💢💢💢💢💢To anyone either starting, thinking about starting or starting over for the millionth time on a fitness journey, I have a little TOUGH LOVE incoming! (And it is something I have had to come to terms with PERSONALLY as well..)‼️‼️‼️‼️

First, i want you to ask yourself, "Do I want to fail?" You're probably like no, who WANTS to fail? But.. is failing your comfort zone? Is failing, especially with fitness, what you have made normal or what you think you deserve, deep down? Are you giving yourself GOALS that are easy to SUCCEED at or easy to FAIL at?

What makes you think you are ready to overhaul and completely change everything about your life/fitness in one single day... when you won't give a small change TODAY, RIGHT NOW, a chance first? (Shoutout to all my "I'll start on Monday" people.) Is it an excuse to binge all weekend because you wont "be allowed" to have anything you enjoy starting monday?

What makes you think you are ready to take on some strict diet where you have to eat food you hate and almost starve all day, or obsess about what you CAN'T have, when you won't even give adding a little extra protein into your meals, eating out one less day per week or even just adding in a little fruit or veggies into your meals a few times a week first? Or practice not eating distracted? Or not snacking mindlessly standing in front of the fridge trying to decide what to eat? Or giving up one or two alcoholic drinks a week? Or even learning a little about nutrition and how to read your food labels?

I have a high school diploma and a paramedic certification... if i apply to medical school to become a doctor right this second, what are they going to say? DENIED! Does that mean I'm a failure or can't EVER get to medical school? No, that just means i still have learning and work to do first. I picked a STARTING goal that is completely ridiculous for my current situation.

Do you ask a 4 year old to solve a long division problem and then tell them they're stupid because they can't?? Absolutely not! They have to learn the math foundations progressively as they go to school, to get to that point.

Is going back to school to get an associates pointless, if your end goal is medical school? Is going to kindergarten pointless if your end goal is long division? Then why do we so often think having small fitness/nutrition related goals are pointless? Is something small not worth doing?

And I'll also ask you this, is the extreme, super hard or complicated or restrictive diet/goal/workout program MORE worth doing, if it's something you will just fail at in 3 days?

If you find yourself stuck in these patterns of all or nothing thinking, I really encourage you to start observing yourself, your habits, your patterns and your thoughts. Maybe start to question some of them. Why do i do this? Where is this coming from? Why do i feel the need to punish myself into becoming healthy?

When you are ready, truly ready to become who you WANT to be and leave who you have been uncomfortably comfortable with being, behind, just start. Pick one habit that the person you want to be would have. JUST ONE, and enjoy and be proud of yourself for being successful at that one thing. Watch and see what grows from that little seed. 1% better every single day will always get you farther than 100% better for 2 days and then 150% worse 5 days until the next Monday. GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE SUCCESSFUL *slaps you with love*👋💞

Send me a message or email to get started!

Ready to start in the gym but not sure what kind of workouts to do? Maybe you want a custom plan but are not ready to commit to in person training? Tired of following random workouts you see on tiktok or pinterest? (Or, even, can't quite afford personal training? because, let's be real, everything is so expensive right now!)
I would love to create a personalized plan for you that helps you get the results you are looking for, takes the guess work out of the gym and help you find condidence in yourself!
**please remember, if your goal is weight loss, exercise is not an efficient means to weight loss, however it is a great compliment to it! Especially strength training to preserve muscle as you lose weight. Losing weight is more efficient through nutrition, food behavior and habit change. If this is something you are interested in, I would love to help you as your weight loss coach as well!

