My Story
If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would be working in the fitness industry- I wouldn't have believed you.
​
I didn't grow up playing any sports and by the time I reached adulthood, my experience with exercising was limited to hiking and grueling workout DVD's. The gym scared the living hell out of me and I told myself I just wasn't "one of those girls" who was capable of getting into shape.
​
As I went through my early 20's, I found myself in unhealthy and abusive relationships that left me feeling like I wasn't good enough. I had very low self-esteem and was riddled with anxiety and depression. I drank and partied a lot, never really taking care of myself- physically or mentally.
​
It wasn't until I left an unhealthy relationship that I began to take the gym seriously, in an effort to cope with the difficult emotions I was facing. I began to fall in love with strength-training and discovered a version of myself I didn't know existed. Before I knew it, I became "one of those girls" that I had always admired. The gym became my safe place and I began to share my journey with others, in hopes that I could inspire someone else to take a leap of faith and overcome their limiting beliefs about themselves.
