Meet Angi McClure
How my journey began
I was in pain at the ripe age of 27. Teaching incredibly high-intensity fitness classes, I felt terrible. I may have looked strong but I was fatigued and often uncomfortable in my movement.
I remember one day, squatting down to pick up some shoes and suddenly I couldn’t get back up. My knees simply said ‘no’.
I sat in that dark little closet, unable to move out of fear that I would truly damage something if I ‘pushed’ through the pain. It was in that painful moment that I made a wonderful decision.
This youth culture of fitness had to change. At the time I was living in NYC teaching at some of the top elite clubs teaching 8 days a week. Yup, I said it correctly.
I was also studying Chinese Medicine and Movement Therapy at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine where I I learned we don’t need to be ‘fit to move’. We need to learn to move well to age well and experience life without pain. My studies in Chinese Medicine taught me that our western culture only supports YANG movement. But what about the YIN? How can one balance YIN/YANG into fitness?
I have had the privilege of working with students who were 50 years my senior and I’ve learned that regardless of strength and agility, age plays a role in our movement. When unexpected circumstances leave us broken, less mobile and/or facing surgery - I wanted to create a platform for people to know that there’s still hope for our bodies.
Age is just a number. What you’ve been doing with those years is what counts!
Move today for tomorrow.
“My fitness goal? I want to be 90 years old and capable of standing while putting on my underwear. It sounds funny, but if you’ve stopped tying your shoe laces while standing… you’ve already set the path towards how you’re going to move as you age.” - Angi McClure
