About Tricia

Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my site.

I was born and raised in the small town of Canton, Pennsylvania. When I was 20 years old I started my first teaching job, then met the man of my dreams and moved 800 miles south to Georgia.  I left behind all my friends and family to move to Georgia, where I didn’t know a single soul. Right after we got married I got pregnant and had my first son and decided to be at stay at home mom. Since then I have had 2 more children (3 little boys to C-section in 4 years), have become a certified personal trainer and fitness nutritionist through ISSA and I am also a Star Diamond Beachbody Coach. Through getting my fitness degrees and joining Beachbody, I have become very involved in the fitness industry and love being able to encourage others to become healthier and happier versions of themselves.

I want you to know I was always pretty fit, but took that for granted and when I had my children I gained weight quickly and became miserable. Growing up I played 3 sports and was a collegiate softball player. Because I was always very active, I could eat what I wanted and stay fit….until I got pregnant. I gained over 60 pounds during my first pregnancy and couldn’t get it all back off after I had him. So I understand how people feel when they come to me and want help losing weight because I’ve been there. I know how it feels to have unwanted weight gain and cellulite because unhealthy comes in all forms.

There was one point in my life where I was trying on clothes and when I looked in the mirror I not only saw the weight I had gained but saw the unhealthy habits I had developed. It was at this point that I reevaluated my life and realized I didn’t like the direction I was going with my body. I REALLY wanted to lose the weight I had gained but I figured that it was too late and that I would never go back to that fit body I once had before kids because, “that it’s just part of being a mother.” That was the furthest from the truth.

I started exercising by using Beachbody programs and taking Shakeology daily. I wanted to lose that baby weight. I was scared at first to lift weights because I thought weights made women look “bulky”. I gave it a shot because the yo-yo diets and cardio weren’t working for me. All of a sudden my life changed. I started to feel good. Very good. All of the weightlifting, Shakeology and healthy food started transforming my body! I felt more fit than when I was a college athlete! My nails became stronger, my hair became shinier, and my skin started to glow and tighten. I started needing less sleep at night and woke up early full of energy! I realized what respecting your body truly meant. I know I only have one body and I want to treat it the best that I can.

Soon after my changes, I signed up to be a Beachbody coach and I got my certification in personal training and fitness nutrition and my fitness career has completely taken off. I have been given opportunities that I never could have imagined. My life has changed dramatically but I love every minute of it. I am overwhelmed by the love and support I have received by the people that follow my journey as well as the company I work with. I love being able to connect with as many people as possible because we can all learn from each other. I have truly been touched when people tell me I changed their life for the better because there is nothing more rewarding than that.

What is my purpose? Simple. I want to change the world. I want to change lives. I want to make a difference. I want to be a part of ending the trend of obesity and giving people the healthy fulfilling lives they desire. I want to show people how to believe in themselves. I want to teach people to fight for their right to be healthy! I also want to show mom’s that they can get that pre-baby body back and more! So I will continue to focus all of my energy into helping others reach their health/fitness goals!