Started back to Pole last week after not going for like a year or so and wanted to show a little progress from when i started 2 years ago! 🫡🩷

**(also, side note, one of the things I always loved about Pole is that it never mattered what size i was, i have always felt accepted and was able to do it and make progress!) Anytime i tell people about it they think they have to already be in shape or look perfect but it could not be further from the truth! I have never once felt judged or uncomfortable there 🩷

Facebook deleted my original caption and I forgot exactly what I said 😂 but the basics are the is a little snippet of glute progress! The thang ain't fully thangin but it's thangin more than it used to thung 😂😂😂 I was not genetically blessed in the glute department and have had to fight for every little inch. It is possible but it is hard and takes TIME. Please be careful because there are hundreds of thousands of beautiful girls on social media with genetically niceee dumptrucks that use them to sell bs programs not backed by science, only thirst traps, false promises and in some cases editing! (Shoutout to goobu2 on insta for exposing them!) Everything I have learned about glutes and stand on is from Bret Contreras, who has a PhD and does research, trains hundreds/thousands of clients and in my opinion is the ultimate science backed authority on glutes. I still have a long way to go and grow but I know if I keep putting in the work I can make my body my best body and so can you!!! If you want a trainer who knows what it's like to have to grow cakes from scratch and will help you achieve REALISTIC goals, send me a message.
****also remember, noone stands like this in REAL LIFE, this is just a progress photo in two as close to the same poses as possible!

I really just wanted to share today how grateful i am for all of my clients! They work so hard at their goals and i am so thankful to be their trainer. I thank all of you for trusting me, as a newer trainer and for having faith in me.
There are days, like everyone has, where I feel down or like avoiding the world until I see one of your beautiful faces at our sessions and instantly feel motivated and inspired. You all always turn any bad day I'm having into a good one. Seeing confidence grow in you all, watching you get stronger and feeling more comfortable in the gym and with yourself, is the greatest gift and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be there with you on your journeys! 🩷
If you are interested in training with me, feel free to reach out anytime! I have one more in person spot available at this time and plenty of space still for online clients. 🩷

When I became a trainer I was a little nervous that people wouldn't want to hire me because i don't necessarily "look" like what you might usually picture when you think of a trainer. I have loose skin from weight-loss, some chub and i am far from perfect, yes. (Even though i have been lifting in different "disciplines" for about 8 years-powerlifting, crossfit, traditional basic weight lifting and trail running, even while i was overweight) What do i have to offer that many of the perfect girls you see on instagram dont?

I have perspective and experience. I know how it feels to be significantly overweight, mentally and physically. I know what it feels like to walk into a store and none of the sizes fit you. Or to walk into a gym feeling intimidated and insecure. I know how it feels to "start over" and "fail" again and again and again and beat myself up about it. I feel that while of course i cant relate to every single person, i have been through a lot of situations where i can. I was a teen mother. I have been through domestic v with my sons father. I have been overweight since childhood. I have a history of eating disorders. I have had to juggle being a single mother, working multiple jobs and going to school (*starts singing that reba song* 😂). I understand how hard it is working long shifts and being exhausted. I know how tiring healing from trauma can be when someone has broken you down for years.

It's easy to say "just try harder" when you have nothing going on or any real responsibilities and being an influencer is you're only job. I, on the other hand, understand that LIFE HAPPENS and it can be hard to make time for yourself or start a fitness journey. I have found ways to make it work for me and I would love to help you do the same, in a way that doesn't require you to restrict yourself or be miserable. Let me know if you are interested in getting started! I have like 2 MAYBE 3 spots left at the moment for in person training at complete fitness for women. 🩷🩷🩷

As i have lost pretty much all the weight i want at this point, i have been focusing on a recomp, trying to grow my glutes especially well as the rest of my muscles too, for the last few months. (With genetics fighting me tooth and nail 😭😂) The physical changes feel pretty unspectacular, as it takes years to see big differences in a recomp as compared to solely weight loss. I noticed i was being a little hard on myself, so i decided to reflect again on where i started and remember what a long way i have come. The physical changes with weight loss were very big, while the mental changes, if im honest, were not as spectacular, and i have had to do a lot of work in that department. In just the last few months of my recomp, the physical changes have not been huge, but my mental changes have. Those mental changes make it easier for me to keep going and enjoy the process, even if it takes a long time 🩷 If you would like to hire me as a coach, someone who understands what it is like to go through a weight loss and fitness journey and really start from the bottom, please feel free to reach out! I would love to help and teach you the things i have learned along the way, to help you not only become a healthier version of yourself physically but also mentally🩷💪
