With Gratitude & Love: A Transition for Hip Shake Fitness

Charlene Dipaola

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write. After much reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to close our Hip Shake Fitness Studio membership.

Our last day of access will be September 3, 2025. Until then, you’ll still be able to log in to the website and enjoy all of our 300+ workouts.

A Personal Thank You

I want to pause here and thank you from the deepest part of my heart. 💕

Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for sweating, dancing, flowing, and showing up for yourself through this community.

When I started Hip Shake Fitness, I was in a place of feeling lost in my own femininity. Going through IVF at the time, I felt like I wasn’t “enough” as a woman. This studio—and YOU—helped me reclaim my fire. You’ve been part of my healing, my growth, and my joy.

My hope is that our workouts reminded you of the truth I had to learn myself: you are fierce, fiery, and capable of anything. Your strength, your sass, and your shine are already inside of you.

What This Transition Means for You

✨ You’ll have full access to your membership until September 3, 2025. Please login with your current credentials using the LOGIN button on the upper right of the site OR in this URL. https://studio.hipshakefitness.com/sign_in
✨ After this date, if you have any balance carried over, we will offer prorated refunds (minus Stripe charges and taxes).
✨ To process refunds, you’ll need to provide your Venmo or PayPal details through THIS FORM.

The Fire Keeps Burning 🔥

While this chapter is closing, the fire doesn’t end here. We’ll still be publishing workouts on our Dance and Fitness Youtube Channel and I would love for you to keep dancing and sweating with us there.

One of my favorite quotes about change is:

“The fire is not in the place, the program, or the plan—it’s in YOU. And wherever you go, your fire goes with you.”

Always Grateful

Thank you for letting me be part of your health journey. I’ll carry this community in my heart always.

With so much love and gratitude,
Charlene
