With our founders’ background (click on their names to see bios) in swimming, life saving and water recreation in general, it may be no wonder why we chose our name – “Flow” Fitness. The word flow brings to mind associations with water – fluid movements, waves, tides, rivers and the like. Our experience with the sport of triathlon also makes the choice of “Flow” Fitness appropriate. Triathlon, after all, is a sport that requires smooth flowing transitions from swimming to biking to running for success. We are all familiar with the traditional meaning and associations with the word "flow"; however, the term also has a deeper meaning wherein lies the true inspiration for our choice of this name. The word "flow" was coined as a happy state of mind by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago. In his studies of peoples’ enjoyment of all different types of activities, Csikszentmihalyi found a common description used to explain what it felt like when the activity was most enjoyable. According to the people interviewed, “it was like being carried away by a current, everything moving smoothly without effort.” Chances are you have experienced the state of "flow" yourself at different times and during different activities. It occurs when you “lose yourself” in your activity and find yourself to be highly focused, performing at an optimal level and experiencing the most joy from whatever it is that you are doing. Our purpose here at Flow Fitness is to help you experience this state by ensuring that fitness and wellness not only flow into your lifestyle but that you flow in your fitness and wellness.
