Dimensions of Wellness

Creating a Health Bank Account

In Dimensions of Wellness, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, March 5, 2019  •  
If you spend any amount of time on the interwebs, and you’re here, so I’m going to assume you do… you will know that for every single fitness/exercise/wellness blogger out there, there is a corresponding “program” that they like to encourage their readers to try....

Relative Minimalism

In Dimensions of Wellness  •  by Melissa, February 5, 2019  •  
Minimalism is a wellness trend that results in some pretty strong feelings. Both for and against. After our friends and family and jobs, many of us define ourselves by our stuff. What we have, how much, what brands. No judgement, it’s an easy road to...

The Comparison Monster

In Body Positivity, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, January 29, 2019  •  
We are nearing the end of the first month of the year and this is the time that every health club manager and gym goer notices attrition. The past two weeks I’ve spent some time talking about practical methods to keep motivation high and stay...

In Dimensions of Wellness  •  by Melissa, November 28, 2018  •

Fitness Looks Different on Every Body – Body Positivity

In Body Positivity, Dimensions of Wellness  •  by Melissa, November 7, 2018  •  
A few weeks ago, Kelli and Daniel over at Fitness Blender posted a quote on their Instagram account. “Fitness looks different on every body.” Six words. I live and work in this crazy fitness and wellness world and that simple statement really got me thinking....

Halloween for the Wellness Win!

In Dimensions of Wellness  •  by Melissa, October 31, 2018  •  
Happy Halloween friends! It may seem strange that a wellness blogger is talking about Halloween, but I am about to make the case for why Halloween and wellness go together like ghosts and goblins.

Good and Bad

In Dimensions of Wellness, Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, August 29, 2018  •  
How many of you out there in internetland saw this? And how many of you then saw this? Ah, claims and backlash, the bread and butter (coconut oil?!?!) of the internet. The health claims about coconut oil are nothing particularly new. For several years now,...

Thunder Thighs Fights Back, Why My Body Rocks

In Body Positivity  •  by Melissa, August 8, 2018  •

A Difficult Relationship with Body Positivity, Image, and Love

In Body Positivity  •  by Melissa, August 1, 2018  •
