LIZ - Key Persons

Elizabeth Coronado is PTA Global certified. 2013-2014: This was a difficult time in my life. I never thought I had a problem until I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks. I felt weak, powerless, and like there would be no light again. I was never really into eating healthy and exercising; but in a time of desperation, what did I have to lose? With the support of friends; I started eating healthier, dropped the junk food and started hitting the gym in the mornings before work. I loved the way I started to feel by making small changes to the way I ate or exercised. I spent a lot of time meditating, breathing and thinking about who I wanted to become and my goals to acquire mental and physical strength. This time was spent on "re-creating" myself. 2015: I was determined to change my life. I lost 100+ pounds. I met some strong, amazing, and supportive individuals in the fitness industry that mentor me and brought out the best in me. I started barbell and kettlebell training. (There really is no feeling like the feeling of having doubts about pressing a barbell over your head for the first time and to your surprise being able to do it easily). I believe that was the turning point in my life that told me that I was stronger than I actually thought I was and from that moment on I wanted to see how much stronger I can become. What panic attacks? All that went away. Food; once an emotional outlet became fuel for these amazing epiphanies during my training sessions. I wanted to help others be their best too; so without hesitation I made my transition from a secondary education teacher to a NASM certified personal trainer. 2016: This year brought on an exciting and unexpected turn as I am pregnant with my first baby. Now at 27 weeks I've never been this happy and healthy in my life. I am still working out and eating well. Along with my goals to get stronger, and to never stop learning and applying new training principles. I can now add to my list of goals; and that goal is, to be an amazing mom for this little one on the way. I don't plan on ever going back I am always moving forward to keep being the best version of myself.
