Since then it grew and evolved into the uber active supportive community of the premier stroller fitness classes that not only a fantastic workout, but also an incredible community. YOU worked hard at not only becoming outstanding Moms, but also incredible athletes and for a few incredible franchise owners. You have done thousands of jumping jacks, planks, bicep curls, lunges, airplanes and running races. To know we all worked so hard together to cheer one another on in every athletic endeavor, and every new baby born is priceless. As I move on and back to the Bay Area, I look forward to hearing of the stories about class feats, outstanding Moms, and new adventures you have done. Enjoy growing your new communities within Baby Boot Camp, have fun with the new instructors, and challenge one another each day. Set goals to go to class at least 3-5x/week during the holidays and the new year to come...get into the best shape possible and have fun with the premier team of franchise owners- Gina, Kristine, Linda, Sharon, Stephanie, Suzy and Trisha.<br />

it you guys gave me an even bigger gift with your time to write<br />
something about why you enjoyed Baby Boot Camp, training with my silly<br />
self, training with the entire team of rockstar instructors and newfound<br />
athletic selves. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.<br />

I love and adore all of you and thank you for being YOU.<br />

I was one to be excited for the new school year, but also was a bit nervous of the changes that it could bring.

I started Baby Boot Camp when Makenzie was shy of one, and now on September 8th, I will be walking her to Kindergarten. Time flies! When I began, I had no idea what lie ahead but jumped into the adventure with both feet. We had only lived in Portland for 8 months and I knew a handful of people. Now here I am searching through my folders of Baby Boot Camp information, but keep catching myself sorting through the photos. The real reason why I worked so hard building my business- YOU!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">YOU had faith that a class allowing you to exercise with your child was a great fit for your lifestyle. YOU had hopes that this short spitfire would put you through a workout, but also work with your various needs and keep you challenged. YOU had openness and excitement to try new exercises and drills making you look silly, but feel incredible and energized. YOU had hopes of classes meeting your needs and opened yourself up to exercising in a group instead of solo. YOU truly kept me determined to work and keep classes going despite unexpected challenges with locations, rental increases, or wild weather conditions. I am beyond grateful for YOU.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Now it is time for a new change, and I am again bubbling with excitement for the next adventure. I am passing my "torch" of Baby Boot Camp Portland Metro, and will be launching my new business of small group training and boot camps. A business that will keep me on my toes in a new realm; one that allows me to work with veteran Baby Boot Campers (and their partners) who don't have babies anymore or are back to work. It will encompass workshops, fitness writing, and focus on early morning classes. A business that allows me to try a change and grow with it. I will still be teaching some classes and working with Baby Boot Camp, but am now the Director of Fitness Programming for the company. A position that allows me to help Franchise Owners further develop their knowledge of the health and fitness industry and create even more challenging and inclusive classes for YOU. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255); font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Emerson and Makenzie at Laurelhurst Park</span><br /><img name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.389" alt="Emerson and Makenzie" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs001/1101187013992/img/389.jpg?a=1102687141366" align="left" border="0" height="135" width="180" /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It is incredible when looking back over the past 4 1/2 years...I had no idea what lie ahead but was excited for the ride.

