Love God, Love Your Body, Love Your Walk
Faith + Fitness • Get Fit, Stay Fit, God’s Way
Battle Ground Personal Training Edition
Modern Valentine’s Day — once meant to honor a saint — has become a celebration of grand gestures, glitter, and gifts.
Cards stacked in aisles.
Chocolate towers and champagne bottles.
Fancy dinners and flashy displays of affection.
Every year, America spends more and more trying to prove love with purchases.
But what if this year…
we love differently?
What if this year isn’t about roses and restaurant reservations…
but reverence?
What if instead of celebrating temporary romance,
we celebrated eternal love — and the transformation God is working in you?
At Battle Ground Fitness, we don’t follow culture —
we follow Christ.
And this season, we make Valentine’s Day a reminder to:
❤️ Love Jesus
❤️ Love the temple He gave you
❤️ Love the lifestyle He’s calling you into
Not store-bought love.
Spirit-built love.
Christ First — Everything Else Follows
The world says love is a feeling.
Scripture says love is surrender, discipline, and obedience.
“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19
You don't need chocolate to feel valued.
You don’t need gifts to feel chosen.
You don’t need champagne to feel joyful.
You are loved by the One who created the universe —
and He loved you first.
This Valentine’s Day, we remember:
True love isn’t wrapped in red foil —
it's wrapped in the scars of a Savior.
Love Your Temple — God’s Way
Loving God means honoring His temple —
your body, your mind, your habits.
Love isn't:
✘ emotional eating
✘ reckless choices
✘ neglecting your health
✘ temporary comfort
Love is:
✔ fueling your body with care
✔ moving with purpose
✔ resting in Him
✔ choosing discipline instead of indulgence
✔ honoring the vessel God entrusted to you
This year, your Valentine’s gift is obedience, not overindulgence.
Strength, not sugar rushes.
Spirit-led decisions, not culture-led impulses.
That is Kingdom love.
Celebrate Love With Discipline
Instead of excess and emotional escape, choose:
-
A prayer walk with worship music
-
A nourishing home-cooked meal
-
Time in Scripture to feel His love
-
A workout that strengthens His temple
-
Gratitude for the body God gave you
-
Declaring, “Lord, I love You with my actions today.”
This isn't restriction —
this is reverence.
This is love expressed as stewardship, not splurging.
Devotion, not distraction.
This Valentine's Day, Choose Purpose Over Pressure
You don't need the world’s version of romance to feel whole.
You already know the greatest love story ever written.
You don’t need to “treat yourself” with foods that hurt your goals.
Love yourself with discipline and devotion.
You don’t need a fancy date to feel cherished.
You have a Savior who laid down His life for you.
This is faith-driven love.
This is Kingdom commitment.
This is fitness as worship.
Get Fit. Stay Fit. Love God. God's Way.
This year, let Valentine’s Day be a declaration:
I choose Jesus.
I choose discipline.
I choose health.
I choose love expressed through obedience.
At Battle Ground Fitness,
we don’t just strengthen muscles —
we strengthen love for God, commitment to discipline, and care for His temple.
So today, celebrate the love that changed your eternity.
Honor the body He gave you.
Train with gratitude.
Walk in purpose.
Love yourself by living holy.
This is real love.
This is real transformation.
This is the Battle Ground way.
Get fit. Stay fit. God’s way.
And love like Christ — deeply, deliberately, daily.
