May 2026 Newsletter

At The New Beginnings Center, we never miss a chance to celebrate! From community events to educational workshops to simply spending time together, these moments remind us that wellness is about so much more than exercise- it's about connection, encouragement, laughter, and building community.

Whether we're dancing at a celebration, learning something new at a health fair, or cheering each other on in class, these shared experiences are what make The New Beginnings Center so special.

Thank you for being part of a community that loves to grow, support, and celebrate together!

The atmosphere was buzzing on April 15th as our community gathered at 14TENN for Sips for Strength- and together, we raised nearly $120,000 to support the women of The New Beginnings Center!

Guests enjoyed an evening of premium tastings, including wine samplings, tequila from Tequilia Comisario, bourbon from Southern Collective, and a special seated tasting featuring Penelope, Hard Truth, and High West bourbons. The excitement continued with live and silent auctions that had everyone bidding generously for our cause.

To everyone who attended, our valued sponsors, those who graciously donated auction items, our spirits partners, and all who made this night possible- thank you! Your support is changing lives and helping women discover their strength.

"When I started this program, I knew I needed to make a change, but I didn't feel confident in how to do that in a way that would actually last. Exercise and nutrition always felt overwhelming, and I often felt like I had to get everything right in order to be successful.

Over the past several weeks, I've started to notice real changes, both physically and mentally. My energy levels are more consistent throughout the day, and I feel stronger with better stamina than when I began.

One of the biggest challenges for me has been learning to accept progress instead of expecting perfection right away. That mindset has been hard to shift, but this program has helped me start letting go of that pressure and focus more on consistency.

A small but meaningful win for me has been making time to exercise outside of class. That's something I wouldn't have done before, and it shows me that I'm starting to build habits that go beyond just showing up.

If I could tell my pre-program self anything, it would be to stop waiting for the perfect moment and just begin. And to anyone considering this program, I would say that real change doesn't come from doing everything perfectly- it comes from consistency and being willing to keep going. This program has shown me that I don't need to have everything figured out to make progress. I just need to keep showing up and doing what I can."

"I've avoided working out almost my entire adult life. After quitting competitive soccer in my late teens, I never found another form of physical activity that stuck. After I turned 35, I gained more weight and became acutely aware of feeling frequently weak and easily winded. I finally applied to The New Beginnings Center after months of convincing from my mom, who started 6 months before me. I've just completed my third month, and I am twice as strong and have lost almost 30 pounds!" - Kelsey

"I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2 with an A1C of 7.5. My doctor asked me if I wanted to take Ozempic and Metformin and I asked to try to drop my blood sugar on my own. I started the program here and began feeling stronger and healthier as the weeks went by. I also felt empowered and very motivated. When I went back for my 90-day A1C test, I had brought my number down to 6.1 and my Diabetes 2 to a pre-diabetic state. I was so very proud and owe it to the ladies at New Beginnings for helping me gain strength, endurance, and the power and discipline to be the best I can be." - Lauree

"I am now more confident in my own body than I have ever been. New Beginnings helped me achieve milestones I never thought I could reach on my own- and being surrounded by a community of women who are excited to see my every week created a safe space for me to build myself back up." - Lucy

"I got invited to 'girl gym,' as my friend and colleague so beautifully calls it, because she noticed I was struggling- stress, lack of sleep, low energy, and constantly complaining about my health. She told me to just come try it, that it would change me. It was hard at first, and yes, I complained, but now I look forward to my Mondays and Wednesdays. I look forward to being in a room full of women who show up to be stronger than they were the day before. It's become a space where I can breathe, reset, and feel myself growing again." - Magalie
