A Fitness Career

The struggles of the fitness career....can you relate?!

I always loved sports but didn't grow up really GREAT at one thing. But being raised in a small town in Indiana everyone played basketball and I was definitely better at playing basketball than I was at test-taking. I 'tried' college and when I say the word 'try' I mean I showed up a few times over the year that I attended. School was NOT for me. So I dropped out.

I worked in my sister’s cafe until 2007 when I moved to Pennsylvania and got married to my best friend Eddie. I needed a job so that same year I started in fitness at the local YMCA . I showed people how to use machines that I barely knew how to use.

With very little experience and no certifications to my name in 2008 I went for my first license and I became a Zumba instructor!!! And years following I worked for gyms and studios and even opened up my own place.

I KNEW I wanted a fitness career but year after year my certification expenses added up- I eventually made LESS than what I was bringing in! But one thing it's taught me people STILL need help with nutrition and fitness & I shouldn't stop trying to help.

I didn't want to become a Nutritionist or Dietitian. Going back to school would have put me in debt. So what was left? Was there really a way to make a full time income working for myself in a health career WITHOUT a degree?

I was teaching 15+ classes and personal training during this time but I KNOW what it felt like to live paycheck to paycheck and I was SICK OF IT. Lack of Sleep and Overtraining my body was crushing my soul (bc I love sleep. LIKE…. A LOT.)

I knew something had to change. I became an Online Coach in 2014 and in about 3 years I replaced both mine and my husband’s income with hard work & only pockets of time that I had in my day.

I share my story because I want to let YOU know there's a better way.

I have a new 3 day info session for friends curious about working online. Do you want to check it out?

I'm here to help
