Ready for A Challenge? TopGun Training & AthHalf Here We Come!🏃‍♀️ 🏅

Sweet friend,

Team TransFit Top Gun, what a fun start to the week! We learned from the movie that life is all about how you deal with setbacks in life. When you are open to them; lessons and inspiration can come from anywhere! You have a choice each day on how you will handle any situation- you can quit, or you can learn from past circumstances and use them to propel you forward! Let’s be inspired this week to go all in! To reach toward big goals and dreams! 

With all the summer excitement and people traveling again, our goal is to keep you strong, healthy, and feeling your best! Summer is a perfect time to set goals and achieve goals. One of the things we value is the importance of cardiovascular endurance and how it impacts overall health. We want to invite you into the challenge of beginning to train with us for the Athens Half Marathon which will be taking place on October 23, 2022! I know what some of you are thinking, 13.1 miles, are you crazy?

We understand, that some days self-doubt can creep in but we must remember, that we are all vessels and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit! Our bodies are capable of doing amazing things, immeasurably more, so why not challenge yourself! Did you know there is also 5k that weekend, too? We are so excited and have two goal-shattering plans that can help you as you train for the race! 

Mentioned below are many other races that are coming up in and around Athens that we encourage you to look into a 5k or another adventure event.

The basic plan includes an 13-week, training schedule to use as the race approaches. Join Team TransFit and let's run the AthHalf! We believe in you!

The Advanced Half Marathon Performance Health and Fitness Guide eBook will help you prepare for your upcoming half marathon! It features a running plan, workouts specific to runners, and a sports nutrition meal plan and recipes to help you feel your best, while preparing to run! The eBook is specific to the AthHalf Half Marathon on October 23!

🙏 Are You Ready to Commit?

Sweet friends,

Change will not come without challenge. Transformation is a process that happens over time that takes commitment and action. We believe in you and are ready to walk with you along this journey!

With our Bible Study starting this Thursday, we want to encourage you to commit to living transformed and accomplishing your specific goals for this year! Our Director of Spiritual Development and Outreach, Pam Adams, will be leading us on a 6 week study through the book of Esther. We are excited about the new bible study and would love for you to join us in the next step in your transformation process! Nothing happens in isolation: body, mind, and spirit are all inter-connected!

You can still sign up for the Bible Study on our free TransFit app HERE!

It will be held on Thursdays from 12-1 pm at the TransFit studio and is open to all women in the community!

A word from our Director of Spiritual Outreach, Pam Adams:

“Friends, we are so excited about starting our Bible Study Esther: The Courage To Commit. My prayer is we will be encouraged and strengthened in our faith as we learn, trust, and apply the truths of God from this dramatic historical narrative.

In The Book of Esther, all the covenant promises to Abraham and David looked to be in jeopardy, but as we will see God is in control of every person and event and His promises will stand. He is the architect ordering our lives. Romans 8:28 says “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” This is a reassuring promise for us when we are fearful, distressed, anxious, doubtful and find ourselves questioning life.”

“A few chapters later, Paul tells us in Romans 15:4 that “whatever was written in earlier times (meaning the Old Testament) was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” The Book of Esther instructs us to press on and be encouraged by the truths and promises of God’s Word, and in particular the truths that He is committed to us, His people, and is in every detail of our lives.

We’d love to have you join us in this Bible Study. Sign up on our app or email Pam@transfitathens.com. All women of the community are welcome!”

Love and Blessings,

Pam

Speaking of having the courage to commit, it’s not to late to fill out your goal sheet for 2019! We encourage you to find time this week to complete your goal sheet. Don’t forget to include your accountability partner! Remember we truly are stronger together! You can download and print the sheet HERE or ask us to give you one when you come into the studio.

You can find our Live Transformed Bible Study on Amazon HERE! It is a 6 week study to help you dive into the word and live transformed in body, mind, and spirit. We would also love for you to read Pam’s bio on our website HERE!

We are excited and ready to serve you this week! Be on the lookout for some exciting news as we celebrate our TransFit Birthday next week in the studio!

If you have any questions or want to schedule a one-on-one session, please email us at transfitathens@gmail.com.
