“I’ve been an athlete from my little tike’s basketball hoop all the way to the day my college football career ended. All of a sudden, everything changed. I didn’t have daily practice, lifting, and conditioning. I had new priorities taking over that time.
It took a couple years to realize that I had let my health take a back seat and I decided to make my health and strength a priority again. I had learned a lot from my athletic career, so I wrote a program and committed to consistent hard work. I had a purpose to work out again. I was working towards goals.
I continued to improve my training program leading to continual progress. My consistency, with proper programming has led to me feeling strong, healthy, and lean… Like an athlete again. Now I continue to train so that I can feel like an athlete forever!”

“I grew up in a family that loved sports. I began playing soccer at a very young age and it quickly consumed most of my time.
By the end of my college career, I was starting to burn out. Shortly after my last season, I got pregnant with our first. I continued to stay active throughout my entire pregnancy, which was a huge blessing, but I felt like something was missing from my life after I gave birth to her. I didn’t feel like myself.
I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but I had pretty bad postpartum depression. We lived in a basement apartment and as fall turned to winter the days shortened and I couldn’t get myself outside and moving.
Once spring rolled around I was able to make a change. I didn’t want to lose my health and fitness that had been so important to me just because I started having kids.
Haden and I started writing lifting programs together and would go on morning runs before he went to school and I started to feel like myself again! It was training that pulled me out of depression and helped me feel like myself again. I’ve learned how to prioritize my health and have had two more kids while maintaining my fitness!”
