About the Founder

When I was 8 years old, my dad walked me on to a high school track for the first time. It was my first introduction to organized and intentional movement. I learned the importance of breath work, body mechanics, and endurance.  I also learned, through years of track and field, that you’re truly only competing with who you were yesterday. Tracking my times over the course of the season taught me that whether you win or lose against others, the goal is to elevate from where you were previously. This foundation set the tone for what fitness meant to me. Balancing out the physical aspect of the sport that my dad taught me, was the mental and emotional aspect presented by my mother. My mom reminded me that the way you show up is the way you compete. The way you do one thing is the way you do all things. This is not about the fastest, or the strongest, but the one who endures. My mother also taught me that it’s not how you win that causes growth, but instead how you lose. If you learn from losses, those lessons will take you further than coming in first place. I’ve held on to these core values and fitness has become a lifestyle for me, not just a win or a loss, and definitely more than a “look.”
