🏆 Pure and Simple Fitness is a Cincy Power Award Winner 🏆

What if I told you I was afraid to start Pure and Simple Fitness back in 2020??

We started during COVID with all workouts being done virtually.

I knew then that this calling was bigger than me and so I kept going… afraid and all.

Our Story

✨In 2020 I became a Certified Personal Trainer to help my clients get stronger and leaner.

✨In 2021, I became a 200hr Yoga instructor because I realized my community needed more mindful movement that allowed for more mobility and flexibility.

✨In 2022, I had my first bodybuilding competition taking home awards in each category!

✨In 2023, I became a Certified Nutrition Coach because I realized through my own bodybuilding journey and helping my clients that nutrition is a HUGE factor with the wellness journey.

✨I also published my book, ❇️Intentional Wellness❇️ explaining how to get out of our own way and be intentional about our health and wellness for good! It also has daily affirmations as well as a daily habit tracker to help you along your journey. It’s also full of colorful pages because I can be a tad bit extra. Lol. Grab yours! 📖

✨In 2024, I launched my nonprofit, the Youth Wellness Initiative (also a Cincy Power Award winner🏆). I realized our youth are part of a health epidemic, obesity. We provide fun fitness, mindful movement, and nutrition guidance to help this crisis. We worked with almost 300 youth in our first year and sponsored 6 youth in the Ebony J Media Center to be able to learn media at no cost to them to help the youth build confidence in themselves with a skill they enjoy!

✨In 2025, we messed around and won the @cinciherald Cincy Power Award for Best Fitness Class and Best Youth Program! 🏆 🙌🏾

The point I’m making is… DO IT AFRAID!

Especially when it benefits the greater good of the community! This ain’t never been about earning awards or being popular (I’m an introvert and would much rather not be seen 🥴)

But God said I had a job to do!

🙏🏾Thank you Cincinnati for your votes and for seeing the importance of health and wellness. Together we can get on the other side of this health crisis!
