Why do you *Soto*?

Soto became my new weekday routine out of necessity, but after a month of doing this, I was stunned to see the results. It’s a feeling of stability and strength that I have never felt before - as I have never taken consistent time to focus on the smaller and stabilizing muscles - which I now believe are SO important as they are the conductors of power for the larger muscle groups that I have been developing/training so hard for most of my life.

Soto is “on brand” for me and how I try to live in multiple areas of my life: work smarter (not just harder), be results oriented, focus on the little things because the little things are the big things…

I've been an athlete my entire life and always subscribed to the saying "no pain, no gain." Soto has shown me that that isn't necessarily the case. While Soto is challenging, I never find myself hating my life, or wishing that the workout would be over. The burn produced by the isometric holds and the movements afterward feel like they work, but the structure of the blocks of work make the entire workout manageable.

SotoMethod has shown me mental and physical fortitude I never thought I had all while changing my body and how I think about working out.

Focus has never been a personal strength. When I took my first Soto class, I immediately felt a sense of center. The physical impact of Soto is undeniable: if you take these classes, your body will change. The mental side is something unlike any other instructor or coach I’ve ever experienced.

Soto has enabled me to feel more connected to myself, and more capable - mentally, physically, emotionally, than I ever have. If I’m distracted or don’t know how to start a project at work, I’ll power through express arms. If I don’t think I have the time or energy for that, I’ll plank for 60 seconds and I’m ready to go. To Soto, thank you for that.

As most brides do, I wanted to look and feel my best on my wedding day. After finding Soto and reaching out to Hilary for guidance, I’m a die-hard Soto fan, and I am fully convinced that Soto is breaking new ground in the fitness industry.

Not only have I become more confident in how I look physically, but I feel mentally stronger as well – just as Hilary promised. To use the word “efficient” to describe Soto workouts would be an understatement, because the expertly-crafted workouts string every movement together so you get the maximum burn for the least amount of time.

I thought I would be able to bounce back after the birth of my first daughter, but when things became more difficult than I had anticipated, finding a new outlet for my fitness journey became daunting until I found Soto. In the studio, I found a safe space with incredible instructors to help me through modifications. At home, I found a routine in tuning into Soto everyday, even just for 5 minutes in between naps.

Knowing that the best version of myself mentally and physically, will allow me to be the best mom I can be for my daughter.
