Fitness is a huge part of my life. Over the course of 24 years, starting at the age of 14, I loved to learn new ways to exercise and have been involved in many athletic endeavors since. I was a runner, a member of the swim team, and have done countless aerobics videos. I also started weight training and took various classes such as yoga, step aerobics, kickboxing, and cycling. In addition, I have competed in sprint triathlons, 10Ks, 5Ks, 12Ks, trail races, Tough Mudder events, powerlifting events, and body building competitions for the last nine years.

Pushing myself to my limits is on the top of my list and I strive to keep active each day. I find that lifting weights and eating right gives me the best results in shaping and sculpting my body. As I have started paying attention to what I eat in the last eight years, I have noticed drastic changes in the way I feel and perform. Throughout my athletic experiences, I have worked with many different personal trainers and understand the importance of having that support. As manager and owner of Monument Fitness Club, I enjoy getting to extend that support to the members as they show up and workout. It inspires me to see each person strive to obtain their goals – it makes me smile!

Making the commitment to live a healthy lifestyle is often difficult, and I personally understand that challenge. I struggled with both starting and maintaining an active routine. About ten years ago, I weighed a very unhealthy 300 pounds. It was at that point I decided I needed to make changes in my life. I wanted to live a healthier life, not only for me, but for my family. As I adapted a bodybuilder lifestyle, I have weighed as little as 216 pounds, and since the start of my fitness journey, I have participated in running five Tough Mudder events and competed in six bodybuilding competitions.

I was born and raised in Grand Junction. I have been around sports and physical activities ever since I was little, which is what lead me to play softball in college and pursue a career in the fitness industry. Fitness saved me from a low point in my life and helped me move on from softball. After graduating, I started competing in NPC (bodybuilding) competitions, giving me an even higher level of love and respect for the fitness industry. My goal as a personal trainer is to not only help clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be, but to also bring out the best in each individual and show him/her that fitness can be fun and enjoyable.

I offer programs including one-on-one training, group training, weight loss, muscle development, strength and conditioning (sport specific), and online training. Each cannot only be achieved in the gym, but I can come to your location, whether it is your home, work, or local park. No equipment? No problem. I will bring everything needed to start and continue your fitness journey. Program prices vary. Cell: 970-589-4313 Email: missmayfit@gmail.com
