My daughter was terrified to walk into her first soccer practice. I didn’t know anyone. She wasn’t sure if she was good enough, or what her teammates thought of her.
But by the end of the hour, he was buzzing with excitement. Thanks to a coach who made sure every child felt like they belonged, supportive peers, and lots of positive reinforcement.
That moment reminded me why Nerd Fitness exists.
That spirit – to make everyone feel seen, encouraged and part of the team, no matter what their starting point is – is exactly what I think is missing from most of the fitness industry.
Too often, the gym and classes feel like competitive sports leagues – designed for people who already love working out, already feel confident, already know what they’re doing.
.
But what if you’re the “new kid” walking into your first workout at age 30…or 50…or 70? It can feel as intimidating as my nine-year-old lacing up her cleats for the first time.
At Nerd Fitness, we want to nail that script.
✅ No matter your skill level, there is a place for you here.
✅ Everyone gets “play time”
✅ The goal is not to be the best in the room – it’s to get a little better, together.
It is no accident that my daughter feels this way in her practice. The rec league we are a part of is built around this central idea:
Everyone deserves a chance to play, and everyone deserves a chance to fall in love with soccer.
Everything in the league, from the administration, to the coaches, to how they treat their teammates is a reflection of that.
Like it’s no accident that people stumble upon Nerd Fitness and feel the same way. I just got this message from a reader this week:
“So I’m very grateful that I found your site! It’s encouraging and supportive and I’m starting to think that I can get back to having fun again. 🙂 “
.
Fitness is for everyone in every body. And everyone deserves a chance to find fitness that works for them.
That’s why we decided to sponsor my daughter’s local soccer league in suburban Indiana this coming fall season.
.
.Not because it will get a ton of views, clicks or likes.
But because fitness should feel like that first practice: encouraging, playful, and focused on the level a little from where you started – where you leave buzzing with excitement instead of fear.
So if you’ve ever felt like the fitness world wasn’t built for you, I want you to know: you belong here. You have a seat at the table. And we’re here to help you find the joy of moving, no matter where you start from.
.
And if you are already an expert and have found your thing – AMAZING! We are so grateful that you are here to continue to learn and help support others on their journey.
let’s play
– Coach Matt
