Readiness Fitness

Certified SPRA Group Fitness/Total Body Conditioning InstructorBefore joining Readiness, I had struggled with my weight my entire life. I would lose it on some “diet” or “fad” but soon, I would see it come back on. At my heaviest in 1999, I was 220lbs and could not see a way of getting it off. I did have some success along the way and lost the weight over the years, but I never really tackled the emotional side to my eating. Without understanding how to handle my anxiety, depression and stress, the weight would always creep up.I had seen a few of the Readiness challenges advertised before and each time I wanted to join, I would always say to myself, “nevermind, you can do this on your own...you’ve done it before”. In the spring of 2017, I decided to try the challenge that Readiness was offering and became a client. I thought that I would complete the challenge and then be done. There was no way I would stay longer than that.I went through my first challenge and followed everything by healthy eating, drinking water, resting and regular exercise. Things began to click. I also began to understand what my triggers for my eating were. But, it wasn’t until my second challenge that something incredible happened...I “changed”. My fitness journey became less about the weight and more on living the moment, understanding what my triggers were, and CHOOSING to live my life in the most positive way. I also opened up to the community and I am so glad I did because this “home away from home” is full of such inspiring people that I am so blessed to call my friends! I have become a better person because I’ve surrounded myself by these incredible people!Through encouragement of the Readiness training team, I decided to try something new. They saw in me something that I hadn’t even realized I had. In the spring of 2018, I became a part of the Spartan racing team, where I ran my first obstacle course race in Red Deer, AB. Setting this goal and crossing the finish line has made me realize that I can do and be anything as long as I want it and work hard to achieve it! AROO! In 2019, I plan on running my first trifecta (3 races in 1 calendar year) in 3 countries: USA, Canada, and Austria!In the fall of 2018, I decided to learn more about fitness and got my SPRA Group Fitness/total body conditioning certification. Tracy asked me to join the Readiness training team in January 2019!I still cannot believe I am a part of this incredible team. I am excited to meet each of you and help you along with your journey. It makes my heart full to know that I will be able to share my passion for health and fitness with each person who walks through our Readiness home. You will find me teaching Bootcamp classes as well as filling in whenever needed.Welcome!
