Fitness and Finding Your People with Katie Ryan
What if your workout became the place you found confidence, community, and purpose? In this episode, I’m joined by my daughter, Katie- CycleBar spin instructor, realtor, and wife- for an honest, faith-filled conversation about how fitness became a turning point in her life far beyond the physical.
Katie shares how stepping into fitness opened the door to meaningful community, personal growth, and deeper self-discipline through a faith lens. We talk about the yeses and nos of fitness, what to look for when choosing the right workout class, and practical, grace-filled tips for staying consistent even when motivation fades.
If you’re craving more than just a workout—if you’re longing for connection, purpose, and sustainable habits- this episode is for you. Press play, be encouraged, and take one intentional step toward caring for your body and spirit.
Whether you’re doing spin, or pilates, or weightlifting, or running, it should be something that excites you and makes working out fun because movement is so important.

(When you do group fitness classes) You have the accountability of “I signed up for this class–I have to go.” And also you have the accountability of all the people next to you doing the same thing. Obviously you can workout at home…but I would lay on the floor and go on my phone at home.”

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, -1 Corinthians 6:19
