My brothers got me into it when I was 15. I was inspired by Monica Brant and the beauty of her athleticism, that also motivated me start lifting weights. I was a very active child and loved sports but wasn't good at them, so I was grateful to find something I could put my energy into.

It changed my life in so many positive ways. Every obstacle I have faced in my life or change that I've tried to make for the better working out has always been a part of it. The structure and discipline it creates in my life makes me a better, stronger person.
