Wow – I am so excited to introduce you to Robin Bourdeau through her personal trainer brand photos today! Robin’s story is absolutely inspiring and she is going to help so many people live the lives they were meant to live.
We met up a few weeks ago in Shirlington for her personal trainer brand photos. She had gathered a few of her friends so she could teach them yoga in the park.
Throughout Robin’s personal trainer brand photos session I was impressed with how centered, focused, and serene she was, and it struck me how fantastic she must be at her work.
Keep reading to learn more about Robin and her business, and to see her personal trainer brand photos:
Like so many women, I had a demanding career and family that I prioritized over myself. Before I knew it, I was 270 pounds and unrecognizable. Having been an athlete and coach, this was unacceptable to me, but I was not yet ready to change. Then, in December 2006, I went on vacation to Florida with my family. We were going on the Hulk ride, and I was trying to get strapped in. I couldn’t. Everyone else was ready, and there I was screaming for help, panicked that the ride would start and I would be left dangling without being strapped in. The attendant finally came and had to stand on the bar to get it down and hook me in. I was frightened and humiliated, and it was at that point that I determined this would never happen again.
So, on January 1, 2007 I began the journey to change: committed to healthy eating and regular exercise. Over the course of that year, I lost over 100 pounds but gained so much more. I now had energy and confidence. I felt better than ever before. I have kept that weight off for over 10 years now, and I am passionate about helping others do the same. In October 2018, I left my professional career to dedicate my time to helping women lose weight, look and feel great.
I help women who are struggling to lose weight fit into their favorite clothes and live, look, feel fabulous. I work to connect mind, body, heart, and soul to facilitate complete and lasting transformation. I do this through individual weight loss coaching, personal training, yoga, and Pilates.
I am passionate about helping women become their best selves, find their strength, confidence and energy to do things they may have never thought possible.
My motivation comes from watching strong women step up, be persistent and determined to be their best. I am blessed to have a legacy of strong women in my family who have shown me how to live a strong but loving and kind life.
My mom has been my wisest mentor. Having been my coach growing up in gymnastics and now my coach in life, she has taught me incredible lessons in love, service, wisdom, and perseverance.
People may not know right away that I have had such a wide range of experience, from coaching gymnastics to owning a gym. From scheduler to leadership in a corporate environment. They may not also know that I’ve been there. I’ve been so overweight that I couldn’t reach down and tie my shoes or put the tray table down on an airplane or walk 50 feet in the sand to get to the ocean. All of these experiences influence who I am today, the compassion I feel for others, the dedication I have to helping people change.
I help hardworking women who are struggling to lose weight, have tried every diet, or have just realized they must make a change and are ready to commit to themselves.
My vision is to help as many as possible through individual and group coaching, offering seminars and retreats.
