About Heidi Egloff
Hi! I’m Heidi. If you’ve stumbled on this page, I want you to know how happy I am that you have. I hope my story is one that will encourage you to be a stronger version of yourself.
My whole life, I have struggled with insecurities and self-love and acceptance. I do not have some extreme weight-loss story or health scare to share with you, like a lot of other trainers on the internet. I am a normal girl, who for a long time believed the lies our culture fed me. Lies that told me I needed to look a certain way to be accepted. My struggle has not been with weight loss, but with losing myself because of who the world said I needed to be. I never felt good enough or like I measured up, and I based a lot of those feelings on physical attributes.
It wasn’t until my early-twenties that I found the Lord. Slowly but surely, He started revealing the lies that I had been believing about myself. He started breaking me down, and through that process, He ultimately built me up. I started to realize that my motivations for working out and restricting my diet stemmed from my insecurities and not knowing who I was in Christ. It was my way of trying to control the way I looked, and in turn, how I thought others perceived me. Finally, years later, I’ve been able to find freedom from those thoughts. I’ve chosen to stop believing those lies. I’ve grown to love myself because of who God says that I am and love my body because He gave it to me. I have shifted my “why,” and now I pursue living a healthy lifestyle because I love my body. Not because I hate it. Working out use to feed my insecurities, and now it’s one of the things that has helped to free me from them.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14.
We are His works. And His works are wonderful. My biggest hope in sharing with you is to help you recognize that you are beautiful NOW. Just as you are. Not the thinner version of you. Not the more toned version of you. Not the cleaned up version of you. Just YOU.
If you’ve read this far, it’s probably because you’re ready to take control of your health and start making changes. I’m so proud of you for getting to this point! Start your journey knowing that you’re already beautiful. Do this because you love your body and want to be good to it.
I’ve found so much freedom through these realizations, and I am determined to help you find it as well. I want to help you become a happier, healthier, stronger version of yourelf- physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Let’s do this together, and remember, strong wasn’t built in a day.
Xoxo,
Heidi
