"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." - Thomas Edison, American inventor who frequently worked more than 40 hours straight

In life and in training, challenges come our way in order to help us become stronger. In training, we look for what we call a positive adaptation. By that I mean the following: Your body is very smart and it always tries to make things easy for itself. When you train you ask your body to do something it isn’t used to doing so it responds, or adapts, to what it believes will be the new workload by getting stronger, developing more lean muscle tissue or gaining greater endurance. The challenges are faced DURING THE EXERCISE and the gains are made DURING RECOVERY (must be why my RPM students cheer so loudly for recovery!).
Training challenges are your life metaphors – use the same thought process in life that you use in training and you will develop an entirely new outlook on how to deal with the challenges in your life. When someone asks me what I do, my response is not “I’m a cycling coach” or “I manage a gym”; my response is “I help empower women to make positive changes in their lives by inspiring them to participate in life-changing cycling classes.” To me, teaching is part of my spiritual practice, and if I can help you develop more confidence by coaching you to do something new or perhaps didn’t believe possible than I have made a positive impact on your life.
That is our goal at Aurora Womens Fitness and that is why we refer to our members as athletes. You may not be a professional athlete – I don’t think anyone is paying you to come here and improve your life – but you are an athlete none the less because you make small changes that lead to BIG results over time.
At Aurora Womens Fitness, we provide the Inspirition and our members provide the perspiration.
