40% of small businesses fail in the first 3 years… and for us, we were nearly part of that statistic many times. But somehow, by the grace and mercy of God, we made it through.

There were countless moments when I was brought to my knees, pleading for clarity, strength, and a way forward. So many times, I felt it was too hard, that the obstacles were insurmountable. So much blood, sweat, tears, and heartache poured into this dream.

But every time I hit a breaking point, I held onto the image of this moment and heard God whisper, “Keep your eyes on me. You might have to bend, but I promise you won’t break.”

One thing that never wavered was our mission: to change lives through fitness and to create a community where people can connect and belong. A constant reminder that it was God who called me to this work, to bring light and love to this community, and to trust that He would see me through.

As we close out 3 amazing years, I can’t help but reflect on the top 3 lessons this journey has taught me:
✨ Trust and listen to your intuition: It’s stronger and wiser than you’ll ever know. That inner voice is your compass—don’t ignore it.
💡 A coachable spirit is priceless: More valuable than talent or perfection is the willingness to learn, grow, and adapt.
💔 Failure happens, and that’s okay: You’ll mess up, and sometimes fail big. But if you act with truth and integrity, you’ll always win in the ways that truly matter.

Now, as we step into year 4, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead. We have a vibrant stride, a beautiful team, and the most incredible community.

To everyone who has been part of this journey—whether in big ways or small—THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You’ve made this possible. 🥂 Cheers to growth, resilience, and the power of faith. Here’s to 3 years down and so many more to come! 💪💚

✨ Grateful for YOU on Small Business Saturday! ✨

To our SPENGA Wheat Ridge family,

We opened this studio with a vision: not just to bring an amazing fitness experience to our community, but to create a space where people could connect, grow, and thrive together. It’s about more than workouts—it’s about building a community where everyone feels like they belong.

This dream wouldn’t be possible without YOU. Every time you walk through our doors—whether it’s to push yourself in class, encourage a friend, or simply stop by—you’re supporting so much more than a business. You’re helping us live out a passion for wellness, connection, and positivity.

Small businesses like ours are built on the love and support of people like you who choose to invest in something local, meaningful, and real. You’re not just members to us—you’re family.

Thank you for making SPENGA Wheat Ridge the inspiring community it is today. We’re so grateful to share this journey with you and can’t wait to keep sweating, growing, and celebrating together! 💚
