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.

Your body isn't the same as it was 5 or 10 years ago—and it won't be the same 5 or 10 years from now. Age, injury, career shifts, family demands, and recovery needs all affect how you move and teach.

But here's what most fitness professionals miss: adapting through these changes isn't about losing your edge—it's about gaining longevity, wisdom, and sustainable impact.

In this essential episode of Group X Appeal, Kimberly and Terry tackle the reality every fitness pro and enthusiast eventually faces: how to keep moving, teaching, and thriving when your body demands something different than it used to.

What strategies allow you to maintain intensity while honoring recovery? How do you create inclusive classes without losing energy and flow? And most importantly, how do you build a movement practice—and teaching career—that lasts decades instead of years?

Discover the framework for recognizing life phase shifts before they sideline you, the empathy-driven teaching approach that builds fierce loyalty, and the mindset that transforms adaptation from limitation into your greatest competitive advantage.

Whether you're a seasoned instructor noticing changes, a newer professional planning ahead, or a participant wondering how to stay active through life's transitions, this conversation delivers practical strategies and permission to evolve with grace.

Because thriving through change isn't luck—it's intention, strategy, and the courage to embrace what each season brings.

You became a fitness professional to make an impact, but here's the reality: teaching more classes isn't always the answer to financial stability—and it's most often not physically sustainable long-term.

What if there were ways to increase your income, deepen your influence, and scale your expertise without burning out or sacrificing your body in the process?

In this game-changing episode of Group X Appeal, Kimberly and Terry reveal something most instructors never consider: your expertise is worth far more than just the classes you teach and clients you train.

Discover five strategic income streams that allow fitness professionals to create financial stability, expand their professional impact, and build a career that doesn't depend solely on how many hours you can physically perform.

Whether you're feeling the physical toll of a packed teaching/training schedule, craving more financial security, or simply wanting to explore what else is possible with your skills and influence, this episode opens doors you may not have known existed. Let's explore what's possible.
