"Welcome to the God Ordained Fitness Community! I am so glad you’re here. I am so excited to use my passion for fitness as a tool to honor God, and encourage others who are searching for more, not just in their workouts, but in life. So a little about me…I’m an athlete at heart. I have always loved fitness. I was a Collegiate Gymnast at the University of Alabama. I had a career ending back injury that lead to an extreme identity crisis and I poured myself into working out, became a personal trainer, ran marathons, and was obsessed with body image. Very quickly, my already obsessive and unhealthy behaviors became life consuming and out of control. I was at rock bottom and didn’t know my way out. I can still remember a mentor of mine saying to me, “Courtney, you’ve been working your whole life on your body, let God work on your heart.” And while it was no snap of the fingers, that perspective shift not only changed my life, it saved my life. So fast forward 2 decades, I’m a certified personal trainer and while my passion still is fitness, my approach has completely changed. The amount of time I spend in the gym has drastically decreased, and my motivation during those workouts has changed from achieving the idolized perfect body, to a means of worship and glorifying God through moving this body He created! Over the past 15 years, after leaving the fitness world, working in corporate America, having 2 kids, and coming back into the industry, I have learned so much and I can’t wait to share it with you and do this together! I want you to experience so much more than a great workout. I want you to experience fitness that’s God ordained. Let’s go do this!"
