Hello

I am Tina, one of the coaches and the gym manager at Pulse. After going through my own fitness journey filled with highs and lows, I have found my passion in helping people achieve balance in a healthy lifestyle.
 

"I Am A Mother of Four Who Always Put Myself Last!"
 

In 2010 after trying and failing so many times with every diet and exercise program imaginable I found Pulse. I really enjoyed my workouts and did lose a little weight, but I had always struggled with following through with good nutritional habits. Being a busy mother of four children, I often took comfort in food to deal with stress. I fell into the trap of putting myself last. When I did have free time, taking care of myself meant going to a fast-food drive thru alone. Even though I loved my workouts, I could not out exercise my poor diet and found myself 50 pounds heavier. I was embarrassed, here I was exercising with a trainer and gaining weight. My mindset was in such an unhealthy place, I knew that nutrition was the piece I was missing.
 

With the help and guidance of a coach, I slowly shifted my habits and focused on nutrition. Over the course of 3 years, I was able to lose 75 pounds! As the weight came off, mentally things started to change. Losing weight was my only goal to start but I gained so much more in my journey than that. Instead of running for the calorie burn, it turned into a passion that had nothing to do with weight loss. Combining exercise and nutrition really helped me cope with anxiety and depression. I found that patience, consistency, and balance were the keys to my success. Today, I can say that I feel better than I did 10 years ago!
 

When Jeff asked me to join the team at Pulse, I absolutely loved that I would have the opportunity to help others on their own journeys. Weight loss and fitness goals take time, but with dedication and perseverance it is possible. Getting started can be a difficult step for many people but at Pulse we hope to make that step less challenging.
