FITNESS | 25 Reasons I Love Being a Tone It Up Girl

5 comments

I first found the Tone It Up movement 5 years ago, just before they launched their first annual Bikini Series. From the word 'go', I was hooked. Katrina Scott and Karena Dawn have created something magical. Tone It Up is a fitness and healthy lifestyle plan that, if you know me or have been following the blog for a while, you would have heard me mention at least 50 times! Tone It Up has changed my life in so many ways, but I always say it's not about what I've lost (about 25-30lbs if you were wondering!) but what I've gained! Below are just some of the reasons that I love being a Tone It Up Girl



1. Tone It Up is a community of women supporting each other, not tearing each other down
Which is rare in today's world is it not? This is the number 1 reason I love the TIU Team. It is so much more than a fitness plan. This incredible team of strong, supportive, inspirational women is a huge part of my life that I could no be more grateful for.

2. The workouts are free
There are workouts for every part of your body on the TIU YouTube page!

3. To become a member of the team and get the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan, it's a $150 one-time fee
There are no monthly charges or additional fees for becoming a TIU Team member! Once you join you are a member for life!

4. The Nutrition Plan is in-depth, has a plethora of recipes and explains the science behind it
For $150, it's unbelievable what you gain access to, not to mention the multiple themed updates to the plan every year. Personally, I love that the plan details the nitty-gritty and helps me to understand the scientific reasons behind why the method works.

5. The Plan gets updated FREQUENTLY! 
And for no extra cost. I love the seasonal updates with new recipes, ideas and information

6. The merchandise is super cute 
I love the beachy theme to all of the TIU merchandise. From Maaji Bikinis to Oakley sunglasses and yoga mats to salad shakers, Shop Tone It Up has it all!


7. I've been able to meet people from all over the world
From New Zealand, to Canada to right here in Arizona. The Tone It Up community is a sisterhood! I've met some of my closest friends through Tone It Up.

8. The Tone It Up Lifestyle is about balance
TIU emphasises a lifestyle over a quick-fix diet. It incorporates pancakes, cocktails and Wine-Not Wednesday? What's not to love about that?

9. Karena and Katrina are FUN! 
K&K don't take themselves to seriously, are able to laugh at themselves and show everyone who follows them that it's ok not to be perfect and to embrace everything that means.

10. The Tone It Up App
Available on iOS - it's the TIU Girl's best friend. With all workouts in once place, as well as blog posts, access to the community and a check in function - it's a great resource.

11. The Workouts Are Challenging
I've never finished a TIU Cardio workout without feeling like I've achieved something monumental. Their toning workouts are seriously deceiving too! I'm sore for days!

12. Tone It Up is a CONSTANT source of motivation
If you're not motivated by the community on Twitter or Instragram, all you need to do is look at some of Karena and Katrina's pictures or tweets and get in the zone!

13. Karena and Katrina's friendship is inspiration for women everywhere
Part of what makes the whole community work, is the true friendship these women have!

14. The whole TIU Office works so hard every day for US! 
It's not uncommon to see tweets in the early hours of the morning, on the weekends or really late at night, saying that they're up to something!

15. Karena and Katrina have overcome struggle themselves
Really, they're just like us and they get it and they're here to support

16. The Tone It Up Members Only Email
This is something to look forward to every Thursday, with bonus tips, spotlight members and extra doses of motivation.

17. Every single recipe is amazing! 
I'm yet to find one I don't like!

18. The Beach Babe DVD is the perfect at-home option.
Available in the store, the Beach Babe DVD's give me so many options for when I don't want to make it to the gym!

19. Tone It Up took me to Hawaii! 
As a Bikini Series 2015 winner, this girls trip was one I will never ever forget.

20. The Bikini Series! 
I would join Tone It Up simply for the Bikini Series itself. There's nothing like it!! It's so motivating, there are no words to describe it - you have to experience it for yourself!

21. Member Interaction
K&K constantly scour Instagram and comment or favourite tweets etc! It never fails to make me smile.

22. The Tone It Up Vlogs/Bloopers
They're always great to watch and perfect if you need a laugh - for all the right reasons!

23. Tone It Up is a safe space
Everyone is welcome, it's always inclusive and there are never any judgements.

24. Tone It Up WORKS! 
As I mentioned in the intro, I'm down 25-30lbs, I have a new outlook on life and health and I'm more confident than ever on the plan.



25. My life wouldn't be the same without Tone It Up
That's all there is to it!

Love Always,