I have been challenged more than I want to be, and am excitedly awaiting my husband's return home from a Bachelor Party. I have had to bite my tongue for fear I would say something unkind, or react to fast and regret it later. But I have been pushed every which way I feel like a top spinning around and bouncing off of every surface I come into contact with. But I keep moving on...<br /><br />Now why do I write that here- my blog for Baby Boot Camp? Because I know every one of YOU have had a day like this too. You LOVE your children but are ready to buy a one-way ticket to Hawaii. You want to take a bath and have the door stay locked and know the kids understand if the door is locked it means "do not enter". You are trying to do bills without a sweet little body hopping up and attacking the keyboard in your lap. You are ready to not repeat your request 10 times before the action is done, and have it be done without a tantrum or whining. Today is a day I have to believe is a gift though....it let's me know how strong I am as a Mom and attempting to keep it together. <br /><br />I have had quite a few times today of taking 5 big breaths before my next action, using my patient voice when wanting to YELL, consoling my little ones when wanting them to come and console me as I clean up the 100th mess of the day. But I have realized also how far I have come with my two sweet girls and while today has been rough, I need these days to truly test my own comfort zone in parenting. I am grateful for every day as an active and able bodied 33 year old gal, and even more grateful for having my two little blessings. AND days like today, where I went to church with my <span style="font-style: italic;">blessings- </span>who blessing 1 whined loudly and for a looooong time she didn't have her legos with her and only had Barbies' (yes in church) and blessing 2 who tossed her pacifier two pews ahead with a loud screech, are the days I am grateful and honored to have been given them. <br /><br />My little <span style="font-style: italic;">Blessings</span> make me work harder, try harder, and understand how truly precious life is. They give me more strength to honestly be the Mom they can look up to, just as I do mine. The Mom they know loves and adores them, but also who loves and adores her life and gifts she's been given. I hope you have these days sometimes too. They truly test your patience and understanding of Motherhood, and give you the gumption to go full force and work harder at being the best person possible. Not only for your kiddos and family, but for yourself.<br /><br />Best-<br /><br />ErinUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67446833958895202.post-18204832052921590272009-08-18T16:27:00.000-07:002009-08-18T16:30:32.650-07:00What is the NEXT Dream?<span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);"><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">What is the NEXT dream?<br /><br /></span></strong></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">"YOU must do things you think you can not do"</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"> and </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">"I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him."</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">-Eleanor Roosevelt</span><br /><br /><em style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">I went to Washington DC in July with my Mom and Sister. It was my first non-work related trip away from my girls. I was excited, nervous and eager to have fun exploring DC. I have been there quite a few times when growing up, but for some reason, this trip truly had a profound impact on me. May it be that I am now a Mom to two bright and talented girls, and wasn't before. Is it because I am so passionate about health and fitness, and we are in the midst of healthcare crisis as a Nation? Is it because I am embarking on new adventures and dreams this Fall and excitedly open to the changes that lie ahead? Who knows, <span style="font-weight: bold;">but it hit me and hit me hard</span>- <span style="font-weight: bold;">you honestly have the power within to become a GREAT leader and create your own dreams. </span><br /><br />When in DC I went running a lot. It is how I explore a city and my time in the early morning to learn about the new cities sites and smells. I love people watching as I run and waving to other runners. My last run I decided to return to the Lincoln Memorial.<br /><br />I ran through the Washington Mall towards the Lincoln Memorail and my mind was racing through all the historical events that have taken place there. Mostly I was thinking about the leaders who were eager to make a change and challenge themselves to follow their hearts. It is interesting when looking back in time at those who put themselves out there did so <span style="font-weight: bold;">with guts and determination, encouraging others eyes to open and feel the intensity and passion about their various causes</span>. Be it Washington in becoming the first President in a newly independent country, Lincoln helping create a united country for everyone and abolishing slavery, Eleanor Roosevelt encouraging all to have love and respect despite their special needs, or Martin Luther King Jr. who wanted ALL to have equal rights despite their ethnicity or gender.<br /><br /><a track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=uhrt46cab.0.0.ilxy6rbab.0&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babybootcampportland.blogspot.com&id=preview" target="_blank"><img name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.377" alt="Washington DC" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs001/1101187013992/img/377.jpg?a=1102665336052" align="left" border="0" height="241" width="181" /></a>I ran to the top step in front of the Lincoln Memorial to the exact position where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood when he culminated the March on Washington with the historic "I Have A Dream" speech. I looked down the Mall at the Washington Monument and closed my eyes envisioning the thousands of people sharing in Dr. King's vision. The people who came out and needed a leader to listen to their concerns, and be the voice who could speak their words. I was beyond overcome with emotion and started to cry. The passion Dr. King and the other leaders had to not only wish for a change, but MAKE IT HAPPEN despite the unknown challenges is profound. Not everyone will put themselves out there for others, but what people don't realize is how they CAN!<br /><br />I continued my run and had a vision in my head- that of the leaders practicing the changes that need to happen for our country to be healthier. it was a comical vision of Congress and Senate in their suits doing a boot camp workout on the Mall, but I realized that IS my vision. In order for our kids to be healthy they need to see their parents model the behavior. In order for adults to be healthy they need to see the leaders of all realms of life model healthy behavior. And I am determined to make that happen...one challenge at a time.<br /><br />Thus I ask you, are you walking the walk as you talk the talk? Are you exercising daily, eating your fruits and veggies, taking time to meditate and do something for your own wellness, and are you talking positively to yourself daily? <span style="font-weight: bold;"> In order for us to implement our dreams we need to believe, and I believe you have the POWER to accomplish anything possible. </span> The hardest part is the first action of commitment, once that is done, map out your dream and make change happen. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> YOU are a great leader, but make sure to BELIEVE it TOO! </span><br /></em><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"><em><strong><img name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.378" alt="olympics 2008" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs001/1101187013992/img/378.jpg?a=1102665336052" align="left" border="0" height="150" width="200" /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);">- Erin Shirey, Baby Boot Camp Portland Metro & Baby Boot Camp Leadership Coach</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);">* after the Hulaman Triathlon 8.16.09</span></strong></em></span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67446833958895202.post-65498997192935525752009-08-18T16:26:00.000-07:002009-08-18T16:27:05.383-07:00POWER OUTDOOR FITNESS FALL FUN<div style="border-color: rgb(0, 153, 51); border-top: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 51); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 51); color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;color:#009933;" border styleclass="style_RightColHead RtHdrBorder"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#333333;" ><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;" ><b>POWER Outdoor Fitness FUN<br /></b></span></span></div> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#333333;" > </span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#333333;" >Match maker, match maker make me a wish! </span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#333333;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">POWER Outdoor Fitness - Single in the City </span><br /><img name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.240" alt="olympics 2008" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs001/1101187013992/img/240.jpg?a=1102665336052" border="0" height="94" width="240" /><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold;">Singleton Class" </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wednesdays, 6:00 pm,<br />Tennis Courts facing Japanese Garden entrance </span><br /></span></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#333333;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Many Baby Boot Campers shared that their sisters and brothers have been eager to find a hottie who can outrun them, or the Baby Boot Camp single Mamas have asked where to find a truly active guy she can have a push up contest or train for a marathon with.

