I am very passionate about fitness and
living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. My
fitness journey began in 2019. I started
out with running and then I fell in love
with lifting. I learned that while exercise
is important for your physical health, it is
also just as important for your mental
health.
My goal is to help others reach their
fitness goals and spread the joy of
exercise.
