CPT, INSTRUCTOR

I’ve always had a love for fitness, but after having 3 children within 4 years, I became a stay-at-home mom. Constantly putting myself last, I soon developed bad habits that became both physically and mentally unhealthy. Insecure with my appearance, making excuses, I became anti-social, developed anxiety, depression, and lost my identity. I needed to gain control of my life again and find the best version of ME. I knew I needed a change, I started searching for local gyms in the north shore and discovered Body Ambition Fitness and Janelle. To be honest, I was unsure, nervous, & hesitant. The hardest part for me was taking those first steps through those doors and wow, I am SO GLAD that I did!  I’ve been a member since 2018. I won Janelle’s 12 week Conquer Challenge in 2021. I entered my first WBFF competition in 2022 placing in the top 5 for Fitness and top 10 in Bikini w/Janelle as my coach. I have worked under Janelle’s guidance & leadership in becoming a Certified Personal Trainer. I can assure you - my energy will be fun, upbeat, uplifting, & definitely a challenge! I will push you to a higher level, empower you, and challenge you to be the best you can be. I am your trainer, your friend, and your biggest supporter! I was you! We got this girl!
