If you would have told me back in 2014 that one day I’d be the coach LEADING workout classes, I would have laughed in your face, called you an idiot, and walked away needing a drink. 😂
2014 Alexxis rarely moved her body, rarely acted intentionally, and certainly wasn’t getting up in front of people to teach anything. She loved her desk job, Tampa strip clubs, day drinking on the beach, and late-night Wendy’s runs.
2015 Alexxis faced a lot: a depression + ADD diagnosis, job loss, and heartbreak.
This was the year she found God again, started dabbling in self-awareness, and hired a personal trainer.
But the goal wasn’t health…
2016 changed everything.
A big move to NYC.
No friends. No family. Just me, cold weather, packed trains, and the chaos of figuring life out in a city that never stopped moving. 😩😍
2017 kicked off my obsession with how I looked.
Two-a-days.
Five days a week.
Little sleep.
Sometimes barely eating.
I became obsessed with shrinking myself.
Every pound lost felt like proof I was finally doing something right. 🫠
2018 brought another heartbreak—and an even more strained relationship with food.
No recovery.
No rest.
No listening.
Just go.
Just do.
Never just be.
Then came 2019.
A trip to Puerto Rico.
A jump rope.
Weak ankles.
One Achilles rupture.
And just like that…
Life sat me ALL the way down.
Surgery.
Rehab.
Healing.
Starting over.
For the first time, my body wasn’t asking me to push harder.
It was BEGGING me to slow down.
That’s when I found Pilates.
What started as rehabilitation quickly became a relationship.
For the first time, movement felt intentional instead of obsessive.
Supportive instead of restrictive.
Sustainable instead of extreme.
And somewhere along the way, the girl terrified of being seen became the woman teaching others how to reconnect with themselves through movement.
Funny how life works, huh?
Sometimes the thing that breaks you is the very thing that introduces you to yourself. 💜
✨ What’s one unexpected detour in your life that ended up changing everything for the better?•
