About Us
In 2012, I began working at a gym as a front desk staff member having no prior interest in my health. This was the same year I met one of my currently closest friends who introduced me to the world of weight training. I then became deeply fascinated with fitness and the different forms of training the body as well as nutrition and started doing my own research. Upon moving to Texas to finish my bachelors degree, I gained a small crowd of people who were interested in what I had to say and what I did in the gym. I had multiple people asking me to train them, but without a certification I didn't feel that I was qualified! Finally in 2013, I received my certification through NASM as a personal trainer and began testing my skills out by incorporating the things I've learned into workouts for myself and in some of the bootcamps I would hold on occasion.
I used to believe that taking care of myself over others was selfish and wrong. On some days I would eat a salad and maybe a piece of fruit and on other days binge eat a bunch of crappy food because of my depression, then I would go to the gym and hop on a cardio machine for 1-2 hours. There was no fuel in my life, (yes, it’s entirely possible to gain weight from not eating) not everyone gets “skinny” from starving themselves, I gained weight and resulted in becoming extremely bloated. Recently, I found out that I have complications with my thyroid and cortisol levels. April 2016, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis which is an autoimmune condition when your immune system attacks your thyroid causing all kinds of obstacles including heart palpitations, panic attacks, anxiety, extreme body temperatures, vertigo, and many other symptoms. I thank God every day that I was able to find out sooner rather than later! Getting back to normal has been a process and takes time but I’m thankful for having modern day medicine and having a condition that has a cure. Change and progress don’t happen overnight but it can definitely happen faster when you put your mind and your heart into it through the help of God and a positive light ❤ !
