There’s a lyric in Hamilton I (Jeana) can’t stop thinking about:
“Teach them how to say goodbye.”
After nearly 14 years of building aSweatLife, 2026 will be our final full year with me as the leader.
When all of this started, I was lonely. I was miserable at a PR job where I felt trapped. I was looking for community in the gyms and studios that I explored through aSweatLife.com. Through all of the ups and downs over these years - the early mornings, the fitness festivals, the trips across the country with a team that was like a family, the COVID of it all - I found it.
It was in the people around me who asked for more, asked for help, offered to show up for me, and offered to show up for each other. I don’t doubt that the community that was formed here will continue in its own way after my time at the helm is complete. What that looks like will unfold over time, but the spirit of aSweatLife will live far beyond any one person or platform.
Not as an ending, but as a celebration.
This year includes:
💦 one last Sweatworking Week
🏆 a full year of Studio of the Month features
🌿 an aSweatLife retreat at @petiteacres
🤍 community gatherings all year
✨ and a season of throwbacks, stories, and love letters to what we’ve built together
Some chapters don’t close quietly. They close with gratitude, sweat, laughter, and a lot of heart.
This is our #OneLastTime 🤍
