IMMERSION LOVE. 10 Feb 2009

Hey Lauren-

I just wanted to let you know that half-way through the immersion, I am still loving it.  I've started to tell my Philly friends about Lithe, so hopefully you'll get a few more clients.  One thing I appreciate about your studio, is even though I am nowhere near looking lithe, and have a lot of weight to lose,  I feel comfortable and accepted, which doesn't always happen at exercise places.  So thank you for creating a safe yet challenging space.  I'm really enjoying this month sabbatical to get started living healthier, and I don't think I'd be enjoying it as much ( even though I am really sore!) without the immersion.  

Thanks Melissa!  The one thing that we really strive for at Lithe, is combining a fabulous space with great energy and fantastic instruction without the pretense, or the granola "crunch" factor that many fitness studios have (which in my opinion, can be just as off-putting as a snobby space). I'm so glad that you're enjoying it.  Congrats!

I am in the same class as Melissa and I 100% completely agree with her sentiments! I have never played a sport in my entire life; I generally avoid anything that can at all be construed as a strenuous activity; I'm clumsy, uncoordinated, and just overall a weakling! Haha...but I decided to try and change that this year. I am so glad that I found Lithe! While it definitely has been kicking my ass, I think the overall atmosphere is amazing! Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and supportive! I am in love!

HaHa so I thought I was the only one...obviously not.
Lauren, I think immersion is a great idea! I've been to other places and they don't have this beginners course which usually leaves me feeling desperate to fit-in! Our first hardcore workout was Monday and although I really thought my legs would fail somewhere around 15th and locust as I walked home, I was glad that I did better on some techniques than I did last week (not that windmill-ish thing, but all in time) ;)

I've been bragging to everyone...and probably annoying a lot of them. Lithe is great!
