My Journey As A Coach

I was a gym rat for years, which in turn got me into the Crossfit craze in our small town. I personally really liked the community vibe that this brought to my life, but after having our first child I was really struggling with the schedules & ultimately fitting it into my day.  Once I went back to work I really just wanted to BE AT HOME once I was done for the day too. I was ready for a change.

Even after spending hours in the gym, I still didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin. I was strong, but my clothes didn’t fit because of the huge muscle gains.  Honestly I have farmer arms and I always have...so adding weight lifting into that (HEAVY weights) I just naturally grew muscle. I found this really tough mentally to deal with & I didn’t feel confident in my own skin. A year later I was still 10 pounds above my pre-baby weight, but honestly I had come to the conclusion that I wasn’t going to reach that weight or size ever again. I took a complete break. By the time spring hit I knew I needed to start doing something, so I reached out to my childhood friend about her upcoming fitness group. The rest is history.

I fell in love with the freedom to workout absolutely anywhere & at anytime of the day. My daughter can see the hard work that I put in, and some days she even joins in. I can even get a workout in while I have supper on = now that’s what I call multi-tasking. I really needed specific nutritional guidance as well.  My nutrition has done a complete 180 = feeling great & better results.  This has led to me living the healthiest 20 months to date! Losing my baby weight within that first month & continually crushing goals along the way. I wanted to HELP others reach their own goals too, so that was why I started coaching!

Coaching really has given me so many opportunities.

  • New Friendships
  • Quite the inspiring & motivating coworkers
  • Accountability to my own health
  • TRIPS!!
  • Fulfillment at the end of the day.
  • More financial freedom for my family.
  • Happiness & A Passion For Helping!
  • New Orleans, Indy, Mayan, & Now Bahamas Cruise next year :)
  • The freedom to work from ANYWHERE.

In a nutshell, coaching has changed my life in such a positive way. I have learned how to fuel my brain with self love & my body with the proper nutrients. The personal growth & the belief in myself has made me realize my full potential. I always say that GROWTH = HAPPINESS & coaching has given me the opportunity for constant growth. I have always loved health & fitness, but I knew I didn’t want to work in the traditional gym atmosphere (or the evening hours…early morning away from home)… because if you know me I’m a HOMEBODY. I LOVE being at home, with my fam, and with my boxers haha. The fact that I could do my work from home (or while on the road curling) was a winwin! I truthfully think that any gym or PT would be crazy NOT to coach!!! Travel the world, work with inspiring & like-minded coaches, & earn income on so much more than just your services you have at the gym = exponential growth opportunities!

I truly was quite skeptical of this whole coaching thing from the beginning... BUT something about it kept saying YES.  I liked the whole IDEA behind the company - exercise, eat healthy, mindset.  It isn't a QUICK fix or a FAD.  I knew that I believed in the this whole concept & that was what I wanted for myself & my family.  This path was just SCREAMING at me to GO FOR IT.





So here I am.  20 months in, and never looking back.  Inspiring & motivating others to be their BEST versions of themselves.  I knew I wanted MORE in my life so I made it a reality <3
