Aspire Athletics Is Back!

You may have noticed a change to the gym page. What was Embody Strength and Wellness is now Aspire Athletics.

I knew for a very long time that I wanted to open a space in the fitness and wellness world that focused on community, togetherness, and empowerment.

I struggled, and still do, with anxiety and a lack of confidence for years. The only thing that truly quieted my mind was fitness. It was the one avenue I could fully rely on to pull me out of my own head. It didn’t just quiet my mind, it gave me confidence. It gave me the confidence to reclaim myself after years of trying to be someone I was not.

Fitness, and the people I met within the fitness space, changed my life.

For that very reason, I wanted to open a spot of my own one day. Long story short, the opportunity presented itself far before I was ready, but I took a leap of faith anyway. That leap became Aspire Athletics, at 4100 Aurora Ave N.

Aspire wasn’t exactly what I had dreamed of when I pictured my future, but it has taught me so much over the years, about myself and about other people, the good, the bad, and the ugly. There have been many times I grappled with the thought of changing the concept entirely or shutting the operation down, but this place has my blood, sweat, and tears in it.

A little over two years ago, Aspire went through a rebrand and became Embody Strength and Wellness.

The time has come for Aspire Athletics to return to its roots. So here we are. Aspire Athletics is back.

It is a place to train hard. It’s not fancy, but it has accumulated a wide array of equipment over the years that makes it a special place to train.

It is a place for community. It’s a gathering spot for like-minded people who want to train hard, people who want to better themselves, and people who simply want a space to move their bodies however they want to.

Our world could use more places that give people a sense of community, togetherness, and belonging, and I will do everything in my power to make Aspire Athletics exactly that.
