My heart is bursting! I’m speechless! After more than 500 hours of grind, grit, determination, and a few tears, I am officially a certified pilates instructor! I am grateful to so many people for helping me achieve this dream! Thank you to @nandini_basu and @spinguypilates for being the most supportive, caring, and guiding Master Trainers! I literally would not be here without your patience, guidance, and support! Thank you to @koalastarpilates ! Girl…. there’s honestly so much I want to thank you for that I can’t even fit it into this post, but working with me through my test out after working a 6 hour shift is just one example of how you’re seriously a rockstar and the most supportive friend a woman could ask for. Thank you to my boyfriend @nevadaschaefer for letting me practice on you and doing countless hours of pilates that you thought was “way too hard that it’s rediculous” when all you wanted to do was play basketball. thank you to @pilatesbydevon @pilates.with.leah @ashschnitzer @erindecoursey Annie, Chrissie, and Thalia and all the other teachers who made time in their already busy schedules to give me their wisdom, feedback, tips, inspiration and even bodies to practice on. Thank you to @erinelizabeth_itm for being my ride-or-die through 6 weeks of in-studio days and giving me the pep talks I needed to keep going and not give up. To all my friends who came and took class from me so i could practice on your bodies, I am forever grateful. And to all of my family at @clubpilates_weho , from my fellow students who let me assistant teach them, to the front desk, to management, my heart is so full because of you. You all have cheered me on and supported me in more ways than I can count throughout this process and I would not have realized this dream without you. @maddiebarenberg @younggsunshine @makalaraethomas and Stephen! It takes a village y’all! 😂 Here’s to the beginning of a new chapter! I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Cadillac got my shoulders jacked today! Core day is no joke y’all! Halfway through week 3 of the 12 week fitness challenge! Lesss go! #pilates #fitness #pilateslovers #workout #pilatesreformer #fitnessmotivation #fit #health #wellness #motivation #pilatesstudio #pilatesbody #pilatescadillac #training #pilateslife #cadillacpilates #exercise
Week 7 IS HERE!!! Which means a Brand New Monday Workout! Monday’s Workout: Good Mornings Sumo Squat Seated Hamstring Curl Cable Kick Abduction Unilateral Seated Calves Our bodies are incredible adaptation machines so it’s always important to add new stimulus to continue making progress! Over these last 6 weeks of my 12 week fitness challenge, I’m increasing the volume on the weakest parts of my body like my glutes and hamstrings, and just doing enough volume to maintain the muscle in areas like my back, shoulders, biceps & triceps. Really happy with my progress so far! Starting week 5, I also added in 30 minutes of incline walking to help break through a plateau instead of dropping calories. Cardio is a great tool once I learned how to use it. I rely mainly on strength training and only use cardio as a way to increase my deficit. I also start with a small amount of cardio, so I have somewhere to go as I progress. #letsgo #tiffersarmy #wegotthis #12weekchallenge #fitnesschallenge #healthandwellness #gymgirl #workoutoftheday #workout #fitness #health
Happy Friday everyone! Week 3 is in the books and we’re heading into week 4 of the 12 week fitness challenge! A lot of people only focus on the aesthetic changes that happen when you follow a healthy lifestyle, but for me, the real treasures are the benefits you can’t see on the outside! Besides the physical changes in my body… my mental, emotional, and spiritual health are blossoming as well! There’s no better feeling in the world than living in your light, feeling powerful, and embracing joy! Lesss go week 4! #tiffersarmy is coming for ya! ❤️💪🏽😜 #fitnesschallenge #healthandwellness #gymgirl #workoutoftheday #workout #fitness #health

Week 1 is in the books and it’s on to week 2! Lessss gooooooo! #fitnesschallenge #healthandwellness #gymgirl #workoutoftheday #workout #fitness #health #healthylifestyle
Packing in that Protein! Getting adequate protein is so important during my 12 week fitness challenge! Since I’m eating in a deficit, I want to make sure my body burns body fat and not the lean muscle I’ve been working so hard to build. I do that 2 ways: 1: I continue lifting heavy sending a signal to my body that the muscle is essential and to burn the fat instead and 2: I keep my protein high so it supports the anabolic muscle building process. Here’s an example of how I pack protein into my first meal of the day! In addition to my breakfast, I also add a scoop of @corenutritionals Iso Chocolate Decadence Protein powder to my coffee! How much protein do you add to your meals? Any favorite protein sources or sneaky ways of getting it in? Send them my way! Week 2 is almost in the books #tiffersarmy Lessss goooo! #fitnesschallenge #healthandwellness #gymgirl #workout #fitness #health #protein #fitnesshacks
