I thought it might be time for another introduction since I’m recently back here on FB and we’ve got some new followers around here
I’ve been in the online fitness world for almost 12 years, and so much has changed. I started with the goal of making fitness accessible to all and to make it time-efficient and stress-free for our busy lives. That’s still where I am. I’ve watched other trainers and fitness influencers go viral with shock posts or fear based claims, and while I know I could get more engagement, more likes, or more views if I played the content game a little more, the reality is, that’s not who I am, and that’s not what we (me, Vivian our dietitian, Kurt and all of YOU!) are about here.
Years ago, one of my training clients called me the “Common Sense Trainer,” and I still love that title, even if it’s not flashy, sexy, or clickworthy. Over the years, working in the fitness and nutrition space, I’ve learned many things — a big one being that nothing is really black or white when it comes to your health. Health is complex; it’s highly individualized, and there are no quick fixes. Most things you hear about require context and nuance. I’ve learned to embrace the concept “Yes, and.”
Maybe you know “Yes, and” from improv class ( 🙋♀️ ) or from therapy (two things can be true), or are feeling it so much more in our current internet culture and political climate. It’s not a new concept, and something I’ve always emphasized, but today I’m reiterating it to introduce myself and remind you.
I want to keep it real AND help you achieve your goals. And if you’ve gotten to know Vivian and her nutrition philosophy in the BodyFit Athletic Club, you know that’s her goal as well (with a side of sass!)
So here’s a little about me and why I do what I do. I’d love to get to know you better here as well, so feel free to say hi below and tell me about you, and your “Yes, and”
