I got into fitness because things don’t just happen, we make them happen. I never intended to love fitness as much as I do, but it’s become my safe place. I can go out there and leave it all on the floor, in doing so I found it to be something I could become seriously passionate about. Once I started weightlifting it quickly became apart of me. The feeling of becoming stronger everyday and seeing myself not only improve physically, but also mentally is so rewarding. I love pushing myself in all degrees of life, the gym is just another avenue of me trying to be my best self everyday. At the end of the day your only competition is yourself. 

My heroes are any person who has struggled and has come out stronger

“You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don’t take”. If you don’t try you’ll never know. You won’t succeed or grow unless you give it a shot!  

My favorite exercise of all time would have to be leg presses! I love how strong they make me feel! Lately I’ve gotten into olympic weight lifting and I love those exercises too! 

Reign from within for me means embracing your true full self. It means bettering and growing all aspects of yourself. It’s not just physical, it’s mental and emotional. It’s about being the best and strongest version of yourself. Being a warrior inside and out. 

My biggest motivation are my goals. Goals simply keep me going. They allow me to push, and challenge myself beyond what I may think is possible. I also don’t allow myself to rely on motivation. I won’t always be motivated, so I must learn to be disciplined. I remind myself how important my goals are even on the days that I’m tired, busy, or just unmotivated. I always try to make sure I stay true to my discipline and goals and get up and keep going.

Streignth has given me a place to express my passion for fitness. It’s given me a team of people who all encourage and support each other. Being able to represent Streignth motivates and empowers me to do better everyday!
