Why You Might Cry in Class (And Why That’s Actually a Good Thing)

July 9, 2025

You come in expecting sweat, movement, maybe even a little community time. But halfway through a Therapy track in cycle, or during a breathwork moment, or just after the music drops… suddenly, you feel your throat catch. Your chest tightens. And without warning, there are tears.

If this has happened to you in class, you’re not alone. And no, you’re not broken.

The Wellness Trap: Are You Actually Feeling Better, or Just Doing More?

June 4, 2025

If you’ve ever felt that keeping up with your wellness routine is starting to feel like a full-time job, you’re not alone. Many of us load our days with healthy habits, whether it be journalling, meditation, 10-step morning routines or endless supplements. All in pursuit of feeling better.

For many, wellness has started to feel like a full-time job. And as a result, people are burning out in the name of self-care.

So this month we explore the question.

Are you actually feeling better from your wellness routine? Or are you just doing more?

Stop Blaming Cortisol: The Real Story Behind Exercise and Stress

May 8, 2025

You may have heard that doing a tough workout will send your body into “fight-or-flight,” spiking cortisol, causing weight gain or burnout. Recently I have seen many fitness and wellness influencers (and professionals for that matter) discourage people from participating in higher intensity workouts, claiming “intense workouts can spike cortisol and ruin your hormones!” But this is a massive misunderstanding of how cortisol actually works and in a world where there are already so many barriers to people moving their body, only creates more fear and confusion around exercise.

In this post, we’ll kick things off by looking at some of the myths surrounding cortisol, then for those who want to go deeper, explore cortisol’s true role, how exercise affects it, and why vigorous workouts (even for women) are more friend than foe.

Your Strength is Found in Stillness

April 2, 2025

We’re often told that strength looks like intensity.
It sounds like loud music, hard breath, big lifts, heavy sweat.

And sometimes, it is.

But what if I told you that strength isn’t always fast, or loud, or aggressive?
But can be steady, slow and even still?

The Healing Vibes of Sound: Why We End Breathwork with Sound Healing

March 7, 2025

At Therapy Fitness, we’re all about blending movement, mindfulness, and mental health into a holistic experience. One of our favorite ways to do this? Sound healing. Picture this: you’ve just flowed through a breathwork class, and as you settle in, the gentle hum of a crystal singing bowl, the rhythmic beat of a drum, or the soothing tones of singing fill the space. It’s not just a session close. it’s science, soul, and a key part of our breathwork experience.

So, why do we end our breathwork sessions with sound healing? Let’s explore the healing vibes of sound and how they deepen your time at Therapy Fitness.
