I'm so excited to finally start a new series on my blog called SWEAT SERIES. I'll be heading to different fitness studios to share my personal experience along with information I feel like you guys would love & need to know! As much as I want this to be a personal blog, I also want this platform to be resourceful to my followers. Each "Sweat Series" post will have the same template (shown below) with additional modifications of course :) If you guys have anything else you want me to cover, please feel to comment below! I'll be covering obviously Los Angeles based fitness studios but once I start traveling, I hope to take this globally!

  AMENITIES

*ClassPass

Private dressing areas -showers (with bath essentials already provided) & personal sauna included in each one, cold Eucalyptus or Lavender towels post class, *alkaline water on draft, tampons provided in the restroom (Yes, I pay attention to that!) 

  VIBE

When you walk in, you'll immediately feel at home. Kid you not, every corner was instagrammable (yes, that's not a word but we'll play pretend, ya?) I actually first tried this studio using my ClassPass!

 You'll feel your own sense of security in the rooms with the shower and sauna. The yoga room is SMALL and it can fit about 10 people. I personally like that because I feel like the instructor can focus more on each student vs other studios where 30 of us are jammed like sardines in a can. I love that it's very intimate and small which creates a friendly atmosphere. Since it's an enclosed space, they're very attentive to maintaining the cleanliness of the studio! I have YET to try the Vitamin Injections but hope to do so when I come back. I'd probably take my BFF here for her birthday since we like to treat each other to the ultimate pampering experience! Whether it's a class or a sauna session, I highly recommend trying it out! 

 S/O to SWEATHEORY for having us!

THE 14TH FACTORY // LOS ANGELES, CA

It took me A WHILE to find time to love and spend time with myself. Sometimes I get so wrapped up on the hustle, I fail to take care of myself. I learned and read that successful people make time in the morning for themselves. Before anyone is up & before they log in to their emails, successful people have morning rituals. 

I like to meditate at least 5-10 minutes in the morning, read for about 20 minutes, and stretch my body all before getting ready for work.

Hi Girl! I definitely use my passion planner for my fitness journey. Where it says “Today’s Focus” I write the target muscle. For example: Monday = Chest/Tri-ceps & Cardio Tuesday = Glutes & Hammies etc etc. Each week has a MAIN FOCUS - I always write something that will help me mentally! “Being positive” “Loving yourself” “Be more patient.” It’s totally up to you! If you want to do more fitness based, I think it’s a great idea that you write a physical goal you want to achieve ex. Running XX miles, hitting PR on my squats, etc.

As for each individual day and if the time isn’t something you look at, write out your work out at the very top, and all your tasks on the second half.

Although I moved on to my own blog, www.macarigma.com, I will forever come back to Tumblr because I feel like I can really be myself on here! Beyond bless to start on Tumblr borrowing my best friend’s Nike clothes to put dope outfits together. I’m happy to say I’ve worked with some amazing brands like adidas.
