💙Thank YOU for Helping Us Celebrating 4 Years of TransFit🥳

Sweet Friend,

It was a successful birthday week!

Each of you made this week so special. And we wouldn't be able to celebrate TransFit's 4th Birthday without your dedication to supporting our mission to transform the bodies, minds, and spirits of the Athens community.
We loved seeing you sporting TransFit blue with us this week! 

Each one of YOU has filled this place with encouragement, kindness, enthusiasm, and love as we have accomplished goals and inspired one another to live transformed! Stronger together!
Check out these pictures of all those who helped us celebrate! 

The celebration doesn't stop. Let's remember to celebrate every day because each new day is a gift. Rejoice!

“My joy comes from the lord, not from the ease of my day. My identity is found in Him, not in what I do or say. My past will not define me, I have been forgiven, washed, set free. My future secure, by grace this is me.”

What would do without you!?

As a THANK YOU, we want to share two of our favorite recipes.

Famous Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup uncooked quinoa

• 2 cups shredded red cabbage, depending on how much crunch you like

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 1/4 cup diced red onion

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• ½ cup chopped cilantro

• ¼ cup diced green onions

• ½ cup cashew halves or peanuts (honey-roasted is good)

• Optional: 1 cup edamame or chickpeas

• Fresh lime, for a bit of tang

  For the dressing:

• ¼ cup all natural peanut butter

• 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

• 3 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos

• 1 tablespoon honey (use agave or pure maple syrup if vegan)

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or red wine vinegar

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon olive oil or more sesame oil

• Water to thin, if necessary

Instructions:

1. To cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add in quinoa and bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat and fluff quinoa with fork; place in a large bowl and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. You should have a little over 2 cups of quinoa.

2. To make the dressing: Add peanut butter and honey or agave to a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add in ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and both sesame and olive oil and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, simply stir in a teaspoon or two of water or olive oil.

3. Add as much or as little dressing as you’d like to the quinoa. I always start out with a little bit of dressing and usually add more to suit my taste preferences. Alternatively, you can save the dressing for later and add when you are ready to eat; however, the flavors of the dressing usually soak into the salad so I love adding it to the quinoa first.

4. Next fold in red pepper, onion, cabbage, carrots, and cilantro into the quinoa. Garnish with cashews and green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature with lime wedges, if desired.

Inspiring Generations of Women- Spotlight on Amazing Middle School Girls!

Hello Sweet Friends!

Today, we have the joy of hearing from one of our amazing Personal Trainers, Katie Lord, who supports our amazing middle school girls! She adores these middle school girls and comes alongside them to provide encouragement, support, care, and hope as they learn about whole body health! We are so thankful for Katie and our middle school girls who are learning what it means to live transformed! 

Think back to your years in middle school. What thoughts come to mind? Are all of your memories positive, or like me, do you also remember a lot of awkwardness and feeling uncomfortable with your body! I wish someone had come alongside me during middle school to offer encouragement and guidance in how to take care of my body and be confident in how God made me! 

At TransFit, we aspire to do just that for this generation of middle school girls through the TransFit Girls sessions! We teach the girls about whole body health and help them to love their bodies! We hope to empower each girl to be confident in who they are and know that they are beautiful, strong, and unique! 

In the 55 - minute TransFit girls session, we focus on making exercise enjoyable, learning how to correctly perform exercises, and the importance of nutrition and faith. Each week, the girls engage in an energizing and fun workout along with a cooldown time with stretching and inspiration. Some weeks the girls also complete simple crafts or hear a guest speaker that relates to the weekly theme. We help the girls set attainable goals each month and encourage them to stay committed to reaching those goals! We want the girls to give their best not just in the workout, but in everything they do! 

It is such a blessing to spend time with the middle school girls each week and teach them about living transformed! The girls have a blast during the workout! They work hard, all while smiling, laughing, and making new friends. God is changing the hearts of this generation of middle school girls! He is helping them to be confident, strong young women who are lights of kindness, love, and hope to the other girls in their community! Middle school is such an important stage in a young girl's life, and we pray that each of the girls finds inspiration to live transformed - body, mind, and soul. 

It is an honor and joy for us to welcome these sweet middle school girls into the studio. We are so thankful for the joy, sparkle, laughter, and energy each of these girls brings each Wednesday afternoon! If you know someone who would like to join us for our middle school girls session, they can sign up on our FREE app. The middle school girls sessions meet on Wednesday's from 4:30-5:30. We would love for your daughter or friend to join us!
