So I've been on/off my workout journey for years on some lose weight quick schemes. I had lipo & breast reduction about 5 years ago & still wasn't satisfied. Even was about to try Ozempic last year and my brother didn't approve. I can remember Jook telling me about Hot Worx & how much you sweat within a 15 min session. He booked my first session & I was hooked ever since. Mane Mane begin to have health issues & was recommended that he get in the gym. I became his accountability partner. It became apart of our routine. Life happened & he's no longer here w/ us. 🥹 Everything after his death that I tried to do to cope made me more depressed. I finally got back in the gym remembering our gym dates every single time I stepped inside. Jook was actively helping me through my grieving process. I was processing it the best way I knew how.Â
Boom life happened again & my brother is no longer by my side. Many many questions specifically asking God why would he do this to me again? Fast forward to now, Exercise has become my Fix...not knocking any other regimens bc I still do therapy, I still vent, I still have my village & support system, but working out truly does it for me. And with Hot Worx it's so hot they don't know if I'm crying or sweating when I come out 😂 I turn my music on, I let it out while working out & then I finish my day. Every single day is a win. Every single day is a struggle, every single day I grieve & I miss them both. But I decided to turn my pain into purpose. I relate working out to them bc Jook introduced me and Mane Mane was my workout partner. The ultimate goal of grief & mourning is to take you beyond your initial reactions to the loss. The therapeutic purpose of grief & mourning is to get you to the place where you can live with the loss in a healthy way. Showing up everyday, continuing the legacy, holding everything around me down is what they would both want from me & I aim to make them proud daily. Exercise isn't about losing weight anymore for me it's for my mental health. It's actively helping me deal with the 2 hardest things I faced in life. When I miss the gym my entire day & mood is thrown off. So it was only right to release this workout line because it's so much bigger than the narrative. Plus when you look good you feel good. I need everyone to go shop my "Rich Fit" workout sets. We also have headbands and water bottles. This was a lifestyle change for me, start yours now!! Â