It is not truly a "good bye" but "Aloha" and "Cheers to the new fun times ahead!". Sellwood was one of my first class locations and I will forever love playing in the park after class and swimming with the little ones in the pool. Good memories had, and great memories to be made for Baby Boot Camp Sellwood/Southeast!

Now I am actually sitting down to post it as I have been going non-stop the past 4 days. Tons of history, monuments, laughs with my Mom and Sister and honestly a fantastic trip…Best to you-Erin Shirey </i></b><br /><br />Hello!!<br /><br />I hope you are having a fantastic Summer and enjoying the parks as much as I am. I am writing on the plane between my big Summer trip of Sun River and Washington DC. It is my first time being solo and away from both girls for 5 nights and Emerson's first time away from either Jack or I overnight. While I miss cuddling with the kiddos on the flight, I have to admit it is nice to read a book and plan out workouts using both hands to type. Firsts are all around, and this past week was our first time in Sun River, first family trip in a canoe, Makenzie's first time on a rope swing flying into the river and my first time to have 3 mornings in 5 days to be up early and not only run but swim and bike too. I feel refreshed and energized as I am embark on what will be a busy trip of sight seeing, history learning and laughing on this girls trip with my Mom and Sister to our nation's capital. <br /><br />I am also writing to share with you another first…This Fall I will embark on the first Fall in 5 years of not being a Baby Boot Camp business owner. I have decided to start a new chapter with my life as many of you have done. I am going to focus on my kids, my training for racing, fitness writing and growing my other business, POWER Outdoor Fitness. I am going to take it year round and with doing so have decided to pass the torch for all of my Baby Boot Camp franchise. <br /><br />This is an exciting time and I am looking hard for someone to help carry on the Baby Boot Camp goals and ideal that I created 4 ½ years ago. The focus on:<br /><br />Intense and incredible Baby Boot Camp Classes<br />Strong and supportive Baby Boot Camp Community<br />Additional classes and instructors to help grow with your needs<br />Additional locations to help shorten any distance to classes<br />Fitness challenges and creative events<br />AND…continuing to nourish all of your health and fitness goals to lead you to the most active Moms possible.<br /><br />With selling I hope to still teach classes, but not own the entire business. I LOVE TEACHING and feel like it is what I do best. I am one of my only friends I know doing exactly what I said I would when in 8th grade- working with women(and men) with their self esteem through athletics. Now it is my goal to work with the new owners to gradually make changes happen for you and the future Mamas since change can be tough for some people, but so exciting! For me I think about riding bikes with Makenzie to her first day of kindergarten and being able to stay and participate. A new chapter of Elementary school and volunteering. I LOVE teaching, but that thought let me know it was time to pass the Baby Boot Camp PDX Metro torch to a person who may have tiny little ones or is ready to make a change to be with her kids.<br /><br />Baby Boot Camp gave me that gift of being with my girls each day, and I am forever grateful. There aren't many careers I know of that allow you to work WITH your children, help people reach their health and fitness goals while being role models for their kids, create support networks for not only the participants involved but the owners and instructors, own your own business with tax write offs and grow to being a top notch active community for parents. It has been a ride that not only I am, but my family is forever grateful for. When I started before Makenzie was 1 year old, Portland felt like we were visiting and "trying on the city". Now, because of Baby Boot Camp and YOU it feels like home. <br /><br />Think about when you first came to class and may have been nervous because it was new, but were excited with butterflies for the change that lied ahead?! I am looking for the right franchise owners to feel that with the excitement and joy to grow and evolve the program. North/Northeast Portland and Northwest Portland are the franchises for sell either together or in 2 units. I truly interviewing to find the right fit for all of YOU. If you have been thinking about teaching, would love to own your own business, want to work with your children and and/or have a dear for someone to see If you feel that that is you, or if it sounds like your best friend please let me know and we can talk more. <br /><br />I wish you a fantastic week and feel grateful to be teaching you and helping you reach your health and fitness goals every day. You are incredible!<br /><br />Cheers-<br /><br />Erin Shirey<br />Baby Boot Camp Leadership Coach<br />2009 Mother LOVE Fitness Challenge Cardio Champions<br />2007 Franchise Owner of the Year<br />c-503.703.1269<br />Email | erin.shirey@babybootcamp.com<br />Blog | http://www.babybootcampportland.blogspot.com<br />Twitter | http://twitter.com/runerinrun<br /><br />Baby Boot Camp®<br />Be fit.
