FROM NEARLY 300 LBS TO THE STAGE.

After finishing my career as a college athlete, I struggled to find the same drive and motivation I once had for training and nutrition. Without basketball and competition pushing me, my health slowly took a back seat.

After reaching nearly 300 pounds, I knew something had to change. I decided to give myself a new goal, one that would challenge me in a completely different way: stepping on a bodybuilding stage.

Nearly 100 pounds later, I accomplished that goal.

But my transformation became about so much more than losing weight. I found my competitive drive again, rebuilt my discipline, and discovered just how much becoming stronger physically could change every other area of my life.

That journey ultimately shaped the coach I am today and the way we built Spjute Strong to help others realize what they're capable of when they have the right plan, support, and belief in themselves.

SMALL CHANGES. A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE.

After having two babies within two years, I found myself struggling postpartum and knew something needed to change.

I didn't start with an extreme diet or an intense training program. I started small, getting out of bed, getting dressed, going for walks, moving my body, doing quick workouts at home, paying more attention to my nutrition, and eventually finding the courage to step into the gym.

Little by little, those small promises to myself began adding up.

As I grew stronger physically, something changed mentally too. I started trusting myself again, building confidence, and discovering an outlet that eventually became one of my greatest passions.

What started as a journey to feel like myself again became so much bigger. It showed me the power of small, consistent changes and ultimately gave me the opportunity to help other people discover that same strength within themselves.
