What is Every Body Adventures all about?
Welcome new friends! I’m Whitney and I’m the owner and trainer at Every Body Adventures. I started training clients in 2014 and eventually built an in-person space in downtown Denver where I lifted with folks from near and far who were looking to get cozy in the gym when the fitness space wasn’t always a welcoming environment for them. In the years since, I have reinvented the space to join the virtual world in addition to training locally here in Leadville Colorado.
So what does Every Body Adventures stand for? I believe that humans are meant to move and that society has us stuck in chairs and in front of screens more often than is good for us. So let’s get outside! Let’s be a beginner again. Learn a new skill. Visit a new place. I believe not just that everybody should get out there and adventure, but that every body, big and small, young and old, strong and average joes, should have the opportunity to experience this big beautiful world. What you consider to be an adventure is up to you but I can promise you that life is best experienced at the edge of your comfort zone so let’s get ready, shall we?
Who am I? I’m not your typical trainer, I know that much.
I didn’t grow up playing sports. I didn’t do anything at the gym besides the elliptical or the thigh-squeezer machine until I was well into my 20s. I never had a goal outside of making myself smaller. I am a super average gal.
But then my grandma passed away because of complications due to a fall. And I randomly joined the neighborhood CrossFit gym thinking that maybeeee this time I could finally get healthy. And I had a little girl that I wanted better for than I had growing up. Then my other grandma passed away, also due to complications from a simple fall. Over a period of about five years, all these puzzle pieces started falling into place and I realized that a forcing my body into an arbitrary number on the scale was a waste of my short time on this planet.
It left me wanting to be strong. To take up space. To have a capable body that would carry me well into old age. Size and shape no longer mattered. I discovered that a body that can lift, climb, paddle board, hike, camp, jump, balance, and adventure was way cooler than being small. There are so many places to go, picnics to enjoy, rocks to climb, clouds to gaze, and I want to experience as much of it as I can.
And I want that for you too. It doesn’t matter your age. Your size. Your history in the gym (or lack there of). None of that matters. We start today to build a stronger future for you. Because every body adventures.
