As a Personal Trainer for over 12 years, one of the questions I often get is “how many days per week should I be working out?”                                         (outfit details by adidas) The answer can vary based on an individuals schedule, time, injuries, etc. but there is a common structure that I believe in. What I would looove to see my clients doing is picking up the weights 2-3 days per week! (1 is always better than none as well and I’ve had many clients make amazing progress on ..read more

Happy December, my friends! Dang has time been flying. Ever since opening the Studio, I swear the months are speeding by.  As much as I’m a summer girlie, the holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. If you’re anything like me, I love to give gifts. There’s something about watching someone open something that you put thought and effort into and seeing their reaction. In both sides of our families and with my girlfriends we’ve implemented a lot of “secret santa” name picking this year where you choose a name, keep it to yourself, and then when you get together they have to ..read more

After many years of ideas, visions, dreams, & hard word, we opened our own Studio!! Let me introduce you to True Training Studio right here in Bristol, Rhode Island. I honestly can’t believe we’re already 2 months in as time is truly flying by (especially when you’re having fun).  We’ve put literal blood, sweat, tears, and hard work into this space and it wouldn’t even be a thing without my amazing husband, clients, friends, & family that have truly supported us along the way.  Not sure they even realize how truly thankful I am for each and every one of them. If you’ve b ..read more

Happy Friday, friends! How are we doing? Summer is in full swing and I loooove getting in an outdoor workout whenever possible. If you’re anything like me, sometimes Friday workouts are a little bit harder to get motivated for than a Monday workout. Just me? To get in some movement, switching it up into something a different may help motivate you to get that workout in! I’m a big believer in the basic lifting movements with progressive overloading principles always being my go-to’s, but sometimes it’s fun to switch it up with some combo moves. I threw on my new favorite loose shorts which I o ..read more

HAPPY SUMMER FRIENDS! I can’t believe it’s already here, my favorite time of year! If you’re anything like me, soaking up the sun and warmer temperatures is one of my life’s greatest pleasures and my friends at Adidas are helping us dress the part. I’ve put together some of my top go-to looks to share with you all with the help of my adorable fur-nephew, Gus, who is totally hired from now on…shout out to my bestie Gabs for letting me borrow her son for the shoot. JUST LOOK AT THAT SMILE. Pro tip: highly suggest putting a fanny pack waist bag ($28) on your dog to carry all the treats and poop ..read more

This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx. Can you believe it’s 2022?! These days, weeks, & months are truly flying back, yet sometimes feel to be going super slow. Anyone else? I was just chatting with one of my clients and we were talking about how everyone around us is either sick, tired, or needing a break. It’s interesting because I feel like everyone feels this huge pressure when we strike a new year, that we need to have everything together and kick off with a BANG. When in reality, a lot of us are tired from the holidays, moving (like us), & sometimes can go into the new year relaxi ..read more

I know what you’re thinking with the title of this post….back to school!? but Kasey, we just got into the summer!! I TOTALLY HEAR YOU because I am the number 1 summer lover over here…but, I’m also a planner and love to share some of my favorite things with you all so you’ll be ahead of the game come school time! I may be 32 years old (on saturday!) but I’m using a lunch bag now more than I did in elementary school. Being a traveling trainer and being in and out of my car so much during they day, I tend to bring drinks and food along for the ride. I’m obsessed with my insulated adidas l ..read more

Happy Thursday, friends!! I just had WAY too much fun on Instagram Live being a DIY-er and making my own candles!   Not sure if you’re like me, but I have an….issue….with candles. I buy too many and my husband’s like, ummm we still have 25 to get through? And I say, “BUTTTTTTT this one smells so good!” One day, after finishing a yogurt, I looked at the cute little glass jar it was in and felt bad throwing it away. I thought, hm, I could use this for something? I realized I had all of my Now Foods essential oils and thought, I could make candles!! And I swear, if I can do this, YOU ..read more

Sometimes you have to side-step in order to move forward. Read that again. I was on the phone the other day with my brother from another mother, @sambrownstrength, & we were chatting about the last year, trusting the process with my training, & my client’s journeys as well. He said, ya know, sometimes you have to side-step in order to move forward. How often in life do we have a plan, but life throws a step off to the side that you have to walk on before you can continue forward. It happens in so many areas of our every day but especially in a fitness journey. Trust me, last ye ..read more

There can be a ton of confusion in the Fitness Industry when it comes to social media on what is the best program to follow to build muscle, get stronger, & make progress? And I totally get why it’s overwhelming. With swipe workouts on every post and people doing single leg squats off of railings, it can be overwhelming to know where to look to find a program that works for you. If I recall back to my 20 year old self, who was just making a dent in the lifting world, I used an old school bodybuilding website with a known trainer and followed her plan to a T. We did ALL the basics. Pull, p ..read more
