Hello

My journey into fitness began over 12 years ago.  I was a young mother of 3, working full time as a Kindergarten teacher.   The days were always busy, often stressful and my health took a backseat.   I was overweight, always tired and had a lot of negative self-talk.   Often we would run through a drive-thru, sometimes out of necessity and often out of bribery encouraging the kids to get out the door in the mornings.  I would try to make changes, but failed time and time again.  I had home workout equipment and even joined a gym, but life kept getting in the way.  

One evening I responded to an ad for a small, local gym.   I had a long conversation with the owner and knew I had to make some sacrifices if I was going to take charge of my health.  I attended classes 3 days a week in the beginning.   It was hard, I felt so weak and out of place, but I had made a commitment to myself and I was unwilling to give up again.    It didn't take long to start seeing real progress because I was finally consistent.  

What started as a 3 day a week workout schedule soon turned into passion.   I've worked with multiple trainers in both functional fitness and Crossfit.  I developed habits that allowed me to focus on making healthy food choices and gave myself the time I needed to get to the gym.  

2 years ago I had a shoulder injury that required surgery.   I was devastated; I couldn't imagine not working out every day.  The recovery was the most challenging task, both physically and mentally.   I knew I couldn't return to Crossfit, but I was determined to do something!   I joined a public gym and slowly started building my strength back.  I also started experiencing the hormonal changes associated with peri-menopause.  What had worked before was now not as effective.  I had to learn a new way to train.

Today I can confidently say I have found the key to making the right changes for my body.  Shifting the way I train, being more aware of the demands being put on my body and discovering ways to balance my hormones have led the best shape of my life!
