Christy Bailey
Christy started working out at 18 years old after being inspired by a lady she worked with, who was a bodybuilder. She was tired of yo-yo diets and of starving herself. After she tarted exercising she began learning about eating healthy and different workout techniques. Being fit & healthy made her feel so much better about herself & she decided she wanted to help others to feel the same as she did.
Christy joined a gym at 22 years old. After moving to a new city & changing jobs, she had gained approx 60 lbs and was more determined than ever to get it off. She dedicated herself to losing the weight the correct way and refused to gain it back. She researched different workout programs and healthy eating habits. She taught myself about being healthy. After 8 years of working full time for another company, she decided it was time to start focusing on personal training. It was the BEST career change ever made. Being a personal trainer is the most rewarding job for Christy and is her passion. She loves helping others learn about healthy eating and getting fit. Seeing clients reach their goals is an awesome feeling.
She has been a personal trainer for a little over 8 years and worked at various gyms. So far she has helped clients to lose hundreds of pounds. Not only have they lost the weight, they’ve kept it off. They are now living a healthy lifestyle and know what it takes to maintain it. She loves to challenge clients and find things they enjoy doing. Every client gets a customized workout program and meal plan. She also tries to make exercising fun and be creative.
In 2009, she competed in mher1st Bikini Competition. She placed 3rd in her class. It was one of her biggest accomplishments to date. Sje wanted to compete for many years but did not have the courage to do so. With the encouragement of her husband and family, she conquered her fears.
