Fall in Love with Fitness: Guide for a Positive Relationship with Exercise

You don’t need more punishment, perfection, or another “start over.”

You need a new relationship with exercise.

In Fall in Love with Fitness, Florence Gondré Brown, M.A., Ed.M., blends memoir and practical guidance to help you rebuild your relationship with movement from the inside out.

Drawing from her background in psychological counseling and years of experience as a runner, health and wellness coach, and creator, she weaves raw personal stories with science-based mindset tools and real-world strategies. The result is both deeply personal and immediately actionable.

Because fitness isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental and deeply personal.

A parent of three and lifelong runner, Flo has trained through every season — grief, growth, joy, and exhaustion — while still finding purpose in showing up. Now she invites you to do the same.

Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Strengthen your mindset without shaming your body
• Reconnect movement to self-trust instead of obligation
• Train through life’s highs and lows with resilience
• Rediscover the joy that makes consistency feel like freedom

This is part memoir, part mindset reset — and a reminder that falling in love with fitness isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about remembering who you’ve been all along and rising stronger every time you move.
