This week on Fit Happens, we’re sitting down with the effortlessly cool Rani Vance - Pilates powerhouse, SLT + Fuze House instructor, and one of the rising voices in the EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) fitness space. We first met Rani at a day party in the Hamptons (very Fit Happens coded), and instantly knew she was someone we needed to bring on the pod.

We dive into Rani’s journey into fitness, how she found her way to Pilates-based training, and what keeps her energized in an industry that’s always evolving. Then, we get into the nitty-gritty of EMS: what it actually does, how it works, what it feels like (yes, we tried it), and who it’s really for. If you’ve been EMS-curious but slightly intimidated, this episode breaks it all down in a way that’s both science-backed and real-world relatable.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Fit Happens without some laughs, personal stories, and a little wellness-meets-nightlife energy. Whether you’re a Pilates devotee, fitness professional, or just love learning about what’s next in the wellness world, this one’s a must-listen.

This week on Fit Happens, the girls kick things off with a full weekend debrief - and yes, it’s exactly the kind of chaos you’d expect. Think: a night out that escalated quickly, a questionable-but-necessary late-night McDonald’s order, and a fresh batch of dating lore we absolutely did not ask for but are thrilled to unpack.

Then we dive into this week’s topic: embracing your Beginner Era - the season all of us desperately need. We talk about why starting over feels so uncomfortable (hi, ego), why being a beginner is scientifically linked to more motivation and long-term consistency, and how giving yourself permission to not be perfect on day one can actually change everything. We unpack the mindset shift of trading pressure for curiosity, the importance of letting yourself be seen in the messy middle, and the surprising ways “beginner energy” shows up outside of the gym - in dating, careers, friendships, and life transitions. It’s equal parts humbling, hilarious, and genuinely empowering. By the end, you might even want to be a beginner again.

Grab your 20-piece McNugget and let’s get into it.

We kick things off with some much-needed life updates including a full recap of our chaotic, house-music-filled weekend that confirmed maybe we haven’t lost dancing after all (!!). The girls also dive into some fresh dating lore, complete with a special guest appearance from ChatGPT who showed up to read us our romantic red flags… respectfully.

Then we jump into the good stuff: our Holiday Hangover Hacks. From surviving back-to-back parties to the cures that actually work, we’re breaking down everything you need to make it through December in one piece - hydrated, festive, and only mildly unwell.

Come cozy up with us - let's stay festive, hydrated, and just the right amount of unhinged.
