KaisaFit Guest Appearances

“Here's the truth. When you look at your life, and you think about the things that bring you joy, if you start to walk towards those, whether it is cooking, being a boss ass business woman, being a mother, being all these things. If you walk to the things that light you up your life will completely change.

“I happen to walk to the one thing that brings me the most joy, which is movement and spreading my love of movement. And for me, the thing that I love is related very closely to my body. But when you come to life and you look at all the things that bring you joy, you're less critical about yourself because you're in a space that you're so full of, light and happiness.

“And I think that radiates to others. And that's what I try to encourage. I think that it makes an absolute difference in your life to not focus on all the negative things, but just walk more towards the things that you love.”

Kaisa talks with Selene on the Hit Play Not Pause podcast. (Original air date: February 16, 2022)

Podcast: Hit Play Not Pause

Episode: You Are More than Your Body with Kaisa Keranen

Release Date: Feb 16, 2022

“If we were to take a moment and get honest with ourselves, we all think that when we change our body, when we look the ideal way that we have in our head, we all think there are all these other things that are going to go with it.

“For me, I'm a single woman. I think if I change my body, maybe I'm going to meet my partner. We all think these things. It's not true! It's literally not true! There are so many other things that need to be addressed on the other side of thinking that you need to look a different way.

“And those are the things that we have to start talking about. Because when you start running towards the things that bring you joy in life, you forget about (for me) the extra big arms or whatever. Those thoughts are not as loud. You don't think about it as much.

“It never goes away. Never fucking goes away. But it means less.”

Kaisa talks with Joy with Girls Gone WOD caring for our bodies, and that health isn't about what we look like. (Original air date: February 3, 2022)

Episode: We’ve Got to Move It! Meeting Your Body Where It’s At with Kaisa Keranen

Release Date: Jan 12, 2022

“My motto is ‘Just Move,’ and my goal is to get everyone around the world up and moving. Because I think in the training industry we focus on the small percentage of people already training and already working out. And I realized as I stepped into the industry that we're forgetting about the other 90% of the population.”

Kaisa talks with Emily Coffman about the best ways to start your fitness journey, no matter what level you are at right now. (Original air date: January 10, 2022)

Podcast: Live Your Personal Best

Episode: Treating Your Body Like Your BFF

Release Date: Jan 10, 2022

“Most people get into movement and fitness because they want to change the way that they look. And so it's a negative relationship with movement right out of the gate. Movement is almost a form of punishment… But I was absolutely not going to co-sign that belief. I was going to teach them something different. I was going to give them an opportunity to explore their body and get connected with their body. I was absolutely never going to co-sign it by measuring them, or by high-fiving weight loss.

“What you look like is not important, it's how you feel. It's how you feel inside of your body. And it's how you feel about what your body can do. And that was constantly the message that I reinforced. And I get it, it’s a hard sell! It's a hard thing for people to grasp. But movement is such an incredible tool that people started to understand it. And soon, what I started to see, especially with my female clients, is they started to be really proud of maybe doing one full pushup, or being able to do a weighted squat… And they saw reinforcement from me about those things. And slowly, they started to value what their body was doing for them rather than just valuing, you know, what it looked like.”

Kaisa talks with Katie Hake about healing our relationship with movement, and finding fun and innovative ways to move our bodies. (Original air date: December 27, 2021)

Podcast: Fit Friends Happy Hour

Episode: More than a Body with KaisaFit

Release Date: Dec 27, 2021

"My phrase, ‘I am more than my body’, really helped me to understand that I'm not defined by what my body looks like. I'm grateful for everything that she can do, but when she is her healthiest, when I'm taking care of her, I'm moving, I'm sleeping I'm eating, she's going to look whatever the hell she wants to look like, and I'm not going to be able to change that.

“So when it comes to training and helping to encourage people to live a healthier lifestyle, it's also helping them to understand that looking a certain way isn't the same thing as being your healthiest self.”

Kaisa talks with Steven Sashen about why many people get left behind in the movement industry, and how to include them. (Original air date: December 22, 2021)

Release Date: Dec 3, 2021

“As the new year is approaching, people think, ‘I’m going to get into this routine, I’m going to workout an hour every day and do all these things.’ But consistency is key here. It’s not about going hard and fast for a very short amount of time. It’s about figuring out how you can add something into your daily practice that is sustainable.”

Podcast: Causing the Effect

Episode: Just Move with Kaisa Keranen

Release Date: Nov 22, 2021

“We’ve gotten really narrow-minded about what fitness means. I try to encourage movement, in whatever way you want to move. It’s a moment for you to explore a relationship with yourself and your body. But maybe you never step foot inside of a gym, so movement is dancing, walking, hiking, cycling, cleaning your house. There are so many different ways to move.”

Kaisa sits down with Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom on The Optimal Body to talk about how the fitness industry fails beginners, navigating fun and work, and how to be real and consistent with yourself and your goals. (Original air date: November 10, 2021)
