My journey began with a deep-seated love for boot camps and marathons.I was a high intensity exercise enthusiast, always pushing my limits to go farther, faster, and harder. Over time, I realized something important: While endurance and high-intensity training were amazing for building mental toughness, they weren’t giving me the results I truly wanted, particularly when it came to body composition and overall strength. I was getting fitter, but I wasn’t building the type of strength and physique that I felt aligned with my goals. I wanted more than just being able to run farther or perform faster in a boot camp class—I wanted a body that was strong, balanced, and capable in every sense. That’s when I made a big shift. As much as running and boot camps had taught me about endurance and mental toughness, I was craving a new kind of challenge—something that would push my body and mind in ways that I hadn’t experienced before. I needed something uncomfortable—something that would force me to grow physically and mentally, and bodybuilding was the answer!

Bodybuilding opened my eyes to a whole new world of fitness. Getting into bodybuilding wasn’t easy. It was a massive shift from the marathon mindset I had grown accustomed to. Bodybuilding demanded a level of precision, dedication, and patience that I had never experienced before. It wasn’t just about lifting heavier weights or getting stronger—it was about sculpting every muscle, optimizing every aspect of my training, and fine-tuning my nutrition to achieve a lean, muscular physique. While bootcamp training styles had helped me achieve great endurance and stamina, they didn’t address the deeper need for muscle development, strength, or body composition change. Bodybuilding was grueling, uncomfortable, and required a new level of discipline, but that was exactly why I chose it. I knew that pushing myself in this way would lead to growth—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My journey is a testament to the power of stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing the discomfort, and using it as a catalyst for change.

Through bodybuilding, I learned the value of consistency, the importance of recovery, and the necessity of doing the things that make you uncomfortable in order to see real transformation. I realized that growth doesn’t happen when we stay in our comfort zones—it happens when we challenge ourselves to go beyond what we think is possible. Today, as a NASM certified personal trainer, I blend my experiences in endurance training, strength training, and bodybuilding to offer a holistic approach to fitness. After years of training and learning from various mentors, becoming a CPT was the next step. This was not just a career choice for me; it was a calling. I wanted to empower others to achieve their goals and live healthier lives, using my knowledge and experiences to inspire and motivate those around me. I’m passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals, whether that’s building muscle, improving body composition, or simply feeling confident and strong. My approach blends the best of all worlds: strength training, mindset development, and functional fitness, so you can look, feel, and perform your best. If you’re ready to transform your body and take your fitness to the next level, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.!
