35, Trainer at Mind/Body Haus and Kingsley Training
MY FITNESS TIP: Don’t give up! Push past your limits to grow stronger and better — in the gym and in life.
IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT: My clients all know I love my workout bench, but I love strength training. So, probably a heavy kettlebell or dumbbell.
ALWAYS IN MY GYM BAG: Tennis shoes, extra workout clothes, and a change of clothes.
MY FITNESS IDOL: Any athlete, but probably 2018 Bekah — I worked hard for my wedding! I had a goal, worked hard, and made healthy daily choices and switches.
DREAM WORKOUT PARTNER: My husband. He won’t workout with me!
MY DIET: I am a little bit of everything!
MY GO-TO SNACK: I have a lot… but I love elemental bars.
WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED: Being healthy. Period. I am thankful that I enjoy healthy food and love moving.
SETBACKS: I have setbacks often, but nothing significant. However, whenever I have one, I feel like I get back up and ready to work.
GOALS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD: My goal is always to work hard — stay in shape and positive, wherever my fitness goals are.
FAV WAY TO WORKOUT: I love all styles of workouts, including tennis. But Hot Pilates always wins!
BIGGEST FITNESS MYTH: Lifting heavy makes women bulky…
BIGGEST NUTRITION MYTH: Protein. Protein and carbs make you fat. JUST EAT A BALANCED, WHOLE FOOD DIET!
MY TYPICAL WORKOUT DAY: My day would be moving with my clients in the morning or teaching hot pilates. Then, for myself, I do anything from hot yoga, cycling, strength training, and, of course, Hot Pilates. I try to double up at least two times a week.
MY ADVICE: Listen to your body, be patient, and focus on the long term. Don’t compare yourself to others!
