Welcome to

Before I became a mom, being physically active was very important to me. It made me feel good and kept me healthy. Once I had my first baby, my workout routine was not a priority anymore. By the time I had few moments for myself in the evening I was so tired, that exercising was the last thing I wanted to do. After I had another baby and I got even more busy and tired. I struggled to go back to my workout routine for the last 10 years. I started experiencing health issues and back pain I decided that it was time to finally start taking care of myself.

I originally signed up to a commercial health club but the money that I spent for membership was a waste. I bought a "total gym" machine to exercise at home but it was challenging to motivate myself. I lost hope until I met Kayla at my Lifestart gym. She helped me get back into my routine. She showed me support even when I struggled with feeling tired or not having enough time to come to the gym. I am fit again and feel great.

I spend about 45 minutes in the gym every other day and it is exactly what I need to recharge my batteries, and have energy for my kids. It helps me feel good about myself, be a better mom, employee and person. Something that I thought was impossible for me. I was able to achieve this with help and encouragement from LifeStart and my great coach, Kayla!

My story goes to show that if you are full-time mom, full-time employee and full-time wife, being fit is still possible!
