Why did I start Grit Training?

I got to know women who were into fitness. They were available for my questions and were super supportive. That made a lasting impact on me.
My mission is to be that support for other women.

When you talk about your health, do you use “Change Talk” or “Sustain Talk?”
Your perception is important. Saying, “I will prioritize my health someday when life calms down,” is Sustain Talk.

However, saying, “I will prioritize my health because I want the strength and endurance it takes to live my life,” is Change Talk, acknowledging a need to make changes that will improve your quality of life.

So, what are you saying?

- I would work out, but I don’t have anything comfortable to wear.
- I feel self-conscious working out in front of people.
- I feel like everyone is staring at me.

I have definitely had experience with these types of thoughts. Fortunately, I have learned that these thoughts are just barriers that can be overcome, not permanent roadblocks. My number one goal as a Personal Trainer is to help people overcome health barriers and love who they are. Let’s get started!
