Hey, I’m Maddy
AND THIS IS MY STORY.
For as long as I can remember, I struggled with my relationship with my body and food. I grew up as a chubbier kid and while puberty eventually melted off the weight, that chubby kid lived inside me for years. I struggled with body dysmorphia and tried every weight loss tactic under the sun.
I spent countless hours on Youtube researching how to lose belly fat, I did a ton of super intense cardio/core workout programs that I absolutely hated, I tried the fad diets (“clean eating”, paleo, cleansing/detoxing, low carb/low fat), I’ve been obsessed with calorie tracking and I’ve lived through cycles of strict low calorie meal plans followed by late night binging. Eventually, I realized that this type of “all or nothing”, cardio bunny, hyper-restrictive approach was not only miserable and unsustainable, it was also extremely counterproductive to my goals: which ultimately was to build lean muscle tissue and shed stubborn fat. There’s a MUCH better way (and it’s empowering as fuck).
And you know what? I wouldn’t change a thing about my journey. Everything I’ve been through has given me the tools that I need to help my clients avoid going through what I went through and successfully navigate the confusing world of health & fitness. My goal as a coach is to put women on the fast track to results that last (like, for good) in a way that’s actually achievable for their current lifestyle and doesn’t fuck up their relationship with food. Around here, we might have fat loss goals: but we empower you to shift your focus to getting strong as fuck and giving your body the fuel it needs to succeed. That, my friends, is the key to what you ultimately want: a body you love and deep seated, unwavering confidence.
