I want to be a FIT bride…Do YOU?!

bride-boot-campI love the feeling I get when I think about my upcoming wedding!  All of the excitement that comes along with being a bride gives me a wonderful feeling!  Beautiful flowers, awesome venue, yummy cake & picking out the perfect dress!  Last night I went to Veils & Cocktails at The Madison in Covington, Kentucky to promote our Fit-to-be-Bride Bootcamp!  You really never know what kind of response you are going to get but just hope for the best, especially with the weather we have had the past few days!

6:30 came and so did the Brides!  It was great because all of the brides had veils on so it was easy to point them out.  I was on a mission: I wanted to talk to every single one of them!  The night flew by, talking about our gym and what our bootcamp can do!  The one thing that I noticed with the majority of the girls, along with their bridesmaids and Mothers, was that we all need that extra push to do it!

I know that I want to look amazing on my wedding day and I am sure that all brides do.  But, you really never worry about it until you are trying on dresses or at your final fitting- and at that time it could be too late!  That is why you should start now. Grab you girlfriends and do it. We all want to have that toned, tight body especially on our special day.  You truly are worth it!  You deserve to feel amazing on the inside and out.

Our Fit-to-be-Bride Bridal Bootcamp is customized for you to meet your goals. What is holding you back? We have the extra motivation and the workouts to get you where you want to be… We just need to get you here.

Keep It Tight,

Johnnie
