Hey there. I launched the Your Level Fitness community back in 2016 because the online fitness space felt like a feud. Every plan claimed to be the only way. Every coach defended one approach. I wanted a place where anyone working on health could feel welcomed and encouraged. We held a few small meetups and built momentum on Instagram hashtags. For a time that worked. We shared stories, lifted one another up, and reminded the scrolling world that progress has many shapes.
Fast forward to 2025 and the social landscape has changed. The platform algorithms shift. Hashtag culture is noisy. Yet the purpose behind YLF has never been clearer. The community is not anchored to a single app or scheduled meetup. It is a mindset. If you are practicing an inside/out life, if you are building a forever active lifestyle that respects your preferences and challenges your limits, you are already part of the YLF family. No secret handshake. No membership fee. Just the decision to live with intention.
This approach frees you to blend YLF principles with whatever plan you enjoy. Maybe you love trail running. Maybe you lift in a garage gym. Maybe you are rebuilding habits after years away from movement. Bring it all in. Use the YLF Framework to stay grounded in self respect and then share how you customize it. When someone sees that freedom they might reach out. That connection is organic. It happens because authenticity attracts authenticity. I do not script those friendships. I celebrate them.
Community also means responsibility. We challenge harmful diet talk. We applaud balance. We pass the mic so new voices can show what inclusive fitness looks like. And when a listener stumbles, we remind them that goals last longer than setbacks. You control how public or private your journey is. Some members thrive in group chats. Others work quietly and send a single email when they need perspective. Both approaches count.
If you are looking for a label, try this. YLF is a loose circle of people who believe fitness should add to life rather than shrink it. We exercise and eat with intention because those actions ripple into confidence, creativity, and calm. We know the best plan is the one we can live with decades from now. That is the common thread.
