A Letter from Lara

I’m writing today to share some big news from Boutique Fitness… The biggest news, actually. In the next couple of months, Angela will be taking over my half of the company and will be the sole owner of Boutique Fitness, Inc. There’s so much to unpack here. I must start by saying that this is […]

The Great Motivator

Love. There’s no greater motivator. The love for your children, your partner, siblings, parents, friends, community… yourself.  The world’s a mess right now. It can easily feel like there’s so much love lost, but I insist  that’s not the case. One helpful practice to commit to is breaking things down to what we can actually […]

4 Big Approaches in One

We’re two weeks into January and I’d like to know how your wellness resolutions are holding up.

Habits That Serve You:

A Step-by-Step Approach to Lasting Change The new year has a way of inspiring us to set lofty goals, envisioning an overhaul of our lives.

Burnout

Is the Contribution Worth the Aggravation? Usually burnout hits us like a ton of bricks, so avoiding it can seem impossible.

Get Excited About Your Goals

As we race towards the end of the year and begin to consider what our goals for 2025 might look like, slightly shifting your approach can help make your fitness goals more exciting.

Barbara Belanger: Bada$$ at 87

I first met Barbara Belanger in 2012 through Buzzards Bay Rowing Club. She was part of the female entourage that showed the Knotty Girls (the original Azorean rowing team) how it’s done. She was in her 70’s back then and I was in awe of how bada$$ she was. When the Mattapoisett studio opened in […]
