I am working one on one with clients and in a fun group setting! Message me if you want some information on coming in to see me, I'm working some awesome people over at Wimberly Training  and having a blast! xxoo

What Can Your Body do for YOU.

A lot of women come into the gym wanting to be thinner, to look more lean and be toned.  These are all nice things. More than your body LOOKING a certain way, I want to encourage you to start looking at WHAT your body can DO . How well does your body move ? Can you pick up your kids after a long day at work? Do you have the energy to go for a walk in the evenings with your husband after dinner? Are you able to make it through a 3 mile hike on the weekends? If you are shaking your head and a little embarrassed, DON'T BE !  We all have found ourselves there at some point, and NOW is your time to start turning it around. Find a gym, a trainer, a nutrition coach to help guide you to being healthier. Find out what your body is capable of and look in the mirror and be PROUD of what your body can do. My body can SQUAT, it can PICK UP my child, it can walk for MILES. Go and find out what your body is capable of, I bet you will surprise yourself! xoxo

I started off slow, getting to know people and coaches, and trying to find my place in the gym. I was LOW on the totem pole there, which was a tough transition from being one of the top-dogs at my previous gym. I was humbled daily, but more than that I was SO motivated by the strong powerful and fast women that surrounded me in each workout. I started a nutrition plan in November and I just KNEW that I would immediately start hitting my goals, and turning into a lean-mean-CrossFitting-machine. Fast forward to January and there I was, crying every day and super stressed out because I wasn't doing ANYTHING better. Sure, I had lost a few pounds and a few inches, but I didn't feel anywhere NEAR close to doing better during a wod, or hitting any bigger numbers in my lifts. One day some of the trainers and I were ha
