Life is a series of countdowns.
What truly matters is what you choose to do in between them.
“So let’s take it from the top…5, 6, 7, 8!'
THE VINYL RECORD played on my parents’ stereo, and like always, I was performing for my little sister (who I forced to watch me, of course). The Broadway soundtrack of “A Chorus Line" was my muse and my manifesto. I had just seen the show and found my own version of "the music and the mirror:” Now a young girl of twelve was finding herself and her dreams…
My goal wasn’t to become a celebrated Broadway performer, but rather to create a life where, every day, I could put on music, start to move, and instantly FEEL an incredible connection to my spirit - physically, mentally and emotionally. Within a few minutes I would feel so much better than when I began. I knew I wanted this kind of connection always. Also, as a born leader, I knew from the start that I was able to ignite this energy within others simply by playing music and encouraging others to follow me, so it was a natural progression for me to become a teacher.
Breath and sweat are the doorways to the heart.
With music as the catalyst, we are able to shut down the noise of our minds and let go of our negative thoughts. Once we practice letting go, we can experience what we are all meant to feel - which is joy. New York born, Long Island bred, I believe in living a quiet, balanced life of daily rituals and moments of gratitude. I have been happily married to my first love for 31 years and we have two grown boys and a senior dog. Family is everything to me.
I CREATE dynamic, fun & effective workouts…
I AM INSPIRED by transparency, strength, kindness, inclusivity, authenticity, vulnerability, consistency and wisdom. I like a firm handshake with direct eye contact. Having a sense of humour is the key to a good life. Figure out what we love and then find a way to do that as much as we can. It’s the small everyday moments and rituals that matter. At the end of the day it's all about our people, our animals - Cherish them. Let go of things we can’t control…. Think it, forget it - Text it, regret it…. Whatever is meant for us will never miss us…. If it comes, let it. if it goes, let it.
I AM a fitness, wellness, beauty, foodie & health enthusiast - an obsessive book reading, a get-you-moving cheerleader, an always stretching dancer, a music playing and singing along car driving, an outdoor fitness hiking/biking, and lover of beaches, mountains and trees.
I’VE BEEN a group fitness instructor, a wellness industry leader and a fitness director, a gym consultant, personal trainer, fitness coach, and now a badass mompreneur with my very own fitness company!
I WILL ALWAYS BE a soul-igniting, dog-cuddling, coffee drinking, salad eating, book reading, sunset-chasing, belt it-in the shower-singing, wake-up-whistling, spontaneous-fun-seizing citizen of possibility. The FeliciaBGoodEnergy FitCrew Community is the best of everything I have ever dreamed a workout class could be. We are close, supportive and loyal and we are really there for one another. All the while remaining open and welcoming to all the new friends that join us each day!
