My journey began when I was 19, and it’s wild to think that was nearly 20 years ago. I started with at-home workouts, but after about a year, I realized they weren’t enough, I needed more. That’s when I stepped into a gym for the first time, and everything changed. It wasn’t just about getting fit anymore. I discovered that the real gift of exercise isn’t physical, it’s mental.
You can’t fake showing up. You have to commit, even on the days when motivation is nowhere to be found. That discipline builds something deeper: a strong mindset. And honestly, isn’t that what’s needed for everything in life? When done with care, fitness becomes an act of self-love.
The path of self-discovery eventually led me to yoga teacher training in India. Yoga filled in all the gaps I didn’t even know were there. It didn’t just enhance my workouts, it transformed my life. Yoga teaches that we’re not separate from nature - we are nature. That awareness changed how I train and how I coach. Real progress doesn’t come from battling yourself. It comes from learning to work with yourself.
In 2016, I took the leap and left my corporate job to start Soul Rebel Training. I had no idea if it would work, but I trusted the process - something I learned from years in the gym. Today, I help people uncover their potential. I get to celebrate client wins every week, and honestly, I’m just as much a product of this work as they are.
It’s not just about reps, or poses, or numbers; it’s about effort. And effort, when done with intention, creates magic.
