I’m a Wife, Mother, Sister, and Friend. A university professor by trade but opened a learning center this past summer for adolescent students in all subject areas.  I ran competitively in high school and college: cross-country, winter & spring track. 10000, 5000, Distance Medley, and Anchored the 4×8. After school, I continued distance running half marathons and other road races. Running has always been my fitness go-to. Love being outside and use that time for reflection and prayer. After receiving treatment for cervical/uterine cancer, I was incredibly weak and needed to rebuild my strength and heal my body. I have been training with Bristol for 3 yrs. Finding Bristol was a Godsend. He taught me about strength training, technique, and nutrition.Not only did I slowly recovery, but I began racing again stronger and faster.  Partner & group training classes push me each time. Love the energy and encouragement from the men and women we train with. I never feel that my fitness level plateaus. Bristol finds that next level and continues to introduce new exercises.  Since training with Bristol, I’ve realized how exercise can beused as a constant…for strength and energy for the body and mind. No matter what stresses life brings, training can be used as tool to manage it.    I have seen the changes in my body’s shape.  Especially my arms and back…was able to wear a backless wedding gown for all to see:) Thanks Bristol,  Martha

I have overcome many health challenges in the last 16 years that I have been training with Bristol. I was diagnosed with later stages of cervical cancer at 36 years old. The treatment plan was aggressive. It was surgery, radiation , internal radiation and chemotherapy …That was a fight that truly took my body 5 years to overcome . In the wake of treatment, I developed thyroid disease and nuclear radiation was necessary . Thyroid eye disease proceeded and digestive issues have been a daily struggle due to the amount of treatment my body endured. My journey in the fight against cancer created many health challenges following my treatment plan. I always refused to throw in the towel , and in the process I have reinvented myself.  I learned about natural health, nutrition and herbs. These were compliments to the clinical care I received that were necessary to heal. These certifications have proved invaluable to me. In the wake of my treatment there were constant health challenges to overcome. Bristol and I learned a lot together through the years. Not only did we make each other better but opened ourselves up to many educational programs together. We inspired one another and we pushed and pushed , never to give up!  I am committed to actively training with Bristol 3x weekly at Bodies by Bristol. Through his commitment and guidance ,I always keep my nutrition, weight and fitness achievements in check. Let’s face it.. It’s easier to do in your 30’s. than at 51. I thank Bristol for the mindfulness to always keep me at the top of my game.  My cardio of choice is spinning – Obsessed!  Yoga is a practice my  type A personality definitely needs to slow my roll !  My Profession as an interior designer brings me great joy! My company name is : Distinctive Image & Design . What a passion of mine! I am so blessed to get up everyday and enjoy what I do…..I have amazing clients who add another dimension to my life.
