🍷 Tell Me It’s NOT Ruling UR Life W/out Telling Me It’s NOT Ruling Your LIFE!
It’s the one thing people will defend harder than their health.
As a trainer, I’ve heard it all — “It’s my outlet.” “It’s how I relax.” “It’s how I celebrate.”
And yet… it’s also the #1 reason people skip challenges, nutrition programs, and lifestyle changes that could actually transform their lives/body.
Truth is — alcohol runs the show.
Every single month in the U.S. there’s a reason to drink:
Jan – New Year’s.
Feb – Valentine’s.
Mar – St. Patrick’s.
Apr – Spring Break.
May – Memorial Weekend.
June – Father’s Day.
July – 4th of July.
Aug – Boating Season.
Sept – Labor Day.
Oct – Halloween.
Nov – Thanksgiving.
Dec – Christmas.
👉 Tell me again it’s not controlling your life?

You’ll spend $8 on a drink but question $1.50 a day for greens.
You’ll hit happy hour but skip the gym.
You’ll drink weekly but side-eye supplements that actually help your body.
I’m not here to judge — I’m here to wake you up.
You can’t build your best body, mind, or life while constantly defending the very thing holding you back.
💪🏻 Ready to ditch the alcohol? Be a leader? Give me a call let’s get physical.

🔥 STOP WAITING FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS 🔥

Your life looks the way it does because you keep waiting for “the right time.”
Spoiler alert: there isn’t one.
You’ve started programs before.
You’ve signed up for challenges.
You’ve let chaos, excuses, and the “I’ll never win” mindset rob you of the finish line.
This is NOT a diet.
This is NOT just a fitness challenge.
This is 31 days of mental toughness training — a roadmap to becoming disciplined, resilient, confident, STRONG AF, and unstoppable.
💥 The Rules (No Exceptions):
1️⃣ Move your body every day (yes, EVERY day)
2️⃣ Fuel your body with real food
3️⃣ 1 gallon of water — no excuses
4️⃣ ZERO alcohol (yep)
5️⃣ 10 min of self-development 
6️⃣ Journal every single day
7️⃣ Take a progress pic daily (watch the transformation happen)

👉🏻Life is too short to wait, too short to keep saying “someday.”
👉🏻If you’re tired of your own BS — this is your sign.
🏆31 days. One decision. A completely different YOU.
📲 DM me NOW to lock in your spot — we start Monday, Sept 29th!

🚨Calling 10 Women Ready to Take Back Control!🚨

We’re on the hunt for 10 women of a certain age—those navigating the whirlwind of peri/post-menopause. If that’s you, listen up: this is your chance to finally get to the root of what’s happening to your body.

Coach Mary doesn’t just get it—she’s lived it. She’s been through the ups, downs, and all the WTF moments that come with losing estrogen. Over the years, she’s helped countless women understand their bodies, build strength, and create sustainable health habits that actually work.

Here’s what you’ll get:
✅ Training and strength-building tailored to where YOU are right now.
✅ A personalized calorie and macro plan designed for YOUR stats (not just a number on the scale).
✅ Guidance on tracking your nutrition and training with Mary’s Amazon-published books 📚
✅ A realistic, sustainable program that ditches the weight-loss mindset and embraces long-term health and strength.
This isn’t about quick fixes, pills, or empty promises. This is about showing up for yourself and embracing a program that works with your body—not against it.

👉🏻We’re only looking for serious participants who are ready to take control and commit to real change. If that sounds like you, grab your spot NOW before it’s gone.

☎️Coach Mary today and let’s make this your moment.
💪🏻This is your time—don’t let it slip by.
📆 This program starts Monday, January 20, 2025
📍 650 E. terra-cotta Avenue Suite 101 Crystal Lake

Let’s go!

Is this you? 💪🏻

💥 Do You Want to Get Healthy & Strong? 💥
Then 🛑 falling for the same restrictive "diet" and endless cardio grind that leaves you stuck by March.

Let’s be real:
❌ No one’s teaching you WHY you plateau or start gaining weight again, right?
❌ No one’s explaining why your body fights back after weeks of effort.
❌ You’re stuck in a gym with a ton of machines and zero support.
Sound familiar?

Trainers are everywhere, but how many actually:
🔎 Understand nutrition beyond basic calorie counting?
🔎 Know the role of hormones in fat loss and muscle gain?
🔎 Specialize in women’s health to address unique challenges?
🔎 Have real-world experience creating personalized training and nutrition programs?

And let’s face it—how many trainers are practicing what they preach when it comes to healthy eating habits? 🤔

Why You Need Us
At TruFitness, we bring over 25 years of expertise in fitness and nutrition to the table. Our Master Trainer, Coach Mary, and her team have extensive education & experience in helping our members tackle the root causes of their health struggles.

Here’s what makes us different:
✔️ Personalized Plans: From hormone health to gut health, we design programs that fit YOUR needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
✔️ Root Cause Solutions: We don’t treat the symptoms—we help you understand what’s holding you back so you can make lasting progress.
✔️ Education + Support: You’ll learn the “why” behind every step of your journey, so you’re never left wondering why the scale or your strength has stalled.
✔️ Lifestyle Transformation: Our approach focuses on sustainable habits, not quick fixes.

What We Do
💡 Nutrition programs tailored to meet you where you’re at.
💪 Strength-focused training designed to help you build lean muscle and increase metabolism.
📚 Education on BMR, AMR, hormones, visceral fat, and how they all tie into your results.
✨ Access to personalized journals and tracking tools, including Coach Mary’s Fitness + Gratitude Attitude Journals.
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and ready for a program that actually WORKS, we’ve got you covered.

🚀 It’s Time to Break the Cycle!
Let us help you finally unlock your full potential—physically and mentally. DM us today for more details and let’s make 2025 the year you stop guessing and start thriving!
