This year, SIN Fitness celebrates 9 incredible years in business, and I can’t help but reflect on the journey. So much has happened in the past nine years, and I feel incredibly thankful to be part of this thriving community. When we first opened, I wasn’t even married, let alone a mom of two. Ryan and I were coaching every single class, grinding every day to turn our dream into a reality. I miss those early mornings and evenings filled with coaching—it’s a time I’ll always cherish. But as life changes, so does everything around us, and today, we are incredibly fortunate to have some of the most dedicated and passionate coaches leading our classes. SIN, which stands for Strength in Numbers, has truly become a living embodiment of that name. It’s not just a gym—it’s a community where our members and coaches don’t just push themselves to be better but uplift those around them as well. It’s common to hear a member call out another for not showing up or give a friendly nudge, reminding them it’s time to get back to class. That’s the kind of accountability that makes us more than just a place to work out. At SIN, we are a family. Over the years, our community has weathered life’s ups and downs together. We’ve celebrated the births of new babies and mourned the loss of loved ones—moms, dads, spouses, siblings, and friends. We’ve come together to share diagnoses and prayed for the strength to get through difficult times. We’ve fallen together, but more importantly, we’ve risen together, because that’s what Strength in Numbers means. We lean on each other when times are tough, and we celebrate when times are good. One thing that truly defines SIN Fitness is the unmatched camaraderie. The friendships formed here go beyond the walls of the gym—people meet lifelong friends in our classes, and they always check in on each other when life gets tough. But what really stands out is how the community rallies around each other during workouts. When someone is pushing for a personal record (PR), the energy in the room is electric. Everyone is cheering them on, rooting for them like it’s their own PR. There’s nothing quite like the shared excitement when someone hits a new milestone—it’s as if the entire gym has achieved something together. That support and enthusiasm is what makes SIN so special. We don’t just work out side by side; we lift each other up, celebrating every win as a team. As we look ahead, we can’t wait for the big 10-year mark. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come, and we’re excited for what the future holds. But no matter what lies ahead, we know that the heart and soul of SIN will always be our coaches and members. Without them, SIN Fitness would be nothing. They are what make this community so special, and I am so proud of who we’ve become. Here’s to another year of strength, growth, and, most importantly, community. Together, we rise.
