Our Founding Story

Be Free Fitness was born out of a journey of transformation, perseverance, and an unshakable belief in the power of community. My name is Christian, and my story begins with a deep personal struggle that became the foundation for helping women reclaim their health, self-worth, and joy.

For much of my life, I battled with my weight and self-esteem. Losing 120 pounds was not just a physical transformation but a victory over self-doubt, grief, and the limiting beliefs that had held me back for years. This transformation didn’t happen overnight—it was the result of hard work, faith, and a determination to rewrite my story.

But it wasn’t just about the weight loss. My journey was deeply influenced by personal loss, including losing both of my parents and my sister to cancer. These experiences pushed me to prioritize my health and, ultimately, to create a space where other women could do the same. I knew firsthand how hard it is to fight for yourself, but I also knew the incredible rewards of coming out on the other side.

With the unwavering support of my husband, who believed in my vision, I took a leap of faith. I sold my house and purchased a small church, turning it into the heart of what would become Be Free Fitness. This was more than a fitness studio—it was a sanctuary for women seeking not just weight loss but freedom: freedom from shame, unhealthy habits, and the belief that they had to go it alone.

Be Free Fitness became a space where women could feel empowered, supported, and loved. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant community offering over 100 classes a month, nutritional guidance, and workshops that address the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of health. Our mission is to help women learn to love themselves through the transformative power of fitness, nutrition, and a community that feels like family.

At Be Free Fitness, we believe that true transformation happens when you take care of your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. It’s not about quick fixes or impossible standards. It’s about creating a sustainable lifestyle that prioritizes movement, self-care, and connection.

Every class, every workshop, and every conversation at Be Free Fitness is a testament to the incredible strength of women. I am honored to lead this community and to witness the lives being transformed within our walls. Together, we are redefining what it means to be strong, healthy, and free.

Be Free Fitness is not just my dream—it’s a movement. A movement for every woman who has ever felt like she wasn’t enough, who has fought to overcome life’s challenges, and who is ready to take back her power.

This is our story. Welcome to Be Free Fitness—where you are loved, supported, and empowered to become the best version of yourself.
