I joined Team Beachbody for several reasons: The #1 reason is to get BACK IN SHAPE where I am proud of my body and fitness level and #2 is because my passion for over 3 decades is assisting others in reaching their fitness, health and personal goals. As a former personal trainer and life coach and current health club manager, this business model is ideal for what I love to do both personally and professionally.

I first heard about Beachbody through an infomercial on TV advertising the P90X program. As someone who has been very fit the majority of my life- and who was not satisfied with my body weight or composition when I saw the infomercial I knew in my heart that this program would be just what it takes for me to discipline myself and get back in shape. As I have got older, what use to come easy and naturally takes a lot more effort….and I vow to rid myself of the dreaded “menopot” that has settled around my belly. Not to mention recent photos that I saw of myself made me cringe. How can I set a good example for clients and club members if I am not in shape? Something drastic had to happen….and not tomorrow- NOW!

I understand fitness on many levels. At age 30, when my children were 5 and 6 years of age I competed in a state body building competition…just to prove to myself I can do it! Not only did I “survive” the training and diet…but in only 90 days I went from average condition to extremely lean and won first place in my weight class. Although 8.5% body fat was what I competed at, it set me up for years of measuring my ideal against that lean (and unhealthy) percentage. From that time until approximately age 45 my body composition hovered around 15%-18% and my weight 125-135.

Fast forward 2 decades! Although I was a full time personal trainer for many years and knew healthy nutrition and fitness…..as I approached 50 years of age everything became more challenging to maintain. At age 50 I moved back to Vermont from Arizona…for the birth of my first granddaughter. With a new focus in my life, I did not maintain my healthy habits and at age 52 found my weight tipping the scales at 152! Wow, that was more than when I was 9 months pregnant and ready to give birth.

At the time I began with Beachbody and doing the P90X program I was down to 148 pounds, but that was still 16 pounds from my goal weight and 8 % more body fat than I wanted. Something had to happen…something different, extreme and challenging.

I currently manage a fitness center (and do personal training part time and life coaching when time permits). On a daily basis I encourage, assist and motivate people to become the best they can be and to reach their health and fitness goals! To be truly authentic, I want to be an example of ultimate fitness at any age. I enjoy inspiring by virtue of my overall health and fitness example…And now with Beachbody I am able to do it on a larger scale, with people all over the globe! I realize not everyone is comfortable or wishes to work out at a fitness facility. This is perfect…an option for any and everyone to step into their greatness. This is why our website is http://www.TeamGetRippedThisYear.com is a great name. Why wait until tomorrow, next month, or next year? Why continue the excuses?

I can not imagine a better business that could be designed for my purpose and passion in life. My partner, Dave and I look forward to assisting everyone on our team reach their goals, and if they desire, to also create a business that can give them what makes their heart sing!
