Workout Emergency!
From Pain to Improving My Body for God’s Glory
There Was Daily Pain… I have suffered with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and fibromyalgia for over 12 years. I have also had several surgeries and a joint replacement due to the damage from RA. Pain is a part of RA and for a time, there was daily pain. There were also many days when I could […]
A Mother & Daughter Connection Through Fitness
When I first started working out with Wayne, I was really nervous. When I walked in to Fortified Fitness, he made me feel comfortable and I didn’t feel pressured to meet the expectations. After working out with Wayne, I was able to develop a stronger sense of self-confidence. God created the human body in a way that is […]
I became FORTIFIED
I am an avid cyclist who enjoys riding every day – weather permitting. Riding my bike 20 or 30 miles a day wasn’t doing enough for me so I looked for another alternative. That is when I found Wayne Burns at Fortified Fitness. I started working out with Wayne in the afternoons in May of […]
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone!
I was quickly approaching the “Big 40” and was ready to make a change. The grandfather I never knew had passed away of a heart attack at 55. It’s okay to put yourself first, especially when it’s your health. Fortified Fitness is a safe, comfortable, non-intimidating place to make that change. To watch small changes […]

Did I Really Just Run Every Day for a Year?

When I attended my first Momentum Run class, I would have easily – hands down – been elected “LEAST likely to complete a run challenge.” I whined about everything from strength training to breathing, and I especially whined at the mere thought of getting up […]
Thankful for God’s Provision
You have been so encouraging, loving, supportive and excited with me along this journey I am on. However you have contributed (smiles, kind words, encouragements, meals, prayers, financially, HUGS, exercising together, friendship, questions – opportunities to share, reminders of Truth) – they are all appreciated and so treasured to me!! Thank you! It is kind of long […]
The Scale… what it is and what it is not
What is the purpose of the scale? Why should I weigh once a week? What the scale is not! According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of a scale is “an instrument or machine for weighing”. So, the purpose of the scale is to measure the weight of an object or person. The scale is a tool […]
Angela has beaten the odds & so can you!
Angela Morrell has done in the past 2 years what she and so many others have tried repeatedly, but never been able to do. She has chosen to live in the boundaries that God has designed for her one day at a time. The result has been amazing. Her body has used the stores of energy […]
