Greetings from The Well! Today marks the start of our third week since opening. As the community of athletes continues to grow with every passing day, we are constantly being reinforced that choosing to build this space & offering is something so many were waiting for. We know you have a choice about where you decide to hang your hat, and we extend an offering of gratitude as we earn your trust in not only your experience here at The Well but also in the experiences you take with you.
At The Well, we aim to support you in your wellness journey - not your 6-pack journey or bikini body journey, etc etc (insert cheesy & quite frankly demeaning challenge here). My belief is that wellness merely begins with the physical body and from there we are able to expand into our mental and spiritual wellbeing which is where the true magic happens. We all know it is absolutely possible to have a visually 'ideal' appearance (whatever that even means), but be absolutely miserable and downright unhealthy underneath it all. Surprise(?!), your wellness (or happiness) does not magically come when you achieve a goal weight or win a challenge to lose the most inches, or decide to enroll in yet another 'jumpstart program'. You know this. And also what you know is that with consistency of choosing to take care of you & acknowledging your wellness on multiple layers beginning with the physical body as the catalyst and your strong foundation... THIS is where you find your joy. Maybe that 6-pack comes, maybe it doesn't. What I am willing to bet is that the physical changes that do occur will feel like a welcomed side effect in comparison to what's happening at a much deeper layer above it all.
Welcome to the #EauWell movement - where we don't stress the small stuff but rather find joy in the gift of being perfectly flawed and able to extend ourselves some grace + hold ourselves accountable to owning our own wellness journey. Be your own champion. And you know what, be the champion for your neighbor too because they deserve a little boost.
