Be Free Fitness

 Here is a little bit about how Be Free came to be & me 
Be Free was started officially in 2016. It started from struggle, self-doubt, and fear. I struggled with my self-image and with my weight for as long as I can remember. As a teenager into adulthood it is what consumed my thoughts daily. I tried every fad diet there was.  My weight yo-yoed  up and down through school and into college. 

     Then I got married and got pregnant... my weight skyrocketed to over 325 lbs. I was miserable.  Caring for a newborn while trying to care for myself felt like a no win situation, I knew I needed to do something. Two months after my son was born, my younger sister was diagnosed with skin cancer.  A few months after that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and then my dad with lung cancer.   It was blow after blow.

      At that point,  I knew that my life depended on me developing a healthy lifestyle - eating,  exercising, and health, for overall wellness.  I started at the gym with a walk on the treadmill. 

Every morning I would get up and go.  I didn't feel like it,  but I wanted to be around to raise my son.I dedicated a year to being all in with my health.  I lost 100lbs. I felt great. Within that year, my sister died and within 4 years both of my parents followed in death.  Again, I knew/know I had to get healthy for both of my boys.  I began doing more extensive workouts, signing up for runs and triathlons. I decided to go to training to become certified as a Group fitness instructor.

Through a lot of struggles, fear and grit I started teaching and in 2017 Be Free Fitness was created. I've been able to help so many women find their voice and lean into the struggle. I found my passion in the midst of my heartache...this journey hasn't been an easy one (I'm still on it), it led me to where I am today. 

Life can beat us up so Be Free was created to help women learn to love themselves through fitness, exercise and community.
