Favorite Bible Verse: Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (NIV)
Favorite SoulfulSONG: A favorite song…psssh…too many to choose from. I have always loved the words and sound to ‘I’ll Find you’.
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“SoulfulMOTION drew me in. It was a combo of fun, fitness, and worship, some of my biggest passions in life. The community was infectious with love and laughter and I wanted to be a part of it. I had been struggling with the loss of my dad and hadn’t prayed (with any meaning or heart) for over a year. I was lost. Soulful was a place where you were welcomed no matter what you were going through in life, what you looked like, or where you were on your journey with God. With the conversation, movement, music, and care of the leaders and participants, I began praying again. It took time, prayer, and a leap of faith, but God led me to become a leader of this amazing Soulful family. God is good ALL THE TIME, all the time GOD IS GOOD.”

Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“Well, I was at the height of my fitness career teaching a different format of fitness. I felt God really calling me to start a group fitness class that combined worship, fitness, and Christian music. After having my first baby and being home with him, SoulfulMOTION was born. This journey has been the light of my life, and I’m grateful to God for planting this amazing seed in my heart. ”

Favorite SoulfulSONG: Fearless by Jonathan Nelson, featuring Da’T.R.U.T.H.
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“Over the past several years, I have come to realize that movement is such a blessing and that exercise should be a celebration of what our bodies can do instead of a punishment for how they look. I want help other women learn to love the bodies they are in right now. I love that SoulfulMOTION offers options for every body, and everyone is welcome at the same class, regardless of age, shape, or ability. And I love the opportunity to worship the Lord through movement.”

Favorite SoulfulSONG: HOW DO I CHOOSE?!?
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“I became a SoulfulMOTION instructor for most because I believed in Amber.

The atmosphere is warm, inviting and contagious! I absolutely love how the community pockets grow and evolve with each new member, location and instructor. It’s been a gift to watch this become a beacon of light to so many.”

Favorite Bible Verse: I have many favorite Bible verses, but one that is meaningful right now for me is Micah 6:8: “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.”
Favorite SoulfulSONG: There’s no way I can pick one! It depends on the day. For words: I always love “God’s Got It” by J. Moss. For fun: “You Can’t Stop Me” by Andy Mineo.
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“I became a SoulfulMOTION instructor because the first time I attended a class, I was hooked! Everything – the workout, the music, the sense of community – just spoke to me. I went through the training and then Covid hit so I was teaching classes virtually from home, alone. I am definitely a “group exerciser” so I was certain I wouldn’t stick with it. But God! During that period of isolation, so many in the SoulfulMOTION community continued to (virtually) “attend” classes, pray for, and encourage each other. Once Covid restrictions were lifted, it was so sweet to be able to meet in person with my newfound SoulfulMOTION “family”. The great workout drew me in, the awesome leadership team, fellow instructors, and community keeps me here! I love my SoulfulMOTION family!”

Favorite Bible Verse: Isaiah 43:1-3: “But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place. (NLT)
Favorite SoulfulSONG: Miracles by KB & Lecrae, or King Jesus by a lot of people. Way too hard to just pick one!

Lights Go Out by KB ft. Blanca & Justin Ebach
Crowns & Thorns (Oceans) by KB
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“There are so many reasons why I love SoulfulMOTION, but I became a SoulfulMOTION instructor to be able to create a space where all people can move their bodies and worship. Although yes, you will get an amazing workout at a SoulfulMOTION class, it is so much more than just a workout class. You also build relationships, create community, and have an amazing time of praise & worship! My biggest hope is that each class creates an atmosphere where others will be freed to connect with God and find that movement is worship.”

Favorite SoulfulSONG: Sooo many, but Miracles by KB & Lecrae
Why I became a SoulfulMOTION Fitness Instructor:
“I love being able to move my body! I set out to move my body just a little after being diagnosed with Lupus SLE in 2020. This diagnosis gave me so many restrictions, but I knew I had to move my body some kind of way, after recovering. I enjoyed different fitness and dance fitness classes, and wanted to try something else. One of my close friends suggested I check out SoulfulMOTION. I attended a SoulfulMOTION demo class at the Downtown YMCA in Grand Rapids, MI maybe in 2019. It was so good, and I was exhausted; my legs felt like noodles trying to walk down those YMCA stairs, however, I was willing to go again because I left feeling inspired, seen, and motivated to attend another class. There was no shame, no judgments, just a group of people trying to move their bodies at different levels, from beginners to advanced. I wanted to become an instructor to keep moving my body, having fun, and being able to praise and worship God at the same time was icing on the cake! Every class I was taking prior to SoulfulMOTION was God’s way in preparing me for becoming an instructor. God had a plan for me and I needed to go through the process regardless of the results to see what He has waiting for me.”
