My Story
​My commitment to self-improvement has led me to explore various fitness methods, from triathlons to weightlifting, shaping my understanding of training habits and nutrition. With this, I want to share the lessons I've learned along the way. My goal is to simplify the path to success for everyone, sharing tools and insights that aided me – so you don't have to make the same mistakes I did!
​
Growing up in a family passionate about fitness and whole foods, I gained exposure to both of the crucial sides of wellness. After extracurricular sports in school, I rekindled my interest in fitness during college, discovering a newfound passion for anything cardiovascular. The pandemic offered me time to explore more strenuous workouts and delve deeper into the nutrition side - though this extreme phase taught me the importance of balance in fitness and diet.
My fitness journey continued post-college, involving various fitness pursuits like cycling, running, and triathlons. However, I learned the significance of setting realistic goals and understanding my body's needs after facing the consequences of excessive cardio and low-calorie intake. Embracing balance, I transitioned to resistance training, gaining insights and motivation through a part-time job at a gym in Dallas and doing my own research. Through trial and error, I found motivation in personal achievements and learned the importance of changing workout environments and training methods for ongoing motivation. I then made the decision to pursue a certification, aiming to utilize my expertise to guide and support others in discovering their own paths!
​
Ultimately, my journey emphasizes the importance of balance, setting achievable goals, and discovering personal motivation in fitness pursuits. It also is proof that you CAN learn to love resistance training. As a guide, I strive to share the insights I've learned, offering a variety of approaches and tools to help individuals on their unique paths to fitness.
