Ember Blackfox

Personal Trainer

The Barefoot Gym

Hi I'm Ember! Movement enthusiast. Lover of all of things wholesome + big foodie fan. In a nutshell, I love to move and I love food! :-DI started working out in high school, so I could get better at sports. Later, it became more of a hobby where I wanted to get really strong. I studied Nutrition in college, and really loved creating nutrition plans and exercise programs for my family and friends.Unbeknownst to me, I got super wrapped up in toxic fitness and diet culture and wanted to be really skinny. I developed a pretty bad eating and exercise disorder over the course of my college years.It took me a long time to heal from that state of mind, but I finally made it to a place where I love my body, I love to move, I love to play, and fitness and nutrition comes from a place of joy and fun, rather than a place of self loathing and punishment. Because I've been through the wringer and have learned a lot about health and wellness along the way, I became a certified personal trainer in 2023!I want to help people really enjoy moving their bodies in a safe and healthy way. There are so many different ways we can reach our goals, and part of the fun is figuring out what works best for every unique individual person.Everyone deserves to feel happy, comfortable, and at home in their bodies, and that's my main goal as a trainer. I want you to feel good about YOU.
