You Won't Believe What Jolie Martinez Revealed About Her Shocking Fitness Transformation!

As the winter months settle in, many people struggle to maintain their fitness routines. The shorter days and colder temperatures can lead to decreased motivation and increased temptation to stay indoors. However, the co-owner of **One Spark Fitness** in Phoenixville, **Jolie Martinez**, believes that staying committed to fitness is crucial during this time. In our latest installment of Fit Friday’s Health & Wellness Winter Series, Jolie shares invaluable insights on how to adapt workouts for the colder months and emphasizes the importance of community in fitness.

“Winter is a difficult time for most. Shorter days mean less sunlight, and it’s easy to fall into a slump,” Jolie explains. “I tell our members to focus on consistency. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up multiple times every week.” As she points out, many people move less during the winter as outdoor activities like hiking and walking become less appealing. To counteract this, Jolie suggests integrating purposeful movement into daily routines. “Set a timer to get up from your desk and walk around for five minutes every hour. Those short sessions will add up,” she advises.

Jolie also recommends treating workout time like an important appointment. “You wouldn’t miss your dental appointment, so why do we make excuses to cancel on ourselves?” she asks, emphasizing the significance of maintaining momentum over relying solely on motivation. The key to success, she asserts, is consistency.

At **One Spark Fitness**, the community aspect plays a vital role in keeping members engaged, particularly during the colder months. “What we crave, as humans, is connection,” Jolie shares. The group exercise model at One Spark provides that connection, allowing members to draw energy from one another. “Not only do we feed off the collective energy of the class, but our effort increases as we are fueled by the powerful women around us,” she reflects.

Celebrating its sixth anniversary this past November, **One Spark Fitness** has evolved significantly since its inception. “It’s incredible to see how much our community has grown, not just in numbers, but in strength and mindset,” Jolie says, highlighting the spirit of empowerment among the women who attend the studio.

Winter can often lead to feelings of isolation, but the support offered at One Spark encourages members to push through those cold, dark days. “Our community is the main reason people show up… even when it’s dark, cold, or a million reasons to stay home arise,” Jolie emphasizes. “It’s about women supporting women. We laugh, we lift, we encourage each other.” This sense of belonging becomes especially critical as women age, helping combat feelings of loneliness and low motivation.

Wellness discussions at One Spark extend beyond physical fitness. Topics range from managing stress and hormone levels to nutrition goals. “Women are tired of quick fixes. They want to feel strong, confident, and age with grace,” Jolie notes. She encourages balancing indulgent cravings with nutritious choices, stating, “When you can find healthier alternatives for your favorites, find ways to increase their protein, etc., even better!”

Jolie's personal health journey has further fueled her passion for empowering others. After being diagnosed with breast cancer nearly seven years ago, she learned to adapt her fitness approach to accommodate her changing body. “The gratitude I feel to be here keeps me grounded. Every day I get to move, help women, and live. So many of those around me didn’t get that opportunity. I don’t take that for granted,” she reflects. Her experiences have shaped not only her training methods but also her perspective on life, emphasizing the importance of enjoying each moment.

She describes winter meals that feel hearty yet healthy. “I love stuffed pepper soup, turkey chili, and egg white bakes with added whipped cottage cheese. I love comfort foods, but still want them to align with my goals,” Jolie reveals. Maintaining a balance between healthy choices and indulgences is a core principle for her, allowing her to enjoy life while nurturing her body.

For those struggling to find motivation during the winter months, Jolie offers some practical advice: “You can start small, but just start. Don’t wait to feel motivated. Don’t wait for the perfect time. It will never happen.” She encourages planning ahead, stating, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” This proactive mindset fosters a sense of accountability to oneself, reinforcing the idea that every bit of movement counts, no matter how small.
