Getting Back in the Saddle
Reintroducing Fit815 Magazine: Back After the Hiatus as a Blog
The past few years have brought unexpected challenges for all of us. The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way we live, connect, and prioritize what matters most. During this time, we at Fit815 Magazine took a necessary pause, focusing on health, safety, and recalibrating our vision for the future. Today, we are thrilled to announce that Fit815 is back, ready to inspire and connect our Rockford area community once again.
Why We Took a Pause
As we prepared to take this pause, our final pre-hiatus issue reflected on the passage of time and the importance of community. In that edition, we marked twenty issues and five years of sharing ideas that inspire the members at FitMe Wellness to find their fit. Our small but dedicated team, including family members who served as editor and graphic designer, poured their hearts into every article. Together, we celebrated Rockford’s local businesses and encouraged readers to support them during the early days of the pandemic—a message that resonates just as strongly today.
We were also busy with the move from our first location at the Brynwood Center to FitMe Wellness’ new location in the OrthoIllinois building at Riverside & Mulford Rd. Now that we’ve gotten three years in our new location under our belt, we feel it’s time to reembark on publishing fit815.com as it was always a wonderful example of what makes FitMe Wellness unique in the Rockford community.
