Luck is something everyone wants, most claim they don’t have, and is extra desirable in March. It’s that little bit of good fortune that brings good things our way and everyone has their own idea of what “luck” is. Some believe a number has the luck they need, while others believe a rabbit’s foot does! While St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone, we believe the luck should continue all through March! Check out some of the luckiest songs out there that will [hopefully] bring good things your way.

It's more than music
When people describe SPIRE Fitness, often times the words energetic, up beat, and fun are used—especially when it comes to the music. At SPIRE we believe music is much more than background noise; music motivates us, pushes us, and helps us achieve our goals. It’s amazing how a few notes, catchy lyrics, and a great beat can make us go that extra mile. Music keeps us going and reminds us to not give up. It’s the angel on your shoulder reminding you, “you can do it!”

Tell us about yourself! Where are you from? What brought you to Milwaukee?
I am originally from Winfield, IL. I initially came to Milwaukee to go to college at Marquette, and chose to stay at Marquette for Law School because of its sports law program. I graduated in May, and now work in the legal department for the Milwaukee Brewers.
December Setlist: Baby, It's Getting Cold Outside!
Ah, December. This month brings so many great things: the holiday spirit, the new year, and extra vacation time, to spend with family and friends.

Happy Holidays: OUR 2016 REFLECTIONS
With the holiday season being in full swing, we at SPIRE wanted to take time to sit back and reflect on the joy 2016 brought us all. We have been so fortunate to be apart of the Milwaukee community, to have the clients and friends we do, and to have the ability to continuously change people’s lives.
Our SPIRE Squad was asked either what their favorite memory of the year was or what they are thankful for. Checkout their responses below!
CYCLING MOVE OF THE MONTH: THE SURGE
In plain terms, a surge is when you double your leg speed and increase resistance in short bursts. The surge is a type of high intensity interval training (HIIT), so if you’re not out of breath after a surge, you’re doing it wrong. Lucky for you the surge can be done either sitting or standing. Just make sure that you keep your perfect form because you can start to slack off once you get tired.

What brought you to SPIRE?
I used to run by the river, where I would see the Marquette team rowing. I got really interested and started looking into rowing options in Milwaukee, which is how I discovered SPIRE. My first crew class was last November with Ira, on Black Friday. I’ve been hooked ever since!
TRX CHALLENGE MOVE OF THE MONTH: Pull Ups
It's November! What better month to strengthen our bodies and focus on a new challenge!? In November we will be working the TRX Pull Up! This is an upper body movement that works the back, rear shoulders, brachialis and brachioradialis in the arms. These muscles are located near the elbow, and help move the forearm. The biceps brachii, or simply biceps, cross the elbow and shoulder joints and work to flex the elbow joint during the exercise.
