Week of giveaways: Final Giveaway- ENDED
This week has been pretty much amazeballs. Thank you again to everyone for participating, sending blog love, and for your kind and wonderful comments. I’m truly lucky to *know* all of you, and am also grateful to the companies who generously sponsored the week of giveaways.
Congratulations to the Home Goods giveaway winner!

Please send me your info (fitnessista at gmail dot com, subject: HOME GOODS WINNER!) and I’ll get your prize on the way 🙂
Today’s giveaway, the final one, is sponsored by one of my all-time favorite workout companies, along with Livi and Bella.
I fell in love with Physique 57 two years ago, and if we had a studio in Tucson, it would be one of my regular workout spots. Nothing has made my thighs thighs and biscuits burn quite like P57. I’m so glad they have DVDs you can do at home if you don’t have a studio near you, and I’ve done the DVDs quite a few times in addition to the usual workout suspects. I see and feel a huge difference when I have P57 in my life, and anytime I’m in NY or LA I’m excited to take a live class.
The winner of this giveaway will receive a volume 2 Physique 57 DVD, courtesy of Physique 57,
and will also win a Polar FT40 heart rate monitor, which I’ll order for you,
plus a batch of custom macaroons (chocolate, mocha, blonde, super roon with cacao nibs and goji berries, or Meyer-lemon lavender)
and whatever Whole Foods/TJs goodies find their way into the box 😉
I absolutely love my Polar heart rate monitor and wear it for all of my high-intensity workouts. Since I know how much I’m burning, I can get an idea of how much more I need to eat that day, and I always push myself a little harder when I can see how hard I’m working. It’s a fantastic workout tool and was even more helpful while I was pregnant, so I knew not to let my heart rate get too crazy high.
-With the Summer Shape Up beginning this week, this giveaway will end on FRIDAY, 6/15.
This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to the winner, Natalie.
This is my favorite giveaway so far the DVDs and the polar monitor are some things I have wanted for a very long time but I could never afford them on my own! There are sooo many reasons I have been reading this blog for the past four years but mainly because you offer so much variety! I love the Focus On post, they may be my favorite and I go back to them frequently whenever I’m deciding to try a new fitness class or DVD. I’m only 21 but I love the family post because I take of a baby full time, and you have been very helpful! I would like to see more videos! Things like how to’s (more hair ideas please!) , product reviews, fitness challenges/ quick workout videos. Hope this helps 
Thank you so much to all of you for your amazing feedback, comments and sweet wishes. I’m so fortunate to have you in my life, and stay tuned for many more giveaways!
Thank you all so much for reading my little blog and for hanging out with me over here <3
Here’s to another amazing year!
xoxo

I’ve been reading your blog daily for about a year or so and I love the recipes and the workouts you post. Also, I love the “focus on” posts! I have tried a lot of different things because of them, it helps keep me out of a rut!

I pin your tips/recipes a lot on my Mission:Slimpossible board 🙂
I absolutely love your blog! Not only for the great fitness and nutrition suggestions but also for the family section of the blog. It is nice to see a balance of both on here! Also, your workouts are awesome! I have been doing them for a couple months now and just convinced my hubby to get on board. Needless to say, they kick his butt! 😉 Thanks again for a GREAT blog!
As a new”er” reader I can say that I really do love your blog! I also like when you let us know there is a new family post or fashion post! At times it can be hard to keep up with the blog-world, but it always gives you a little reminder!
I really love the workout reviews, particularly the video reviews. I belong to a gym but want to boost my DVD collection so that I can do something at home on the days I can’t get out. Your advice is always greatly appreciated!

