🚨🚨🚨BadA$$ Client Transformation Brooke Smathers 🚨🚨🚨
Now that I’ve got your attention, be sure to read this entire post!
This is absolute proof of how consistency pays off. Brooke has come SO far in her fitness journey since she started training with me and I am SO incredibly proud and happy for her. I love to see how she’s feeling stronger and healthier both inside and out.
Brooke shows up consistently, even on the days her body is working against her. She started out using 4lb weights and is now pushing triple that amount. I love the confidence I see in her lately. She is proud of her body (as she should be!) and I know she’s proud of herself for sticking to her routine and staying on track. She just started adding Pilates training with me and I can’t wait to see the results she gets from adding that to her weight training workouts.
….
At my heaviest (185 lbs), I was deeply depressed, anxious, and sick more often than not. I knew something was wrong in my body, but appointment after appointment ended the same way: “Your labs are fine. Your BMI is healthy.”
The solution was always more medications to mask symptoms—never answers. And I just kept gaining weight… and losing myself.
Eventually, I said enough. I told my doctors I was done piling on medications and that I wanted to heal from the root—whether they supported me or not. I slowly weaned off what I could, found natural alternatives, and changed my diet. The scale started to move, but more importantly, I started listening to my body.
Still, I wasn’t well.
In 2023—after the intense grief of losing my mom and a terrifying hospital stay—I was finally diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases. For the first time, my doctors and I worked together on the right medications and real lifestyle changes.
The person I was in 2023 and the person I am in 2026 feel like two completely different lives.
Today, at 130lbs, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and genuinely happy in my body. I’ve fallen in love with movement and have stayed committed to 4–6 workouts a week for almost a year now. My health isn’t perfect—and it never will be—but it’s finally hopeful. And that means everything.
