Meet the Coaches: Brittany’s Story

For as long as I can remember, I carried extra weight—and with it came the constant frustration of feeling like I was always starting over. Every “new plan” or “quick fix” I tried never seemed to stick. I would get excited, follow a program for a few weeks, then watch the motivation fade and the old habits creep back in.

By 2016, I had reached my breaking point. I was tired of starting over, tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own body, and tired of believing lasting change wasn’t possible for me. That year, I made a promise to myself: no more quick fixes. This time, I was going to take my health seriously.

I didn’t have all the answers at first—far from it. I started with random workouts and bits of advice I found online. I stumbled a lot. I experimented, I failed, I learned, and I kept going. Slowly, I began to understand how my body responded to training and nutrition. Small adjustments added up, and I started to see progress.

As time went on, my goals got bigger and harder. I pushed myself in ways I never thought possible. I celebrated small wins—running a little farther, lifting a little heavier, saying “no” when old habits tried to pull me back. I also faced setbacks, moments where the scale didn’t move or when life made consistency feel impossible. But step by step, I kept showing up. And eventually, I lost 60 pounds.

That transformation wasn’t just physical. It reshaped how I saw myself and what I believed I was capable of. And it opened a door to something I hadn’t expected: a true community.

When I joined RayFit, I wasn’t just signing up for another gym. I became part of a team that believed in me on the days I struggled to believe in myself. The support, the energy, and the knowledge I found here pushed me to the next level. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I was doing this alone.

Today, I train with a new purpose. I’m not just working out for myself anymore—I’m training because I want to help others who have struggled the way I did. I want to show people who think they’ve “tried everything” that change is possible. I want to remind them that progress doesn’t come from being perfect; it comes from refusing to quit.

If you’re feeling stuck, if you’re frustrated, if you feel like you’re always starting over, hear this: you are not alone, and you are not broken. You don’t have to transform overnight. You just have to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

Your future self will thank you.
