🎉 Happy 3rd Birthday TransFit!

Sweet friends,

We are so excited to see you this week because we are celebrating TransFit’s 3rd Birthday! Can you believe it’s been 3 years since we moved into the TransFit Studio in 5 Points? TransFit (Transformational Fitness) began in Caroline’s basement gym in East Athens when she was called to encourage women and become a personal trainer. She created this truly unique business by helping women view exercise as a form of worship! Today, TransFit is a full service personal training studio  designed to help women live their BEST lives by becoming transformed in every area of life- body, mind and spirit. That is where our foundational verse and mantra comes from: "Do not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" Romans 12:2

Today, we celebrate every client and friend who has been a part of TransFit because we are stronger together! Together we are all transforming the community. We have loved partnering with Hope 139, Action Ministries, Downtown Academy, and now ESP to actually “live” transformed: using our bodies to love and serve this community!

We have transformed lives so much over the past 3 years in this space and could not have done it without all of your sweat, smiles, and prayers. We are SO grateful for you! You have filled the studio with encouragement and positivity as you have accomplished your goals and inspired one another to live transformed.

We can celebrate every day because we are so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing women and an awesome community!

🙏 Are You Ready to Commit?

Sweet friends,

Change will not come without challenge. Transformation is a process that happens over time that takes commitment and action. We believe in you and are ready to walk with you along this journey!

With our Bible Study starting this Thursday, we want to encourage you to commit to living transformed and accomplishing your specific goals for this year! Our Director of Spiritual Development and Outreach, Pam Adams, will be leading us on a 6 week study through the book of Esther. We are excited about the new bible study and would love for you to join us in the next step in your transformation process! Nothing happens in isolation: body, mind, and spirit are all inter-connected!

You can still sign up for the Bible Study on our free TransFit app HERE!

It will be held on Thursdays from 12-1 pm at the TransFit studio and is open to all women in the community!

A word from our Director of Spiritual Outreach, Pam Adams:

“Friends, we are so excited about starting our Bible Study Esther: The Courage To Commit. My prayer is we will be encouraged and strengthened in our faith as we learn, trust, and apply the truths of God from this dramatic historical narrative.

In The Book of Esther, all the covenant promises to Abraham and David looked to be in jeopardy, but as we will see God is in control of every person and event and His promises will stand. He is the architect ordering our lives. Romans 8:28 says “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” This is a reassuring promise for us when we are fearful, distressed, anxious, doubtful and find ourselves questioning life.”

“A few chapters later, Paul tells us in Romans 15:4 that “whatever was written in earlier times (meaning the Old Testament) was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” The Book of Esther instructs us to press on and be encouraged by the truths and promises of God’s Word, and in particular the truths that He is committed to us, His people, and is in every detail of our lives.

We’d love to have you join us in this Bible Study. Sign up on our app or email Pam@transfitathens.com. All women of the community are welcome!”

Love and Blessings,

Pam

Speaking of having the courage to commit, it’s not to late to fill out your goal sheet for 2019! We encourage you to find time this week to complete your goal sheet. Don’t forget to include your accountability partner! Remember we truly are stronger together! You can download and print the sheet HERE or ask us to give you one when you come into the studio.

You can find our Live Transformed Bible Study on Amazon HERE! It is a 6 week study to help you dive into the word and live transformed in body, mind, and spirit. We would also love for you to read Pam’s bio on our website HERE!

We are excited and ready to serve you this week! Be on the lookout for some exciting news as we celebrate our TransFit Birthday next week in the studio!

If you have any questions or want to schedule a one-on-one session, please email us at transfitathens@gmail.com.

What does I AM ENOUGH Really Mean?

I feel so passionate about the saying "I AM ENOUGH" but what do those words really mean? I have been praying over the right words the past few months and I wanted to share my thoughts with each of you.

At TransFit we inspire women to transform not only their physical bodies, but their entire lives. Yes, physical transformation is the before and after photos of women losing 50 pounds, and the tears of joy when jeans now fit. We realize that good nutrition and proper exercise lead to weight loss; however, losing weight is not what life is all about. Losing weight or getting to a “number” on the scale doesn’t lead to true happiness.  Real transformation has little to do with our body shape and has everything to do with the truths we are putting deep in our hearts and minds.  When these truths permeate through our veins we have a true-life change, and enjoy the process of transformation daily. How the truths seep into your veins is not by some physical activity that you do, or a kind word you said.  Are you getting this, ladies? The process of transformation is something He does in you- over time. 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me".  He grants us grace when He formed us specifically in the palm of His mighty hand. He is the one who will transform you from the inside out. 

I started this business eight years ago because my mind was leading me in all the wrong directions and I was in a pit of depression and despair. However, it was God who transformed my life by instilling real truths about my body because He loves me- why? Because he made me. Not because I am “a number on a scale” or because I have done all the right things, (because believe me growing up in New Orleans that would have been impossible). He made me enough just the way I am – today. Right now, this hour, this minute. So remind yourself of that truth. YOU ARE ENOUGH. A scale or a pair of jeans doesn’t need to control you and ruin your day.  You were put on this earth to love, not to beat your self up over a size or number. Jesus reminds us over and over in his word to “love our neighbor as ourselves”. And how do we do this- really?  

We start by seeking self-respect, security, and significance. We start to know Him, spend time with Him, and love Him to be able to truly love ourselves. So stop right now telling yourself: “I’m too fat, I’m too old, I’m too tired, or I’m too flawed”…. Silence that inner voice who says you can’t, you won’t or you aren’t…because yes you are imperfect; we all are, but YOU ARE ENOUGH. Because of Him, you are worthy, you are loved, you are strong enough to get though whatever comes in your life journey. 

So my challenge to you is this… start treating yourself with love, self-respect, and significance.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made and specifically designed for an amazing life purpose. You are loved and you are enough.

Today is the day to take action on your goals, your life, your health, and your body. Treat the temple you have been given with utmost care and respect. Love and honor yourself by taking care of yourself. Remind yourself hourly who you really are:

You are enough and you are loved by a mighty and powerful King.

We want to care for you! Our staff wants to know you and connect with you. Please reach out to us we would love to schedule one on one time for coffee, or a walk or healthy lunch!

Love,

Caroline

2 Corinthians 3:18- "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."
