🎉 CONGRATS JESSI - UNDER 200 CLUB! 🎉

For the first time in a few YEARS, Jessi stepped on the scale today & saw a number that started with a 1.

And she’s officially 30 pounds down! 👏🏼

Jessi started working with me back in February and has been training 3x/week ever since. We’ve done weekly weigh-ins, and there have definitely been weeks where she felt disappointed by the number she saw.

And THIS is where accountability is huge.

Because we can’t quit just because we aren’t getting the results we want as quickly as we’d like.

We keep showing up.
Keep showing up.
KEEP SHOWING UP.

I am so proud of the resiliency Jessi has shown over these past 7 months.

And the best part? She’s doing this the RIGHT way.

She’s losing body fat while building muscle, and that looks different than simply trying to make the scale drop as fast as possible. It takes longer. You have to be patient and trust the process.

Her body fat is way down. Her muscle percentage is way up. And she talks about how much better she feels and how much more confident she is.

THAT is the transformation. ❤️

Now, I know one-on-one personal training is expensive. I get it. It’s not financially doable for everyone.

But sometimes the more expensive choice is continuing to go it alone when you already know you need accountability.

Continuing down a path of getting weaker, losing muscle, becoming more frail, and feeling miserable doing things that require you to move.

Jessi just purchased her 5th training package, and I think she’d agree that she hasn’t regretted the investment.

Because she didn’t just invest in workouts.

She invested in her strength, her health, her confidence, and her future.

And today, she got to see another piece of the payoff.

30 pounds down. Under 200. Stronger. More confident. More capable.

Jessi, I am SO proud of you. 🥹❤️

Now we keep going. 💪🏼

Wild seeing how much Bree has grown in 2 years 🤯 She just started volleyball & her Mom text me the other night that her strength is night & day difference from last year + that she’s got her overhand serve down 👏🏼 Hard work PAYS OFF!

As always, I’m most proud of how she’s grown in her attitude and effort. That’s the type of maturity that transfers into all aspects of life 🙌🏼 Congrats on 2 years Bree 🥳

Had to say goodbye to this snow bird on Friday as he heads back down to Florida for the winter. I saw Mark 2x/week all summer. He has already played in his 1st softball league game where he got a hit his 1st at bat and went 2-4.

Keep being the inspiration you are & showing all of us that age is just a number! I’ll miss you & see you around the holidays. Love you, Mark! ❤️

This flag hangs in my gym, but to me, it’s so much more than a phrase.

God put the idea for this business on my heart years before taking the leap. Fear kept winning. I convinced myself it wasn’t realistic, that I wasn’t capable, and that the dream was just a dream.

Then I met Jesus.

Everything changed.

My mindset changed. My perspective changed. I realized I wasn’t created to live controlled by fear, but to walk by faith.

This business would not exist without God. He opened doors, gave me courage, and continues to give me the strength to keep going.

So when I look at this flag, I’m reminded of where I came from, what God has brought me through, and what He can do when we choose faith over fear.

I believe every person God brings into our path is there for a reason, and I pray this business continues to be used to advance His Kingdom.

To everyone who has supported us along the way—thank you. ❤️

Faith over fear. Always.

“Do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.”
— Isaiah 41:10

September 11, 2001 is a day I remember vividly.

I was in 3rd grade. I remember my parents trying to explain to me what had happened, but at that age, I honestly didn’t understand the weight of it. I was too young to comprehend the fear, the heartbreak, and the magnitude of what our country had just experienced.

Looking back now, I understand that it was a day that molded and changed our country forever.

It was a dark day. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives. Families lost mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, and friends. So many lives were changed in a matter of minutes, and countless families have carried that loss with them ever since.

And then there were the firefighters, police officers, first responders, and ordinary people who ran toward the danger while everyone else was trying to get away.

The firefighters who entered those towers knew the danger, yet they climbed those stairs anyway. They went in searching for people they had never met, carrying hope into a place filled with fear. Many never came back out.

That kind of sacrifice is difficult to put into words. It was courage, but it was also love—the kind of love that puts another person’s life before your own.

Today, we remember those who lost their lives. We remember the families who lost someone they loved. We remember the first responders who gave everything they had to save others. And we remember the heroes who showed us what courage, sacrifice, and love can look like in the darkest moments.

We may never fully understand the weight of that day, but we can choose to remember.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕊️

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13
