The goal of Poppy Fitness is to provide you resources, motivation, support, workout tips, and a community while you are on your athletic journey. whether you are training for a 1/2 marathon, a weekend warrior, or competing on the college stage being an athlete is a mindset.
As a Division 1 scholarship athlete, competitive gymnastics coach, performance coach, and personal trainer/group fitness instructor I know the work is gritty and the hustle isn’t shiny. It takes a lot of hard work but hard work is what we do.
Behind every strong athlete is empowerment. My goal as a coach is to show you how to tap into your inner confidence. To teach you that you have the power to take control of your training.
Why is it worth it?
Mind-Body Connection.
Being an athlete is all about the mind-body connection. It is not just about what you do but how you do it. This includes understanding what muscles you are using and how to activate them. It is also about being aware of and directing your emotions in a positive and productive way.
Confidence.
Being confident in yourself as a person is the first step in becoming confident in yourself as an athlete. Confidence is always a priority. If you don’t believe in yourself you will never Tap into your true potential.
Strength.
Strength is beauty. It is something you should be proud of and share with the world. One of the best things about being an athlete is building not just physical strength but more importantly mental strength.
