Heavily Scaled

Gabi's just taking a few minutes to check in after taking a two-week break.

Simple doesn't always mean easy, but we also don't have to overcomplicate the positive habits we want to make in our lives. These 3 are foundational.

In this week's episode, the roles are reversed and Gabi is interviewed by her friend Shanique Allen. Shanique asks Gabi about how this pregnancy has compared to her first and what changes were made. The big takeaway: mindset shifts are key.

Sometimes we just need to reframe our thinking. Maybe you need to look at fitness, mobility, eating, moving well as investments in your future independence.

Pregnancy and/or kids can really take a toll on the motivation to workout. Gabi highlights 5 tips that have helped her navigate her second pregnancy while raising a toddler.

Do stereotypes serve a purpose? We all use them. The key is understanding why.

Just in case you've ever wondered what it's like trying to record with a toddler around...

Today is purely about reflection on leadership. Gabi shares some insights she learned from a recent work experience.

It is PRIDE month which means we are showing love to our LGBTQ+ community (even though we do, or you should, all the time)! Gabi has some of her Summit friends, Kate, Christa, & Jake, on the podcast to discuss some of the barriers faced by members in the LGBTQ+ community and how gyms can foster greater inclusivity. Don't miss this one!

The title pretty much says it. Fit fitness into your life, not the other way around.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We all know this statement, though well-intentioned, is a lie. The words we speak to ourselves and to others are some of the most powerful weapons we have.

Our bodies and our relationships with them are messy. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that it's okay to embrace that mess and show our bodies a little kindness and compassion.

We often say to ourselves or hear phrases such as "work-life balance," or "I need more balance in my life." But, should we be striving for balance? Is it something we can realistically achieve? If balance is a myth, what should be aiming for?

Life happens. It's been a few months since the original Heavily Scaled crew sat down together for a chat. Here's a glimpse into what it looks like when they connect and chat about life changes, lessons learned, and hopes for the future. Life and fitness at its finest.

We often talk about how we manage our time, but what our energy? Energy is a resource like time and money, which means it can be invested and spent, and wasted.

Gabi shares just a few random thoughts on SUCCESS.

Ability, Affinity, Affirmation. Have you thought about these 3 areas and the potential they can have on your personal growth? If not, maybe you should.

Have you checked in on your goals or resolutions lately? Are they still moving forward with some momentum or have you let them slowly die?

Today Gabi (and her special co-host), talk about the best routine for you. Spoiler alert, it's the one you can commit to consistently.

Gabi's first episode of 2021 reflects on the quote, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." You've heard it before and it might seem cliché, but the message matters nonetheless.

The phrase "You can do hard things" has been pretty popular the last year or two. Prepping for and running your first marathon virtually during the epic year that is 2020 (future listeners check your history books), is definitely a hard thing. Gabi sits down with her friends and Summit athletes, Kate and Kristen, to talk about why they wanted to run a marathon this year of all years, how they prepared, and how they not only survived the marathon but crushed it. 

We all start somewhere and chances are when we start something new, we aren't very good at it. Gabi heard another quote, from a cartoon no less, that highlights how sucking at something is the first step in the process of being good at that thing.

Gabi was tuning into a workshop about building your personal brand. The speaker said something that really caught her attention. "There are two types of people in the world..." We all have gifts and how we use them matters, which type of person will you be today?

Gabi has been working on her tuck balance for Animal Flow for a while. Progress is slow, but it's a process. And it's important to understand that results come with patience and perseverance.

It is so easy to look at other people (especially with social media) and put ourselves down by thinking, "I could never do that." In this episode, Gabi shares her thoughts on practice and how anybody can do anything.

Today, Gabi and Katie share a recent quote that struck both of them as fitting given our current season. They share their tips for how they don't let external things weigh them down.

In this episode, Gabi discusses failure. We often value perfection and success, which causes us to miss out on the process.

Injuries are a fact for many athletes and Gabi has dealt with her fair share. Gabi shares her tips for how you should handle an injury and not have to stop completely working out. Disclaimer: Not all injuries are the same, so do what's best for you after consulting a medical professional.
