To all who do not know me I promise you soon will
That zeal for health and fitness lies at the core of my existence
I've been in that 'before' picture that many strive to forget
I've been in that 'after' picture and still waiting on another to set in front of the world for all to see
how each season it's possible to be a better you- a better me
4years and counting still
Since February 2006, my health has been in my hands
It didn't take long to realize it takes getting personal for a trainer to truly understand
No gym membership ever did it or a costly trainer spouting textbook strategy
Self-motivation and insight to what a 'personal' trainer/coach/fitness instructor should actually be- more than just words but a living analogy:
-the embodiment of the struggle it can be to become healthy and fit
-how sometimes it takes a number of trials to keep the fire inside lit
-when you seem you got it all figured out a trigger may cause you to slack
-as long as you keep the faith, you can always make a comeback...


Hello Everyone...

You can all call me Lynette but don't call this a comeback. Oct. 18th shall be the first day of my coming up to a standard that I was never really interested in rising to until recently. I have sought out to establish myself in the fitness industry for over 2yrs now. Throughout this time I have wanted to help anyone who needed it, specifically targetting African-American and Hispanic women along the way since statistics show the two populations as being close to 80% overweight/obese in our country. There have been many trials and errors in stepping into the fitness industry with my ideology. As someone promoting health & fitness over promises of six-packs and 5% body fat, it is no wonder many never knew how to take me.
I am a firm believer that your health and fitness is NOT determined by one being skinny or even categorized as a normal weight according to BMI comparison. I do feel that we all must find a balance that makes exercise and eating healthy a staple in our lives while unhealthy choices becomes the lesser. I strive to help people grasp this thinking across socioeconomic lines.
I was knocking on 300lbs in Feb. 2006. This was after spending a great deal of money at the end of 2005 in gym memberships and personal training fees. I had put on 100lbs from the end of 2004 up to that point. Stressed over lack of money and personal relationships had me in a depressed state. I have found myself once again approaching that familiar place over the past 2yrs that I've been back in Eastern NC- an area which was the trigger for the weight gain in 2005.
I am not running back to where it's easier and people need me the least. I am here to be a blessing to this area and those who can't afford the training I give but need it the most. Here, is not like areas of faster growth and people full of ambition pushing you to move quicker... it's an area where before you know it, you will find yourself slowing down and forgetting that being complacent or settling is not an option. Having almost slipped into that mode again, I'm here to break out of it before it's too late.

For the first time in my life, I will be striving for that explosive 'after' picture... I'm raising the standard for myself so that I may make yet another attempt to help those around me achieve a higher one for themselves.

It's not about what those around us want us to be.
It's not about how they want us to look, feel or act.
At some point, you have to open your eyes and realize through being a better you, those around you:
-family
-friends
-associates
-kids
-our community
can see hopes of being better too.

Together
