7 Day Challenge Day 4 - TGIF :)
I really can't believe the weekend is here. The entire week has been a bit of a whirlwind. Today is actually a very special day because we will be leading the first official Shazzy Fitness class at a church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Since releasing the video, people have been asking us, "Where can I take a class?".
Move, Groove, Amen. 7 Day Challenge - Day 5: Bring it!
Ok it's Day 5 now and I don't know about you, but I've started to notice that even I'm a bit slow getting started with the workout (cause I'm the best procrastinator on the planet), once I'm finished with the workout I'm actually ready to do more. I mean, it doesn't just get my heart pumping, but the moves and music and the choreography are challenging enough so that I don't get bored but also not so hard that I get totally frustrated.
Challenge Day 3: What's in a name
We already at Day 3. What an incredible 2 days its been! After our Twitter party I knew I needed to stay up late to finish up a few things. Instead of drinking my usual cup of coffee, I ended the evening with a quick Victory workout. Who needs coffee when you have the Victory? It was the perfect energy boost!
In the Beginning DVD- Genesis workout - One down...
The first day of our challenge has come to an end. What a day it has been! I knew we had an amazing team of participants but to see such enthusiasm across all social media channels - it has simply been amazing.
We’re just getting started.
On Monday January 13, 2014, we made our television debut on ‘Atlanta and Company After Noon’ with host Rashan Ali. No surprise - Team Shazzy was incredible, as always. Our newest dancers – Coty and Kristin - fit right in, as if they’d been on with us forever. I say "us", but our choreographers and the dancers really do all the work. Two years later and I still stand in awe about how God brought us all together.
And so it begins
My name is Kristy. I have always loved music and always wished I could dance. I mean REALLY dance - like Michael or Janet or Usher. Alas, that is not my gift. I’ve been tall all my life – when your dad is 6’6 you almost have to be – yet despite being urged my entire youth to play sports, any sport, I never really wanted to pursue it. Playing a sport just didn’t appeal to me and facing the reality of messing up my hair on a regular basis pretty much sealed it – no sports for this girl. ...

It's been a long time.
You could say that we’ve been kinda busy LOL. 2014 began with a bang – our first television appearance, still to this day it was the first time we’ve actually performed a routine on-screen. That was a really incredible experience. It was my first time being on TV – first time being interviewed on TV – and I was SOOOO nervous!
This is the day which the Lord has made!
The day has FINALLY arrived. After weeks of planning and anticipation, the Move. Groove. Amen challenge is HERE. We have challenged participants from all over the country to dance with us, just a few minutes each day, for 7 days in a row. We purposely chose the first day of Lent to begin this event since it is historically a time of spiritual renewal and reflection for many Christians worldwide. What better time to re-commit to keeping our temples healthy and fit?
As for me, I have a con...
Challenge Day 6: Exercise Your Faith
I am often asked how I came up with idea, what was the inspiration for Shazzy Fitness. Of course, I have to give all glory and honor to God. I'm really not sure exactly when I began to think that I might actually start a business. That came many, many years after the concept was revealed to me. I never wanted to be an entrepreneur. It seemed way too risky, way too unpredictable.
Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle - March is National Nutrition Month!
Did you know that March was National Nutrition Month? Actually until I jumped into this business 3 years ago, I really had no idea that there was such a public push for awareness and support of healthy lifestyles.
Challenge Day 2: We've got the VICTORY!
Today's workout is the VICTORY workout. This workout contains one of the fan faves - a Bollywood inspired routine that is probably one of the most talked about routines on the DVD. It has a lot of repetition, which makes it fairly easy to learn - but the moves are deceivingly intense.
Water Wednesdays - Are you with me?
I must admit that my water consumption has gone through various stages in my life. There was a time when I virtually drank no water, then a time when all I drank was water. Eventually I started back to drinking other beverages though and it's been a sort of seesaw for me ever since.
From everyone here at Team Shazzy, we say thank you :)
Hi! I'm Kristy, CEO of Shazzy Fitness. Congratulations on making it to the end of the Move, Groove, Amen 7 Day Challenge! We are SO excited to hear about all the workouts you each chose to do on the last day AND how that bonus workout went!!

Our blessings from the kids at Youth 2015 - Romans 1:16
June was certainly a big month for us. We had been blessed with the opportunity to minister through song and dance at the National United Methodist Youth Conference in Orlando, Florida (http://www.youth2015.org).
Christian Hip-Hop: It really is OK
When the idea of Shazzy Fitness first started to form in my mind, I knew I needed to learn a lot, do a lot of research, and of course, have a lot of faith. At the core of the business concept was this hole that I saw in the fitness industry. It as a hole that wasn’t new or unknown, but for some reason had seemed to be ignored, at least thus far. The notion that music and fitness were a perfect match wasn’t by any means new...

3 things you must do when God says "RUN" but your laces are untied
Ever felt like God was leading you to do something, but despite your planning, prepping, practicing and praying, you still felt overwhelmed, overworked and well.. just not plain ready!
A Near Death Experience - Entrepreneurship ain't Easy
I saw a quote recently in an article about entrepreneurship. I was drawn to the article because the author was a woman - and these days seeing another female who can relate to the day to day struggles of running a business is usually enough to get a click from me.
Betting on God: Why I risked it all for Shazzy Fitness
I can’t honestly say why I risked it all. There was no burning bush, no lightning bolts. No apparitions and no voices in my head.
Imperfection is the New Black - What I learned from 2 Corinthians 12:9
The past 30 days has been a whirlwind for us. The 3 of us - myself, Vera and Apollo - lead what many would refer to as insanely busy lives. Apollo and Vera both have very active careers outside of Shazzy Fitness, and it is only by God's grace that we are always somehow able to find a way to get our schedules in sync when necessary.
Thank you Shazzy Instructors: How amazing God is!
One of the biggest accomplishments of this year was the launch our instructor certification program. I am still quite honestly in awe of the women who have chosen to become part of our team.
Born to Dance: My Conversation with Vera Rose
As many early mornings and late nights that we've spent planning, rehearsing, filming, creating ... well, you'd think we'd know everything about each other by now! Strangely enough, although we all agree that Team Shazzy is like family now, there are many times when we still find ourselves very much still getting to know each other. Last month, I had a chance to sit down and talk to Vera Rose about her decision to become a professional dancer and choreographer. We'd spoken about it a few mon...

Shazzy Thinks Pink in 2016
It's been just over a year now, since we launched our instructor certification training. I must say that God continues to move in ways that we could've never imagined. We had no idea at that time, if anyone would really understand what we do, let alone decide to join us on this journey of faith. One year later, we have grown from a team with less than a handful of instructors to almost 100.

We've posted much about our trip to Cleveland. How our car stopped on the way - how 3 people, from out of nowhere, stopped to help us - and how we had such an amazing time there.
Top 10 Moments of 2015: #8 - Nonprofit Trinity Awards
This was a first for us ... being asked to perform as the opening acts to a local awards ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia. I think our team did a phenomenal job. We pulled together the dance team and choreography within 4 days but if you saw the show on stage, you'd think we'd rehearsed for months.
