When I started training with Kaileigh I was a whooping 22 years young, now at the age of 26 I
finally felt ready to take a step back from one on one personal training. It took time and lots of
work on my end and probably even more work on Kaileigh’s end, but with lots of little steps
together and Kaileigh’s determination to help me succeed I feel like a new me, an improved me.
Before I met Kaileigh I knew myself to overtrain, run too many miles in one day and never ate
enough. Until I took the first little step and signed myself for personal training with Kaileigh.
And it could only be Kaileigh, I was pretty picky but hey you should be too and im sooo glad that
I was As I started to work with Kaileigh twice a week for 30-minute sessions I started to see
little changes. I didn’t lose a ton of weight or anything crazy, but I did start to notice that I felt a
little stronger and hey my endurance level seemed a little higher. And all of sudden just a sliver
of trust started to grow. As our training sessions went by we started to change little things, like
what I was eating for breakfast, yup just breakfast. And even then, I felt like my energy level
was higher. Kaileigh and I started to focus on specific muscle groups where I wanted to gain
muscle and I started to loosely follow the macros she set for me. I say loosely, very loosely at
first. I was still learning what and how to eat. Kaileigh offered me suggestions and guess what
she kept track. What I mean by that is she held me accountable for the food that I was logging
into my macros, but I needed it. Like everyone else we all have weaknesses, one of mine being
sugar! I had to learn what “flexible eating” really was. By holding me accountable, you guessed
it, I saw myself gain more strength and the trust I had for Kaileigh became more than a sliver.
As trust began to build between Kaileigh and I- that’s when I started to see more results. These
little changes that I took the time to acknowledge and celebrate led to the big changes that I
wanted to see from the very beginning. Now when I feel myself wanting to over train or run a
million miles I have a reflex. And it reminds me to that I have Kailiegh and to trust thel process
and follow the plan. Because when I fully trust Kaileigh I KNOW I get the results.
To this day, I remember the day I became a client of Kaileigh’s and how much it has turned my
life and more importantly my mindset about exercise and nutrition. So, take the time to
celebrate the little things, even if it’s just feeling like you have more energy that day. You’re
doing something right and let that be enough for now. All in turn this will lead to the trust you
need to see the results you want.

At 28 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease and it's been very tough on me. The doctors told me I could lose up to 3 lbs a year if I work really hard. It was very discouraging but I accepted it. Last July, I came off the meds because I felt like they were poisoning me and I saw no change with them. I gained weight, I didn't sleep well at night and I had no energy. Now, I sleep like a baby and I lost 12lbs in just 1 month!
I never wore dresses because my mommy tummy poked through, now I love dresses.
