Reflecting on the 2024 IWD Theme: #InspireInclusion

This theme underscored the significance of inclusivity and the creation of spaces where women felt valued, included, and empowered. At Fitness World, we believed fervently in fostering safe and inclusive environments, both within our gyms and in our everyday lives.

The occasion called for celebrating the women in one's life by acknowledging their successes, supporting their goals, and ensuring their full inclusion and respect in all aspects of society. Encouraging individuals to be allies, to support, learn from, and advocate for women, was a pivotal part of the message. Allies were instrumental in championing women’s achievements, advocating for gender equality, and creating welcoming spaces such as gyms, where women felt secure, appreciated, and included. At Fitness World, all our locations were committed to providing a safe and friendly environment for women to confidently pursue their fitness goals.

Favourite Workout: The New Booty Builder Zone

What goal do you have for yourself?
My goal is to consistently maintain a well-rounded wellness program including lifting weights 4 times per week, sleeping well nightly, remaining spiritually aligned, and keeping my mental health in check. At this point in my life, exercise and wellness goes far beyond a physical goal, it’s mental and spiritual.

What woman inspires you the most?
My mom… she was a legend. I strive to be like her in all the positive ways she lead me throughout my life. She instilled self-worth and self-confidence in me as a young child. I believe I can achieve anything because of her. I hear her voice anytime I’m winning or losing, and I want to be that same voice of encouragement for the other women in my life.

Any advice you want to provide to women everywhere?
Be loud! Demand your voice is heard because you have great things to say and share. We are the most brilliant people on this earth; others deserve to be touched by our ability to emotionally connect, our strong intuition, our open minds, our creative ideas, and our ability to solve problems with care and grace. If we don’t speak up, we can’t help build others into their greatness!
