Our Story

I was first attracted to weight lifting when I was 10, living in southern California. I remember riding my bike in my subdivision on a sunny summer day and meeting a couple who were obviously bodybuilders. They looked amazing! They looked like warriors and they had a glow of health about them that I had never seen before. I wanted to be like them when I grew up. In 5th grade my teacher inspired me. She competed on the old TV show “American Gladiators,” which was kind of like an old school “American Ninja Warrior” but with bodybuilders. She didn’t drive to work every day, she ran, and pulled a wagon behind her with her young son riding along. She was so positive and full of life! I wanted to be like her when I grew up too. Fast forward to high school and I took my first weight lifting class. I got to experience this discipline firsthand and was quickly hooked. I had my share of ups and downs with early adulthood….unexpected pregnancy and broken marriage…weight gained, energy and vitality lost in dark depression…but I never lost the love of feeling strong. After getting divorced, I lost 60 lbs in about 6 months through heavy weight lifting and cardio. It was not easy, but it was worth it. Being able to lift heavy weights not only makes your muscles stronger, it transforms your mind, your feelings, your mood, and your self-worth. There’s something about pushing your muscles to the limit that completely empowers you inside and out, and births in you a renewed sense of well-being that I believe, can never be taken from you. This is why I feel called to be a personal trainer. I want to show other women what I have learned and open a world to them that for most, may not know exists. A world where a woman can feel empowered to handle anything that’s thrown at her. Where she can shine confidence because she feels strong and valuable. Where she can take care of her family and take care of herself. This strength, life, joy, and vitality I’m speaking of is available to anyone, no matter what level of fitness or health. With the right tools and teaching, and a mustard seed sized faith, any woman can do this. All it takes is a first step.
