How To: Crack the Code on Gym Icks

My gym icks? Let’s see..

#6 Realizing that my left AirPod is dead

#5 “Mind if I work in?”

#4 Getting stuck with the treadmill that creaks like a shopping cart with one wonky wheel

#3 Choosing a mat that is still wet from the last person who used it (like is that sweat, or..)

#2 Men grunting so loud I can hear it over 21 Savage

And #1?

Constantly unlocking my phone every three reps just to see what the next move in an IG carousel workout is.

Don't get me wrong, my 'saved' section on Instagram is basically a continuous scroll of inspiration for pilates sequences or upper body strength days. Which, as an instructor, is a great way for me to diversify my classes. But, as a student…

If I’m showing up to the gym after a long day of meetings that could’ve been emails, or even utilizing the hotel gym on vacation, I know my motivation will plummet the second I have to stop every 8 reps to unlock my phone and re-examine a 2x-speed video of a lunge. Hitting pause. Missing a cue. Internet times out. The app keeps losing the video I was on when my phone locks..

Not to mention, every time I open a TikTok or Reel to see what the next move is, my re-listen of Iceman gets interrupted by whatever trending audio made the video land on my FYP in the first place.

That’s why I created TheFIRM app.

Not just to listen to Iceman without pause as I plank, squat and pulse, but for the other busy women who want to go to the gym, hit abs and ASSets, work out to verbal cues from a certified instructor, and still make it to happy hour for a ‘tini and (bedtime at) ten.

And honestly, sometimes I don’t feel like leaving my house to physically go to the gym (See #2-6 above). So, having the option to finally use the Stakt Mat I invested in and do a workout from my living room can mean the difference between finding movement and blowing it off that day.

With TheFIRM App, you can filter your workouts by time, equipment and format. Choose between a 30-min strength class using equipment you can find at the gym, or a 40-minute body weight sculpt class that will remind you coreporate burnout is a real thing.

Listen to 21 Savage or Taylor Swift.

Choose to invest in your ASSets or expand your upper body portfolio.

Where else can you pause your fitness instructor before they finish uttering the word burp**?!
