#ForzaFam, it’s been a while since I wrote. It’s been a strange time as you know. Honestly 2020 has been surreal. Most days I wake up in complete shock. My focus has been configuring online classes for our clients and now it seems we’ve been flowing through this new norm for some time. Anyway, let’s catch up…

You see back in 2013, a majority of our clients were “snow birds”. Their vacation included training with us. Many wanted to keep going on their programs even after summer. So I established “face time training”. They knew our faces and our lingo, and we knew their body and it’s tendencies. It was a service I was really comfortable offering as we continued to exceed results, and keep those on our Forza Fitness plan. Point being: we’ve been training online since 2013, it’s nothing new for us! So the transition for our entire training clientele and group training was easy. Well let’s say simple (hehe!) I had a lot of explainin’ to do with some of my favorites over 70!! … Our classes on the other hand was new to the online world. It’s safe to say not many have boxing bags or aerial yoga hammocks in their homes. So, we decided you can wait until we open for that… but offer body weight 30 minute classes that are all levels, functional, empowering and fun! We’ve created an easy way for you to get and stay in shape wherever you are with our 3 levels of service.

Though it seems our ForzaFam has come together virtually, the devastation of Covid19 is a hard pill to swallow. With some of the hardest hit areas being very close to where I grew up and currently have family, there’s this underlying fear I hold onto daily. I wanted to help! So I teamed up with my mom who lives in Chelsea, NY for a donation Online Bootcamp & Yoga Flow Class. Together, we exceeded our goal and had an overwhelming donation of $780!!! This allowed a 3rd generation family owned market since 1915 Butterfield Market and Catering to provide lunch to heroes at NYU Langone Health!!!!… With the extra money we were able to feed lunch to heroes at Valley Health System with the help of friends at Francesca Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta!!!! Over 100 essential workers who put their life on the line everyday were able to get a nice healthy lunch from a #local small biz!!

I pray for the health and safety of our community and for our world. Thank you to all the health care workers across the world who put their own health and lives on the line. Thank you for all who chose to #stayhome and follow guidelines to protect our beautiful world. From my home to yours, “this too shall pass” and we will be stronger because of it. We will be more conscious of the importance of our health. I’d like to remind you, just showing up (digitally) is more than enough! If there’s anything that the #ForzaFam can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out… 🙏

With gratitude, love, peace & strength, Lorelle
