My Story
Hi! I’m Brianna, a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science.
I’ve always known I wanted to make a career through helping people, and while I was in college I was planning on going to physical therapy school. During my college years, I had this innate desire to get fit and healthy, but I really struggled to make that happen. While I was in high school I didn’t exercise often and a majority of my diet was processed food.
After deciding to start my health and fitness journey, I tried various fad diets, I tried eating like the girls I wanted to look like did on Instagram, and I started working out in ways I thought would be effective. But between lack of proper knowledge, getting in my own way, and not knowing how to properly balance the stress and responsibility that came with being a full-time college student trying to pay her way through college and fill her resume with extracurriculars, I couldn’t seem to change my body in the way I wanted to.
It took a few years, but I eventually learned how properly exercise + eat in a way that aligned with my goals and was sustainable for me. Not only do I now live my life completely differently than I did before deciding to pursue health and fitness, I genuinely enjoy it.
My journey consisted of a lot of trials and errors… a lot of trying diets that didn’t work for me, a lot of self-sabotage and getting in my own way, a lot of disappointment, a lot of wondering why things weren’t working for me, and a lot of realizing how big mindset and perception play a role in behavior change. But this journey made me realize what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to help people with their health and fitness journeys so they didn’t have to go through all the trials and errors and the frustrations that come with that that I did. Looking back, I’m really thankful for my time spent failing as those experiences have equipped me to better understand my clients’ struggles and help me better help them.
Experiencing the impact that nutrition and lifestyle changes had on the way I physically felt, the way I felt about myself, and how this lifestyle continuously reminds me to work towards being a better version of myself, I knew my calling was to help others experience the same. I now get to spend my days helping others make this transformation and it brings so much joy to my life.
