Three Rivers Fitness — Forever Bride’s fitness vendor — offer’s brides an ideal fitness center for brides to reach all their fitness and weight goals. We spoke with Rachel Kerzman, co-owner at Three Rivers Fitness, to get the inside scoop on all things fitness- related to weddings, that is.

1. Relieves Stress

Not only will you look great but you will also feel great. “Planning a wedding is naturally stressful and a great outlet to help keep you sane would be to hit the gym,” Rachel says. So release those endorphins and feel the stress lifted off your shoulders!

2. Fitness regimen to fit your goals

Perhaps you’re looking to tone and tighten or maybe you’re looking to go down a couple dress sizes – whatever your goal is Three Rivers Fitness will help you achieve it. Rachel encourages everyone (bride or not) to make fitness a part of his or her daily life. “And then if a bride is really wanting to hit specific goals, she can kick it up a notch by adding personal training or adding extra days of working out,” Rachel says.

3. Incorporate Exercising into your Everyday Schedule

Brides have busy schedules – we get that. So how do you fit exercising into your agenda? Start with making small adjustments. Rachel suggests taking walks on lunch breaks and being mindful of what you’re eating. And instead of going to happy hour with your friends, make the gym a social affair!

4. Main Priority: Arms

Above all else, focus on your arms. “They are the main body part that will be showing,” Rachel says. Helpful tip: buy a set of dumbbells and workout your arms whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

5. Invest in a personal trainer

Do you need that extra push or that extra shout of motivation? Maybe a personal trainer is right for you. “A trainer will always push you harder than you push yourself and you will see great results,” Rachel says.

6. Boost of confidence

Let’s face it – we all feel better when we leave the gym with sweat dripping from our body. We feel accounplished and confident. So why not feel that way on you wedding day too? “Every bride want to feel beautiful on their wedding day; and for many women fitness can play a huge part in giving them that confidence,” Rachel says. So grab your running shoes and boost your confidence!

7. Motivational words from the fitness guru herself

“Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life! We would come along side a bride and help her feel confident, healthy, and ready to face the new road before her,” Rachel says. “Fitness can change your mind, your body, and your energy for life!”
