About Sammi

Growing up, I didn't really participate in sports or focus on fitness. Sure, I did the required gym classes and failed all of my fitness tests every time.

I loved to dance, but that was for fun, not for working out. I also loved eating - like, a lot. Especially pasta (still my all-time favorite).

In college, I was clinically diagnosed with an eating disorder. :(

I'm not going to lie and say I don't still struggle - I do. Some days are better, some days are worse, but I've learned to manage my issues in a healthy way.

You've probably heard people joke: LOL, I only workout so I can eat.

For me, this isn't a joke, it's a reality.

Working out has really helped me to overcome a lot of my mental challenges and become healthier and stronger. I may not be the strongest or fittest physically, but strength really starts from within.
