Many fitness professionals talk about crushing goals and hitting PRs. But what if the real magic happens when you prioritize encouragement over intensity, connection over perfection, and laughter alongside the sweat?

In this heartwarming episode of Group X Appeal, Kimberly and Terry welcome Lindsay Avery—a Midwest-raised mom of three, group fitness instructor, and coach who's redefining what it means to lead with authenticity.

Lindsay doesn't teach from a pedestal—she trains alongside her members, meeting them exactly where they are. Her philosophy? Burpees may be optional, but encouragement is mandatory.

Discover how she creates spaces where people feel truly seen, builds strength from the inside out, and transforms classes into communities where showing up on hard days matters more than perfect form.

Whether you're an instructor seeking inspiration to lead more authentically or a fitness enthusiast tired of the perfection-obsessed culture, Lindsay's approach will remind you that fitness is about community, consistency, and compassion—not just the workout.

Ready to meet a coach who proves strength is built through connection? This episode delivers heart, humor, and the kind of encouragement we all need.
