especially happy to hear from so many of you on the #TIUteam who are 40+ — we see you and we celebrate you!!! 

For me personally, in the past I had a lot of fear around aging and felt pressure to look and act “young.” I sometimes felt I had to lie about my age — especially in the fitness industry. But in the last few years, I’ve felt a major shift around this. I now see my age as something to celebrate instead of fear. It’s a marker of my experiences, everything I’ve lived through and learned. With this milestone, I felt excited to shout it out loud and clear! I’ve truly never felt more positive and inspired about coming into a new decade. 

A huge part of this shift comes from being surrounded by a supportive, loving, inclusive community. The #TIUteam is truly for all women — no matter your age, experience, where you live, or your fitness level. We’re here to meet you where you are because it’s never too late for a new adventure! 

There are so many strong, beautiful, powerful members of our #TIUteam of all ages. Check out these gorgeous women:
