I have been in the fitness industry for myself for 13 years. Before I started Body Construct, I was a dental hygienist and meanwhile I was training to keep myself in great shape as I was modeling and writing for magazines. It was my passion. A few of my friends at the office asked me to train them. I was training a few girls for about 10 years. Then, in 2011, I decided to start my own business that I always dreamed of.
I was training women both outdoors and in my basement. I noticed that I had a gift and a big desire to help women who struggle with their bodies. They just needed a push and motivation. They also needed a strict program designed just for women.
Training with men was always a struggle for me because they were training more to become body builder when on the contrary, women wanted a bikini body. The food and the workouts for men and women are completely different. That is why women I provided the types of workouts that were better and beneficial to women. They were getting tremendous results with me. In a very short time, I went from training 3 girls to 6 girls and in months I had 20! It started growing rapidly. I never thought I would ever be able to open a gym and it there I was. I made it happen. I created my Body Construct out of passion to help women feel good about themselves and work hard to achieve their desired goals.
