Why should you work with me?
If you read my last blog and have seen any of my recent posts on social media, you know that I'm starting a small group training program, called REVOLUTION. Woohoo! (click here if you didn't read my last blog and want to catch up ;)
While this is a new venture for me, I'm not new to the fitness training world. I thought you might want to know a little more about me and my credentials before investing in this training program. So, here it goes!
Before getting certified with Revelation Wellness as a #FitnessTeacherGospelPreacher in April 2017, I was a certified group fitness instructor for several years from 1997 to 2007. I taught several different types of fitness classes daily - cardio, kickboxing, step, (remember when that was THE thing? LOL), strength training, and more. During those years, I took masters classes and learned skills through the continuing education classes. Even though I stopped teaching for a while (I just got burnt out and wanted to start a family), I always enjoyed fitness and worked out at local gyms, taking strength, cardio, spin, and Zumba classes (so fun!).
Revelation Wellness' certification is a 9-week training program using the ACE (the largest national fitness certification program) training manual for anatomy and other education; includes bible study and weekly online class meetings. In addition, we had to go to Arizona for a full week's training and retreat. It was amazing and it was the beginning of a transformation the Lord had started in me a few years ago.
Since my training in RevWell, I have been combining faith and fitness and teaching classes weekly, at no charge. The Lord placed it in my heart to serve my community this way and it brings me an abundant joy every Saturday morning while I teach. I've also led groups in The Wellness Revelation book study and training program, along with leading my own wellness retreat for women.
But for a long time, I have wanted to develop my own group training program combining my passion for bringing people closer to the Lord and helping them get free from what holds them back from living a healthy life - spiritually, mentally, and physically. And here we are! The time has come and I am feeling ecstatic, nervous, happy, and motivated all at the same time.
So, yes, I know a lot about fitness. But I also know a lot about food struggles (I've had them almost all my life, coming from a past with an eating disorder), discontentment, striving, and fatigue from trying to do and be it all. Revolution will not only change your body physically, but mentally and spiritually.
God has brought me from a place of constant comparison, obsession about my body, and deprivation to a place of acceptance, love, and kindness toward myself and others. And I want that for you too!
In Revolution, you will learn ways to change your mindset around all the areas of your life that you are struggling in; you will exercise and not only get stronger physically, but spiritually, as I bring you closer to the ONE who loves you most (our Lord and Savior!); AND I (along with some other professionals) will teach you about nutrition, intuitive eating, and healthy eating. But honestly, the best part of this training will be the transformation God will do in each one us. Now, isn't the investment worth it?
I hope you'll register and be a part of this REVOLUTION!
10% of all proceeds from REVOLUTION Small Group Training fees will be donated to Brigid's Crossing in Lowell, MA. Brigid's Crossing is a live-in shelter for teen moms and their children. They need exercise equipment so where better to donate the funds?!
Romans 12:2 (Voice)
Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.
