‘This is My Reason’ Project, taking place in Des Moines along with more locations around the Midwest, is a chance for women to be able to celebrate their healthy lifestyle they have chosen by coming together and sharing with YOU what it took to get there and WHY they do it. What is it that gets these women out of bed every single morning? We all have excuses, but what we really want to know is their REASON for doing what they do.

This platform is an opportunity for women of ALL fitness levels to inspire and motivate others, to also dig deep and find that reason. Health transcends in many different ways and this is a chance for all of those journeys to come together. We are here to show what it looks like to be an everyday person, who may or may not have had their struggles, made their health a priority in their life and how it has truly been life changing.

Because it is important.

Life is way too short to feel miserable or unhappy. We cannot give out best without being our best and that starts on the inside.

We all have our reason, do you what yours is?

Are you ready to share your reason? We’re ready to hear it!

Lying in bed with no motivation, feeling sluggish and tired, even though I had a full night sleep was how I started most of my mornings. I took my daily ibuprofen to try and calm the oncoming migraine I could feel blurring my vision. None of my clothes fit from the…

Today my reason is I am a fighter, a survivor, and I am able. I was born with a rare disease Recurrent Respiratory Papillomas (RRP growths grow on around vocal cords causing suffocation if left untreated). At the time I started working out I had eighteen surgeries on…
