I was 28, overweight, never stepped foot in a gym.
When I first began my fitness journey in 2015, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I just knew that my current situation was no longer cutting it.
I was a new mom to my first baby. Part of me felt selfish for wanting to focus on myself but the other part of me just knew it would be what’s best for our family as a whole.
I spun my wheels for about 6 months just following bodybuilding.com & it worked for a while.Eventually, I realized I needed to be coached
I found a coach who was very reputable in our community and reached out. He quoted me $250 per month and my jaw dropped. We were living on a single military income, so finances were definitely tight, but I knew I needed him.
I knew convincing Corey would be a challenge, so i forced him to meet this coach w/me. By the end of the meeting, Corey was on board!
We knew we would have to budget for it, so we began selling items from around the house and we cancelled our cable. Corey actually HELPED me figure out a way to afford the coach, I was so surprised, lol.
Why did he do that for me?
He KNEW that if I took care of myself, I would look better, & if I looked better, I would feel better. If I felt better, I would be happier, & if I was happier, all would go well in our household.
That & I think he understood how much I wanted & needed this change. I did just have his baby after all.
He was willing to help me figure out a way instead of telling me, “No, we cant afford this right now.”
You know what happened after I trained for 6 months with this coach? I competed and won bodybuilding shows, became a personal trainer, Corey got out of the Military which lead to us running a multiple 6 figure online business that eventually lead to us buying a gym.
That $250 investment became something that not only made us happier, IT MADE US MONEY because it became our careers.
Sometimes, you really just need to have your partner understand your needs and come up with a plan to make it happen together. Both of you will benefit from it & truly you never know where that confidence & good health will take you!🌟
