I have always led a somewhat active lifestyle growing up. I wasn't the fittest by any means because gyms often scared me and I never had the best relationship with food. The majority of my exercise came from dance class, JROTC, and the occasional runs I'd take with my dogs. Once I graduated high school, my motivation to get active was gone. My college didn't have a dance team and I wasn't interest
ed in sports. My eating habits really weren't the best nor the most efficient. I didn't really start getting into the depths of fitness until my first semester of college. I found the experience of college far from home very hard. Being so far from friends/ family, the sudden change in my routine, and having no outlet for the stress meant I quickly found myself depressed. I stopped eating, stopped going out, and lost all confidence in myself. My grades slipped and my health declined. After some help, I got introduced to the wonders of physical fitness and nutrition. After turning everything around that first semester I decided to drop out of college to focus on my body and mental health. In the years following, I went through many ups and downs. My sketchy relationship with food made things difficult at first but now I find myself enjoying my meals again. Life can get very overwhelming for me. I use physical fitness and nurturing my mental health to come out on top of this - it is a therapy of sorts. I care about my clients and provide a very uplifting environment. Fitness should be fun, goals should be exciting, and you should love yourself! I believe everyone is capable of anything they put their mind to. Want to build confidence? Working out is a great way to feel fine in no time and is proven to increase endorphins. Have a stressful life and need to let off some steam? A few hours a week at the gym always helps me feel calmer. Working out and nutrition, I believe, are the utmost of importance in anyone's life. There are so many benefits to getting active and eating healthy... Psst, I’ll let you in on a secret though. It's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. I make working out and improving your nutrition easy as pie. You'll be wondering why you didn't start sooner. Work out with me and you'll walk away ready to take on the day and soon take hold of your life.
