Brooke Heaton Here!
and I will be your tour guide through this fitness journey so buckle up and enjoy the ride! Haha, I’m just partly kidding. For over the past 8 years, I have been training clients one on one in the simplest terms to GET STRONGER and MOVE BETTER. In my experience, my clients meet their goals when consistency, discipline, and a heck of a lot of patience are ALL non negotiable. I’m here to take the guess work out of the process and put some fun in it too! Check out my Instagram to see me in action! For the record, I’m an introvert but extroverted when I feel like it.
Before becoming a NASM, certified Personal Trainer, I took on the toughest job in the world, raising 4 kids …I call them my 4 reasons because they made me who I am today, frazzled, again, just partly kidding! I did start regular resistance training after the birth of my second child and first hand experienced the power of building muscle and the resulting change of body composition. Before then, cardio was king and weights took a back seat. Reason being was it was uncomfortable/intimidating for me to be on the weight floor doing things I wasn’t good at. Well, fast forward many years and countless hours of practice, I am extremely passionate about educating and empowering people to resistance train … pick up heavy things and put them back down (safely of course).
Did I mention I have a Dietetics degree from Arizona State University? Life is too short to be following strict diets, not to mention unrealistic. Prescribing a diet or meal plan is not my deal. What I do is EDUCATE and provide resources so you can find what works for you. Moderation is key especially when it comes to eating habits. Restrict yourself and see what happens, yeah, not good. Small changes over time is where it’s at. Food is fuel not therapy so eat what powers you!
When I’m not training my peeps or myself you might find me enjoying a strong cup of coffee, being “Mom” to my 4 reasons, learning (aka. struggling on the mats) jiu-jitsu at Gracie Barra Encinitas, or hanging around my beautiful town of Encinitas, CA. But seriously, you will most likely find me at the gym or on the mats doing my thing and supporting the ones I care about. Hope I get a chance to meet and learn a little about you because I’m tired of talking about me!
