Hey, My name is Ralynn!
I am a mom to a beautiful baby boy, a wife to an amazing husband and an ACE certified personal trainer. Along with being a personal trainer, I am also a certified phlebotomist. Soccer was my first love and my passion. This passion began at 6 years old and continued through college. It taught me how far hard work, dedication, and focused energy can take me. I enjoy being outdoors hiking, kayaking and exploring. We work hard to make sure our son gets out and adventures with us whenever we can.
I started working out in middle school to help me process anger issues and to help me feel at home in my own skin. I honestly didn't even know what I was doing, but I made myself a home gym in my garage. Her Magazines were my go to for workout programs.
I grew up in Washington State and after high school I packed up my car and made the trek across country, by myself, to start new in Georgia. After working as a barista for a handful of years, this urge to do something else…something that fed my soul crept into me. In 2017 I began working in a local gym and that’s when it hit me that I have a talent for motivating and helping people with their fitness programs. The gym atmosphere was giving me life and this little seed was planted in my head that I should get certified to be a personal trainer. The work ethic was there, the experience was there, and the passion was there too. 2018 was the year I jumped in and decided my love for motivating and training was too big to ignore, so I got my ACE certification in Personal Training and was on my way.
Don’t fucking stop! When I am tired and I want to be done, I tell myself, “I know you’re tired, but you need to keep going”
I am both a cat and a dog person, DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!

These changes might be small changes, but remember to celebrate them because they did that. 6-8 weeks after you begin your journey, other people will begin to see those changes you noticed in your body.
Pro tip: The best way to see the changes in your body is to take pictures of before and afters and to take your body measurements at the start of your fitness journey and then at the end.

Yes, you can do these work outs at home. Most of my programs though are geared towards in-gym workouts unless specified otherwise.
If you are wanting to workout from home, this will take an investment in yourself. I recommend investing in to 2 sets of dumbbells (one heavy and one lighter) to see the best results in home.
You will get better results with having a variety of weights available for you to use. I write the majority of my programs in-gym because it gives you the room to move up in weight size without spending the money on a huge weight set.
