Meet Grace!
Graceful Gainz was born from my own journey of rediscovery. As a competitive gymnast and diver throughout my childhood and high school years, sports were a central part of my life. But when I stepped away from that world, I found myself feeling lost. I gained weight and struggled to find direction—until I found refuge in the gym. Fitness became my outlet and a way to regain control, not just of my body but of my life.
Over the years, I've gained invaluable experience in various areas of fitness. From coaching competitive gymnastics to managing a group fitness facility, and working with the geriatric population on strength, stamina, and stability, my passion for fitness has grown stronger. Now, I’m focusing on helping individuals through 1:1 training, both in person and online, with Graceful Gainz.
Graceful Gainz was designed to help you become the best version of yourself—through fitness, exercise, and healthy habits. I know life can be busy, and that's why I created a program that works anytime, anywhere. Through our online app, you'll receive personalized 1:1 workouts and nutrition coaching tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re at home, in the gym, or on the go, you can accomplish your goals and make fitness a part of your everyday life.
My personal experience with rheumatoid arthritis fuels my passion. Having been diagnosed at a young age, I understand firsthand how exercise can be the best medicine. Fitness has played a crucial role in managing my autoimmune disease, and I believe in its transformative power for others.
When I’m not working, you can find me outdoors with my two dogs, Debo and Rico. We love going on hikes, long walks, and car rides—and of course, they’re a bit spoiled! I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, trying out new restaurants (I’m a foodie at heart!), playing a little pickleball, and hitting the slopes in the winter for some skiing.At Graceful Gainz, we’re here to help you build strength, confidence, and a healthier lifestyle—no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Let’s get started!
