Scorch Community

💙...and that concludes another successful Scorch Ignite program with teens from Girls Inc. of Sarasota!

We spent the last 2 months growing together, getting stronger and learning about how to support each other in the process.

We beat discouragement, fatigue, motivation and came out the other side. Many had never touched a barbell before or been in a gym and by the end were feeling confident and excited. Well, sometimes 😉.

We truly love seeing what fitness and community can do to young minds and hearts. We are so grateful to serve the youth in our community!

Another thank you to one of our biggest champions, Krystel Beall, for providing workout gear for the girls this session 💙

High-fives are a great gesture of respect and celebration. Double high-fives are even better!

There is so much truth in this statement...

Self-care is any activity that you do in order to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. Self-care is very important to living a balanced life.

Nothing like a sore tummy from laughing so hard or finishing a Scorch workout!! Which one was it?

The day you start believing in yourself is the day when everything changes.

Shocking, but true....The Ignite Program strives to break this statistic.

Did you know the benefits of exercise for a teenager's mental health?

⇒ Positively impacts levels of serotonin, a chemical that helps regulate mental health.

⇒ Releases endorphins, the body's natural "happy chemicals."

⇒ Lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

⇒ Stimulates the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which improves mood.

⇒ Increases self-esteem and body positivity.

⇒ Helps teens get a better nights sleep.

Every child should have equal access to achieve their full potential.

It is important that our youth has opportunities, encouragement, and most importantly- access to physical & mental health activities. 𝙒𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙗𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨.
