Health and fitness have always played a huge part in my life since childhood. Starting from a young age, I was involved in dance and soccer. I loved being outdoors too, from camping, crew to horse back riding. I wanted to do it all. However, once I hit the middle school and high school years, I started to gain weight. I was still extremely active with my dance company and soccer teams, but I just couldn’t figure out why I continued to gain. I tried all the yo-yo diets where I’d initially lose weight, stop and eventually, gain the weight back plus more. At the time, I didn’t think my diet was poor. I even added in some Jane Fonda videos! When school was done, so were most of my physical activities. I started working and lost a lot of my muscle gains. I joined a gym and I tried to grab a dance class here and there. Still I felt like I was getting farther away from who I was and wanted to be. Since I already knew that the latest fad diets were not the answer, I started to research the basics in healthy foods. That’s also about the time I found running! It was hard and I was never great at it! Not unless there was a soccer ball in front off me! I experimented with training programs and ran my first 5k race with my sister. From that point on, I trained and read everything I could about fitness. My love of running in races was my motivator! From 5k’s to the half marathons! I lost 10 pant sizes! During that time, I got married, had my two boys and the amazing life of a stay at home mom. But now, I found myself struggling to keep a gym schedule, or a healthy diet and put ME on the back burner. Then in 2015, I heard about this all women gym called Kaia FIT EDH! Started on a Groupon and was immediately hooked! I was surrounded by like minded women from such diverse backgrounds and an amazing sense community! Shortly after joining Kaia, I started training to become a coach and have never looked back! I was following my dreams and helping other beautiful women follow theirs! Someone once asked me, what makes KaiaFIT my all time success story....it’s all about the women! Seriously we understand each other, are supportive, keep each other accountable, share recipes, experiences, get stronger, build amazing friendships, are healthier and happier! That’s a lot of awesome coming from a gym! First Aid/CPR/AED Certified Personal Trainer Certified with ISSA KaiaFIT Certified
