Passionate about Health, Fitness and Life

I am a personal trainer in Charlotte NC. I run my own company, enjoy lifting, martial arts, and running. My favorite races are Spartan Races. I am passionate about a healthy, affordable lifestyle that does not break the bank. I am Precision Nutrition Level 2 Coach, have a Masters Degree in Sports Science and am a nerd :)

Last Sunday! Love my easy workout days. Hanging out with my boys and relaxing #chillSunday #offday

How it derails

Had a great day with nutrition yesterday, until I started gaming. Love to chill when the kids are in bed. Sadly I also love to eat chocolate 🤔

It was bad, I had a lot of it. I am not beating myself up about it. The calories taken in are easily burnt but it makes sad sometimes how hard it is to deal with old food issues and addictions and how certain situations feed into it

What can I say, in a society that consistently sits more on their behinds than being on their fit. Going to the gym, running, lifting, just simply moving is crucial. #clt #cltfitness #memes #trainsmarter #beconsistent #fitblr #fitness @pamncbennett @kimmc.metabolic @sweatclt @athleticgolffitness (at Shape Up Fitness & Wellness Consulting)

Having a partner in crime [working out] can be invaluable. The motivation and accountability is huge. Find a friend, commit to a time and crush your workouts and your goals! #clt #cltfitness #clteats #cltrunning #fitblr #memes #fitness

Whatever the reason is you work out. In the end, it is for yourself! I am proud of you! Keep up the good work! #fitness #clt #cltfitness #keepgoing #youcanmakeit #motivation #fitblr @athleticgolffitness @getfitfoodsclt @sweatclt @kimmc.metabolic

Single leg press is an often underutilized exercise. It is great to finish up a leg workout since the movement is simple and can be easily controlled, even after a complex training prior to it. #lift #clt #clttrains #cltlifts #cltfitness #cltfitlife #fitblr #trainsmarter #shapeupfitness @kjbreecy @pt_gabriella @formfixer

We are conditioned to care about being skinny when what we really should care about is taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Your health is important.

Too many people try to figure out who they are instead of creating themselves
