Have you ever walked into a place, and have it be so welcoming, you feel like it’s your home? That’s the feeling I got when I walked into Hitch Fit for the first time. I got a groupon for personal training, as birthday present, little did I know that present, would be one to help transform my life.

I grew up a competitive dancer. I was at the studio 5 nights a week, and could eat whatever I wanted and got away with it. I eventually started dancing professionally at Disney World, but when I got pregnant with my daughter, and married my husband, my whole world changed. I was no longer to keep up my extremely active lifestyle that maintained my diet of fast food, and soda pop without gaining a pound or an inch.

Over the next five years, I had another child, and my husband joined the Navy. So, while traveling from coast to coast for his job, and managing a child with a disorder that required multiple hospital stents , working out ,and staying fit was something that was last on my to do list. I started to put everyone else first, and my health last.

In January 2014, I met Sara Sutherland, or as I like to call her “Boss Lady.” After my first session with her, I decided I wanted to compete, and push myself to get back to my pre-baby/dancer body. I told Sara this, and she said “it will be hard work.” But I was up for the challenge. I got pinched, and weighed and took before pictures. I did not realize how far I had let myself go, I was unrecognizable. I started the day I got my nutrition guide. With my husband stationed in another state, I decided it was time to put my big girl pants on, and start putting myself first for a change. I did the math, I have 72 hours that I’m not working or sleeping, so with those I’m MAKING time for myself.

The new routine was, meal prep every Sunday, working out 1 hour every day, and throwing in cardio whenever I got the chance. I saw Sara once a week, where she pinched me, weighed me and made me stay accountable. I saw the old me emerging, and I got my confidence back. I became a fitness addict, I loved the way my body was changing and the community that came with it. It’s empowering, when not only you can see the changes in yourself, but others as well.

Hitch Fit started to feel like a second home. It has been the most physical and mentally challenging times of my life. Sara, quickly became not only my trainer, but my therapist. She knew how hard, and challenging changing your life can be, because she went thru the same process not so long ago. She helped me on this 12 week rollercoaster ride of emotions, and knew how to help me stay focused on my goal. The entire Hitch Fit team, is so supportive, motivational, and genuinely the nicest people around. After not being able to compete in the WBFF Kansas City show due to injury, I now have the pleasure of continuing on my transformation journey with HITCH FIT for the WBFF Oklahoma City show in October 2014.

I have two children, work 40 hours a week, have a deployed husband, and am now continuing my education to become a personal trainer, because I have fallen in love with fitness, and the healthy lifestyle. Hitch Fit has shown me that ANYTHING is possible, and Sara Sutherland has helped me become “me” again and I am FOREVER grateful to her.
