Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for fitness & health is intrinsically motivated. My mind & body are very aware that movement brings me joy & that it’s the easiest way to fit more wins into my life! There is always something to celebrate! From a new PR, or feeling some injury not hurt anymore, or feeling a bad mood move right out my body; or simply celebrating that I got myself to exercise in spite of whatever obstacles came into my day that day. There are just so many wins waiting for us in the fitness lifestyle!

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

It’s hard to pick a favorite. I love the gym because I love the feeling of pushing heavy weight & continually extending my physical limitations. It’s crazy seeing my PRs from 20 years ago become my warm up weight now. There is always so much positivity, camaraderie & inspiration in the gym community. But I also love to rollerblade at the beach (especially around sunset) and to hit the track for that classic sense of nostalgia to what really started this fitness lifestyle for me.

What would you do with $20,000?

I was actually layed off just a couple weeks ago and I’m in the midst of planning my next move. I was able to purchase a home a couple years back & am definitely fully conscious of my need to maintain financial stability. This would allow me to pursue my passion projects without feeling a sense of panic as I dip into my savings. I would love to produce more encouraging and fun fitness videos and with that investment, I could surely take them to another level of professionalism.
