SAMANTHA
I've been training professionally for 5 years. I am currently a trainer at Equinox and am certified through ISSA. Growing up I was very overweight and weighed 249 lbs at my heaviest. I lost over 120 lbs on my own through exercise and better nutrition. Working out has completely changed my life and I am forever grateful.
I'm excited to bring SASS to the TRAINING GROUND. What's SASS? I want to bring self love, self worth, and self confidence. Of course working out to make our bodies strong and fit, but what about our mind? I want to bring a sense of empowerment and accomplishment. I want to make that our driving force.
