Hi, it's me.

Kelseyfitlife at your service

Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey, as you would have guessed. I am 32 years old (yikes, but I swear I feel like I am 24 and thriving) and I am from Western Massachusetts. I attended Springfield College from 2009-2012, (I graduated a semester early!) with a degree in Criminal Justice with minors in Psychology and Sociology. My freshman year of college I was on the lacrosse team but my season got cut short due to an injury (stress fractures in my shins). So I then decided to join the club Rugby team and the powerlifting team. I also played Ultimate Frisbee where our team won the National Championships in 2012 down in Maryland. I am a certified National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) personal trainer and certified nutrition coach. 

I have over 10 years of experience of in-person coaching, group coaching, online coaching, working as an F45 personal trainer as well as training multiple police recruit classes (as well as winning the personal fitness award for my graduating police class)!

​

I have always been into health and fitness since I was 11 years old, even lying to a gym about my age just so I could be a member. Growing up, I have always been a three sport athlete and I have always been on the go. When I was growing up, I believed I could only be better by “shrinking myself” and to make myself as small as possible, in the worst ways. Needless to say, I struggled with an eating disorder. I punished my body every way possible with little to no food, endless amounts of cardio and never lifting over 5 pounds. When I tell you I get it, I get it. I remember one day in college, I didn’t want to be at my rock bottom anymore, so I fought my way out by looking at myself in the mirror and realizing I was destroying my “temple” of a body and I needed to gain control back.

Being strong in life is more meaningful to me than anything. I started believing in myself and realizing the power I had, hell - the power I WAS TAKING BACK from my eating disorder. I fell in love with strength training. I was pushing myself every lift, making “gains” and new personal records in the gym, and feeling so much better about myself.

My goal with this guide is to teach you how strong you can truly be. You don’t need to be afraid of the weight room anymore. You don’t need to be afraid to lift more than the 20 pound dumbbell. Muscles are sexy. Being strong is sexy. You can take your life back, one gym session at a time.
