"I can remember sitting on the couch with my two year old and newborn and feeling defeated. Not only was I a new mom and a mom to two under two, I was overweight. I was unhealthy, I had no energy, I had no drive to get up and take care of these two precious souls. As I looked at them and longed to give them more, I decided then and there that this was it. I was going to be better, healthier, stronger. They deserved a mom that was full of energy, playful, and most importantly one that was a role model for a healthy lifestyle.
I began eating healthy and going on daily walks. It wasn't easy at first. I was out of shape and slow. Despite everything in my mind telling me to quit, I didn't. Not this time. In 3 months I had dropped 30 pounds. I was feeling better by the day. I wanted to start incorporating more strenuous exercise, but I wasn't sure how. I had never been to a gym, I didn't know how to use any of the equipment, I didn't feel "fit" like the other people there. One day scrolling through Facebook I saw a post about Fit Chicks. It was a video of a portion of their workout. All women, women of all fitness levels, fun music, an energetic instructor, and modifications for all exercises. I immediately messaged the trainer and asked to try a class.
After my first trial class with Fit Chicks I joined the same day. The energy, support, and compassion that I felt from this group of ladies was just what I was looking for!
I'm coming up on my one year anniversary with Fit Chicks and I honestly can't imagine my life without it. While, I have lost a total of 90 pounds since beginning my fitness journey I have gained so much more-- confidence, energy, self-love, and strength. My favorite part of Fit Chicks is the sisterhood. I wake up every morning looking forward to seeing my friends, to sweating together, laughing, and starting my day on the right foot. I know that they are counting on me to show up, so even on the mornings I'd rather stay in bed, I show up and not once have I regretted it! Texas Fit Chicks has not only helped me become the healthiest version of myself, it has also made me a better wife and mother. It really is true what they say, "you can't pour from an empty cup." I'm so glad I found Fit Chicks, it literally saved my life. "
