“First, I want to give God all the glory for how He strengthens me daily in every aspect of my life. There were so many moments when I felt stretched thin, worn down, and unsure, but He never lets me break.
Before Burn, life felt like a constant balancing act, and working out was the very last thing on my mind, if it crossed it at all. As women, we often carry so much on our plates, and somewhere along the way, we forget to pour into ourselves and something runs the risk of falling off that plate… for me, that something was the gym.
My biggest obstacle was belief, believing I could start and stay. Believing I was worthy of the effort and the investment in myself. But the moment I walked through those doors and saw real people, with real struggles, showing up anyway… something inside me shifted.
I’m so grateful I made that decision over seven years ago. Yes, I’ve lost pounds and body fat, but more importantly, I’ve let go of shame, and the heavy weight of self-doubt, I started to believe I could do this too. And even now, when insecurities creep in, I deal with them from a place of compassion instead of criticism, I am kind to myself.
I have become stronger, more confident, more disciplined and more intentional. I am so proud of the work it has taken to get here, because it hasn’t been easy. It’s a daily choice. It’s a worthy fight!
To anyone just starting out or thinking about it, I want you to know this: you don’t have to have it all together. You just have to show up. This community, the trainers, that Burn energy will meet you right where you are and remind you that you are not alone.
Some of my favorite parts have been sharing this journey with my mom and sisters and building inspiring friendships. And through it all, I’ve had the unwavering support of an incredible husband who believes in me, cheers me on, and wants to see me win. Also realizing that I can do hard things even on the days I feel tired, overwhelmed, or uncertain and the example I’m setting for my boys: what strength looks like, what it means to fight for yourself, even when it’s hard.
I thank God for Burn, remember if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you!!”
