SPEAKER_00:

Hello. Hey there. Welcome to Calvary Fitness. While we were away on our cruise, our epoxy floor just got finished and I put a hundred Bible verse stickers all over this place. So I would love to give you a little tour. Show me around. Yeah. And Josh just walked in too. So this is his tour too. So let me turn the camera around. Hang on. Wow. Look at this floor. I love it. And look at these lights. Say what? Josh, what do you think? Right? Are you excited? Look at Josh's shirt. Show us. Calvary Fitness. So we have the C, as you can see, and we have the F, which is kind of like Calvary Church and also like Christ Fellowship Church, which we both go to and love. And then we have the kettlebell and the cross. So that's where we get Calvary Fitness from. And over here we have our squat rack with all the lovely verses. God is good all the time. It is well with my soul. I am strong and courageous in the Lord. I do not fear, I'm not dismayed. For the Lord my God is with me whithersoever I go. Behold the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. From the rising of the sun to its setting, let the name of the Lord be praised. The Lord is my strength and my shield. These are from some of the competitions we've competed in. I loved Wadapalooza. I got that amazing medal. And the verse that just is everything for us. For Calvary is be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1.9. That's the verse we abide by here at Calvary Fitness. We got some bikes. We have rowers. Two rowers. I just love our logo. I just love it. God is good all the time, all the time. God is good. We got a rope, we got weights, kettlebells, dumbbells, squat rack, wall balls, parallettes. We got all sorts of boxing equipment here. We have a trampoline, and this thing is so cool for toddlers. Let me show you how tough our baby boy is. He's probably gonna want me to pick him up, but we got this little toddler. And then soccer, and then of course basketball. And then Gideon sporting his... Come here, buddy. Come here, buddy. Okay. Let me see what we got here. Gideon sporting his little CrossFit jersey. And let me see what else we got. Oh, my favorite things. We give out Blessed Life Ever books. Give out the Word of God. These are my favorite Bibles right here. So everyone who comes definitely gets a copy. And of course, stickers galore. Some of my favorite verses. There's just so many. Perhaps this is the moment for which you were created from Esther. And my favorite journal right here. We just got back from our 2025 family revival Horowitz Cruise. Our roots run deep. Our love deeper. Some of the initiatives we do. Got lots of shirts. So yeah, if you'd like to come work out with us, you are welcome to join us here. So I'll tell you the little backstory on Calvary Fitness. When I was 21, when I was living at home, I created Calvary Fitness in my room, meaning I handmade, like I poured concrete and I took two by fours and I made a squat rack out of it. Crazy. And I also put together a whole, lifting platform, which was like 700 pounds, crazy. Anyway, so then after Josh and I got together, and we were living with my grandma for some years, we made another Calvary Fitness outside of the house, on the side of the house. And that was cool, my friend Brittany came over, we'd do workouts, Josh and I started competing in CrossFit competitions together. And then, Fast forward, earlier this year, we both got certified as level one instructors for CrossFit. And next year, they're opening the 100,000 square foot commercial space at Newfield. So we can actually open a real physical location in our own neighborhood. And we can get there via the golf cart. So until they open that, We are able to jumpstart classes right now in the comfort of our own home. And fun fact about me, if you don't already know, before becoming a full-time realtor, I was a coach at Palm Beach County Boot Camp where I taught and led classes anywhere from five people up to 50, which was incredible that I could manage a class of 50. And that gave me tons of skills for the real estate business and You know, I always had a passion project dream of having a faith-based gym where we could play Christian music, have Bible verses on the wall, and just be encouraging and have our fitness be fueled by scripture and not just have fitness over here and faith over here, but have it be merged together. So that's what we're doing here at Calvary Fitness. And it's just one of the many initiatives that we're doing to preach the gospel. Our other avenues of preaching the gospel is of course, Best Home Ever, where we literally are miracle workers in the real estate field. and the amount of stories I can tell you of all cash, quick clothes, no inspection, anointed buyers, and the sales that I've gone through by miracles. So it's such a joy to be just God's instrument in the real estate department and also in property management with our company, Village Management Services, and our monthly home church, Blessed Life Ever Home Church. We just had our first... home church at the new house, and it was just incredible. Everyone took oil and they anointed the house and prayed over it, and it was a very special time of fellowship and prayer and worship. And we also have weekly Bible studies on our front porch that we do with our neighbors. We personally do our daily ones, three chapters a day, keeps the devil away, just keep remembering that. And then what else? Once a month, Spark. Calm City Networking Group. We had our first one two weeks ago here at the new house and it was amazing. Our next one will be August 20th and you are invited. We are having free headshots by a professional photographer. So yeah, just follow my stories to see the updates. If you want an invite, just shoot me a message. And then, what else? Oh yeah, Like Arrows, homeschool co-op is kicking off in August. And that's for littles four and under. So that's a cool thing. Like Arrows, in the hand of, he shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemy at the gate. So that's, and Like Arrows movie is just the best movie. So I highly recommend watching that movie, Like Arrows. It's free online. And yeah, what else can I share with you? Oh, our family seven-day cruise adventure to St. Martin, St. Thomas, and Coco Cay was the most incredible time ever. We baptized 10 of us at the private cabana on Coco Cay. So it literally was a perfect day at Coco Cay. That is their motto, so I can vouch for that. It was just... The best day ever. Glory to God. So yeah, if you'd like a private VIP golf cart tour of the best neighborhood on earth, hit us up and we'd love to show you around. Little man and I are just taking a walk now, seeing the new construction that's happening. My girlfriend who I went to middle school with literally is moving into that house over there with her two little boys. So I am over the moon. And my other girlfriend who I just adore, she's moving in August 20th. And then our family members family is moving in August 21st. So there's a lot of cool people moving in and we hope you can be the next one. God bless you and keep you. May he shine his face upon you and be gracious to you. May he look upon you kindly and give you peace. Amen. Bye.