I love the workouts!
I love your blog so much! For the future, I would love to see more gluten free recipes for snacks that are easy to grab on the go. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into your blog!!
I love the practical advice you give. You make allowances for being human and don’t expect perfection from yourself or others. Thanks for sharing from the heart. 🙂
Love your quick efficient workouts. would love more recipes.
Wow this is a popular giveaway and i can see why! It’s awesome. I love the workouts you post – i’ve been doing your St Paddy’s day love handle workout for a while now, it’s a killer, so more of those would be fab. Really can’t wait for the summer shape up.
I always enjoy your posts that are “snapshots from your day”, sometimes it’s just refreshing to look at a post with few words and many great pictures!
I also really have learned alot from your focus on all the different types of workouts, it really has broadened my view on all the different things I can do to get my sweat on!
Love your blog & how informative all the workouts are. I would love to see a few more recipes now and again 🙂
i love fitnessista and look forward to reading everyday! keep up the good work Gina! 🙂
Love your blog especially the workouts and fashion reviews. I would like to see more workout clothes/gear reviews. I would like to say the I am a work DVD addict. I prefer to workout in my living room than drive to the gym. It save time and CO2 emissions. The Physique 57 would be great addition to my DVD collection, I also wanted to try it!
I love all the workout tips- from more intense advice on really challenging workouts to the simple important things like how to use a foam roller to get good stretches! I think I’d like to see more of different workout aspects like that, maybe more routines at the gym for those of us who dont like to workout at home. Also more of your recipes/food ideas is always great, I love that they are realistic & delicious!
Thanks for being such a great blogger! xo
Great giveaway! I would love to have more categories or labels on your blog. I just became pregnant so I LOVE reading about other people’s pregnancies. However, I couldn’t figure out how to find your pregnancy entries without scrolling through a ton of entries.
I really like your website so that’s just a thought!
I love the recipes/what you’ve been eating. It’s encouraged me to branch out and try some new eats!
I think you have a great mix of workouts and meal/recipe ideas, in addition to, general life and family posts. I also find you to be so relatable and I truly appreciate that you don’t advertise products or brands daily. When you do mention a product I value your honesty and enjoy your reviews both positive and negative. I can’t even think of a constructive criticism for you, I love your blog!
What I so appreciate about your blog is that you create workouts that can be done with minimal equipment and at home. You really encourage people to be active, even when a gym is not available, and provide great workouts with lots of explanation. You have given me new ideas for workouts and new health information to consider–thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!
I love your recipes and the “focus on” posts! I don’t have any criticism because I come back every day to read the next post so you’re doing something right! Congrats on 4 years!
I’ve been reading your blog for just over a year and it’s really been inspiring to me! Love seeing all of the foods and eats, and of course your adorable little one!
I think the balance with personal and fitness is perfect. Would love to know what you think about lifting heavy vs lighter weights.
I love the recipes and the family posts! 🙂
I would love to see more raw or vegan recipes. I am just beginning to toy with the concept and am always looking for something new to try. Also, consider posting the macaroon recipe! I have never even had one, but I know if I did I would be suddenly obsessed.
Love seeing fam stuff, new workouts, foodie photos – would always love more recipes!!
I’d love to see more product recommendations for stuff I can buy at Target, Wal-mart (meh!), Walgreens, etc. I have no local speciality stores (Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc), so I’m intersted in good buys at those big box stores!
I love reading your family page! I am pregnant with my first so I have been re-reading your posts as the weeks go. It’s been so fun & insightful!
Wow this is a great giveaway!
I really like your blog I really enjoy seeing your life as a personal trainer you’ve inspired me to get back into working out and to finally lose the last of this weight! I really like everything and I don’t think I’d change it at all really. Its great to see how you can balance exercise with motherhood, being a wife and just being a person in general. Your extremely inspirational to me so just keep doing what you do!
i love how you always keep the blog based on your life. and even when there are major life changes, i know when i read your new post if will be somehting you care about and something you stand behind
I love the blog. I pay more attention to all of the workouts now that you have made them printable. Including your own workout pictures also made the blog more professional. Keep the workouts coming! Love it all 🙂
Pinned your 20 things to do with a stability ball http://pinterest.com/pin/5418462022211194/
I’ve been looking for things to do with it besides bounce >.> now I just need to find my stability ball in the mess of moving.
I tweeted your Amazballz recipe, I really want to try this soon though I’m curious about the texture. https://twitter.com/pumpkingina/status/212238813282570240
I actually love the fashion posts!! You make me want TOMS ballet flats!!
I also tagged you in a FB post though I’m not sure if the link will work https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=717236026
I love all of your workouts and workout reviews!

Pinned your bridal bootcamp – I’m getting married in 2 months!

Sent a tweet about the summer shape-up!
I love reading about Livi =] I wouldn’t change anything. I love your blog and that’s why I still read it.
I <3 your blog. Not only do you write about fitness and health related topics you write about your ups and downs adjusting to whatever life tosses your way. I even picked up some Uber bars since you raved about them when Lara bars came out with new product line. Great giveaways too…who can't use another DVD set for those rainy days when you need to get your fitness in while stuck indoors!
Oh, I really want the Physique DVDs! I love this blog – lately I’m especially loving the “10 Ways to do a ___.” I think your blog could be improved with a big overhaul to make it more professional-looking – especially when you do a search. Also, I’d love to see some more of your Zumba choreography. 🙂
I LOVE your reviews of different workout/fitness plans (like zumba, belly dance, etc.)! They’re fantastic!
I’ve actually pinned a lot of stuff from this blog, but I just pinned the summer shape-up (to do after I have my baby!) http://pinterest.com/pin/178736678931820341/
