Wrong. You CAN cook with olive oil!

Turns out that I - and many others! - were wrong about not cooking with olive oil at high temps. 👎 Nutrition science is always changing & I'm always learning. So... After reading various recent studies ( Journal of Chemical Nutrition, National Center for Biotechnology Information, ScienceDirect - great bedtime reading if you suffer from insomnia, LOL)... 😂 Actually, olive oil DOES become carcinogenic... but it's NOT due to the reasons we'd learned before. Here's the latest! 1) Recent Scientific Studies Disprove the Myth The studies found that heating olive oil does not produce significant carcinogenic compounds unless it’s overheated far beyond normal cooking ....

A Mindset Shift for Lifelong Fitness

When we’re younger, fitness is often about aesthetics—getting that summer body, fitting into a certain size, or looking great in a bikini. But as we get older, our perspective shifts.🤔 It’s no longer just about how we look; it’s about how we feel and how well our bodies function . In other words, our focus is on quality of life: Having the energy to play with our kids or grandkids Staying strong to avoid injuries Maintaining mobility Feeling good in our own skin. Fitness becomes less about vanity and more about longevity, resilience, and vitality. That doesn’t mean we stop challenging ourselves. It means we train smarter, prioritize recovery, and ....

Why Barefoot Training?

At Camp MissFits, we normally work out with shoes on. However, we encourage ladies to train barefoot or with special "grip" socks when taking our Barre or Pilates classes.👣 Why? There are soooo many reasons. Here are our top three: Improved Balance and Stability: Without shoes, your feet can fully engage with the ground, enhancing proprioception (your body’s awareness of its position). This leads to better balance and stability during exercises. Stronger Feet and Ankles: Being barefoot activates smaller stabilizing muscles in the feet and ankles, increasing their strength and flexibility, which can help prevent injuries. Wanna test it for yourself? Try ....

What Exactly is Barre?

Over the past few years, I noticed that "Barre" was on the rise. Since I'm always looking for what our MissFit ladies would enjoy and benefit from, I started asking... What is Barre anyway? Perhaps you've wondered the same. So, here's what I discovered! Barre is a really cool fitness approach that combines three elements: Ballet - You'll do booty-lifting movements, such as plies and tendus. Pilates - Great for strengthening your core & improving your posture. Yoga - To increase your balance & flexibility After learning that Barre combined all these modalities, I knew that the ladies at Camp MissFits would LOVE IT. And it has NOT disappointed! ....

I Hate the Fitness Industry

Recently, I've had multiple conversations with newbies (AKA ladies stepping into Camp MissFits for the first time). What they said boiled my blood SO MUCH... I wanted to walk out and punch some people in the face!👊 Not just anyone. I was ready to punch other FITNESS TRAINERS. Why? Because what the ladies shared absolutely appalled me! They said: I felt fat-shamed I was like the last kid on the bench waiting to be chosen for the team I actually felt excluded during the workout WHAT THE ****?! I hate the fitness industry sometimes! How? Why? What is wrong with these trainers?🤬 Before I go into an unproductive rant... Here's why you'll ....

Why Did I Start a Women's Gym?

It's been 20 years. I've coached women on fitness, nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle habits for over 20 years now. 🤯 Sometimes clients tell me that their kids are going off to college or they got engaged (and it seems like yesterday that they were running around at one of our special events). That's when it hits me that I've been in fitness a LONG time. So, why did I start a women's gym? Well, I didn't. I started a "holistic health" coaching program. And it gradually turned into a women's boutique fitness studio. I moved from California to Colorado in 2004 to go to Denver Seminary. I had always wanted to be a personal trainer, so I got certified just before moving and ....
