Hi!

My name is Lacy and I have been an athlete since I was a child. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY but grew up in rural Kansas, on a dairy farm, no less. The importance of hard work and physical labor were engrained when I was small and those values still hold true today. 

 

Even though exercise and sports have always came natural to me, I have continuously struggled with comparing my abilities. The fear of failure or making a fool of myself is always in the back of my mind. I remember when I was young my mom signed me up for my first team sport, volleyball, and I cried my eyes out. I was so afraid to play on a team and end up being embarrassed because I wasn't as good as the other kids. We look back and laugh at it today, but it was a genuine fear, one that I still struggle with.

​

I created Lacefit for people who may have the same fears. The hesitation to try a class or video because you are afraid you may fail or feel embarrassed. The stress of worrying if you will look silly around all the gym regulars, or even in your own home, is a huge and real obstacle for many people who would otherwise try something new. 

​

It is my mission to provide an open and positive space for anyone to feel comfortable. When there is no judgment, you are able to put your defenses down and ultimately finally do the activities that will build a healthier you. There is courage in trying something new, and I admire the intention to learn and improve.

​

Personally, I think that the "things" that stop us from reaching our fitness goals are almost entirely mental. The constant struggle of finding reasons, setting goals, making excuses, regretting those excuses, feeling not good enough, then trying to re-make the goals, re-think the reasons...etc. It's exhausting and you haven't even worked out yet!

​

With Lacefit you will feel empowered rather than intimidated, inspired rather than defeated and balanced instead of conflicted. I strive to make fitness, available to everyone and open the door to a happier and healthier you! Well, I'll knock but you have to answer! 

 

Thank you so much. And thank yourself for taking the first step in a new fitness routine!
