Get to know me

Hi, I’m Liisa Jusupov. I started this website to keep track of things I’m interested in and want to understand better. I’ve always been interested in how the body works and how to get stronger, including topics related to health, fitness, and everyday wellbeing. I’m just sharing what I’m learning, what I’m testing, and what seems to work. If you’re also trying to take better care of yourself, get stronger, or find a more balanced way to live, you might find something useful here.

How BeGrowPlay got it’s name

BeGrowPlay is going to be a gym. But not just a gym. It will have a café and a paddle court — three different spaces with a shared idea behind them. The name comes from something I started calling the three justs:
Just Be. Just Grow. Just Play.

In real life, it’s not always easy to do what’s necessary — even when we know it’s good for us. But I like the simplicity in the word just. It softens things. It takes the pressure off.

Each part of BeGrowPlay connects to one of these:

Just Be is the café — a place to slow down, have a coffee, and not feel like you always need to be doing something.

Just Grow is the gym — where it’s about showing up, getting stronger, and putting in the work.

Just Play is the paddle court — for moving your body, having fun, and not taking things too seriously.
