I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by Atlas Wearables, a health and fitness technology company, who partners with another health and fitness company, Valencell, that I have had the honor of working with for the past 5 years at CES. Valencell creates the biometric sensor technology that companies like Atlas use in their wearable devices! Check out the interview below!

Start off by telling us about yourself and your journey! How did you get into fitness?

Fitness has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started dance at two years old, gymnastics at four, and continued with both for pretty much my entire life. I still do both almost every day, whether it’s either doing or coaching.

My dad would let me work out with him and I credit him with teaching me how to do proper push-ups and headstands in our living room. My mom let me go with her to her step aerobics classes. My high school cheer coach and my high school boyfriend and his dad all introduced me to the gym and lifting weights. I knew as early as eight years old I wanted to own my own gym and coach when I grew up.
