"UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS" ?

October 30, 2026 "UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS" The midpoint is a moment to check your direction not give up on your destination. After 18 years in the business of training and health and wellness, I’ve seen the same pattern: people start a six-week program hoping to lose 30, 40, even 50 pounds. The weight took months or years to gain, yet they expect it to disappear in six weeks. When the scale doesn’t match those expectations by Week 3, frustration sets in. Some people have been stepping on the scale every day for the past three weeks, hoping for a dramatic shift. When it doesn’t happen, their energy changes, excuses ....

"GIVE BIRTH TO THE NEW YOU"

October 23, 2026 "GIVE BIRTH TO THE NEW YOU" Yesterday, one of my clients made a comparison that really stayed with me. She said getting in shape going through bootcamp can feel a lot like being pregnant and giving birth. And the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. When you decide to change your health, you’re carrying the beginning of something new. A new you. At first, that change is just an idea something you’re excited about but still learning how to bring into the world. Then the real work begins. You shift your routine. You build new habits. You push through soreness, fatigue, ....

"MY PACE IS FORWARD"

October 16, 2026 "MY PACE IS FORWARD" I recently watched a blind runner cross the finish line of the Chicago Marathon with a guide beside him. As he crossed, he shared a powerful message that stayed with me: “My pace is forward.” For 26.2 miles, he couldn’t see the course. He had to trust his guide...step by step, mile by mile, to help him navigate each step toward the finish line. That kind of trust, courage, and communication is the same energy we bring into our fitness journey. At TFC, your trainers are your guides. You may not always see how far you have to go or how fast you’ll get there, but you can choose to keep moving forward. Trust the ....

“Taddalympics…18 Years Strong and growing!" ?

September 30, 2026 “Taddalympics…18 Years Strong and growing!" What a six weeks, Team Tadda! Camp 5 delivered the sweat, the laughs, the friendly competition, and enough spirit days to make our closets wonder what was going on. We rocked our crazy socks, represented our birth years and decades, showed off our sneakers, went Hawaiian, suited up as Superheroes, and turned Awareness Day into a powerful reminder that every person has a story and every cause deserves a voice. We even went backwards, brought out our medals, added a bright and energetic Neon Day Party, and gave our regular workout clothes a few well-earned days off! And then came the ....

"DON'T LET FALL MAKE YOU FALL OFF!"

September 18, 2026 "DON'T LET FALL MAKE YOU FALL OFF!" Okay, y'all… I know what time of year it is because the leaves aren't the only things starting to fall. Gym attendance starts falling too! Every year around this time, those cancellation notices start creeping in. "It's football season." "The kids are back in school." "It's getting cold." "The holidays are coming." "I'll be back in January." JANUARY?! Baby, it is SEPTEMBER! What are we doing for the next four months?! WE ARE NOT BEARS! I need y'all to understand something: Human beings do NOT have a hibernation season! We don't need to eat our way through ....

"RECOVERY IS THE NEW FLEX!"

SEPTEMBER 4, 2026 "RECOVERY IS THE NEW FLEX!" 55. Strong. Glowing. Healing. I recently posted a few pictures on social media, and the comments had me blushing like a teenager. One of my high school classmates to say I’m still “High School FINE!” And another joked, “It’s not fair that you’re aging backward!

"TAKE REJECTION WELL"

AUGUST 28, 2026 "TAKE REJECTION WELL!" Sometimes rejection really is protection. Who likes being rejected? Nobody I know. Rejection can make us feel worthless, hopeless, unaccomplished, unwanted, or simply not good enough. Whether it happens in a relationship, friendship, business opportunity, career, or even something we worked incredibly hard for, hearing “NO” can hurt. But years ago, a dear friend gave me a different way to look at rejection. She told me: “Their rejection may be your protection.” WHEW! 💜💛 The older I get, the more I understand exactly what she meant. SOMETIMES “NO” IS SAVING YOU I often pray and ....

YOUR BODY IS THE FIRST THING YOU OWN

August 21, 2026 "YOUR BODY IS THE FIRST THING YOU OWN" 💜💛 Taddalympics Week 1 — What Are Your Decisions Saying About You? As we wrap up the first week of our 18th Anniversary Taddalympics, I want to talk about something much bigger than how many pounds you lost, how fast you ran, how many calories you burned, or how many workouts you completed. I heard a quote recently that stopped me in my tracks: “When you are born, you look like your parents. When you die, you look like your decisions.” WHEW. Think about that. Your body is the first thing you own and the one thing you will be responsible for your entire life. Before the house. ....

SOMETIMES A LITTLE CHANGE IS NECESSARY

August 14, 2026 "SOMETIMES A LITTLE CHANGE IS NECESSARY" 18 Years of Tadda’s Fitness — Evolving, Improving & Still TFC As we prepare to celebrate our 18th Anniversary Boot Camp, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting. And something as simple as updating our Tadda’s Fitness logo reminded me of an important lesson: Sometimes we don’t need to change everything… but we do need to change something. For years, someone very special to TFC has handled so many of our award giveaways, T-shirts, promotional items and all the little things that help bring our brand to life. And every time she worked with our logo, a ....
