ANGIE BARNETT-FITNESSDIRECTOR
My name is Angie Barnett. I have been a wellness and fitness coach for over 22 years. I believe that mental health and physical health go hand and hand. I grew up in a small town in middle Georgia and was unhappy with my life. Growing up in a high-control religion, I didn’t feel like I had any agency over my life. I began to workout at an early age in order to take control over my life. Personal fitness helped my build my self confidence and self awareness, which evolved into POWER. I gained the courage to move away from that small town and create a life of my own in a metropolis.
During my 20+ years of training, I have worked with dozens of clients. One client in particular showed me how fitness is not just physical, it is mental as well. In 2 years, we worked together get 100lbs off. However, when we would accomplish a milestone of 25-50lbs, they would quickly regain the weight. The routine was consistent. Meal plan in place. We couldn’t figure out what was going on. After much thought, I asked my client to journal their feelings. During the journaling we saw that they wanted to be more out of life. They didn’t feel comfortable in their own skin and were afraid to be loose weight. Once we got a support system and a safe environment where they could be themselves, the weight came and STAYED off. He dropped 130lbs with in 8 months.
It is my belief that weight is a shield disguised as a form of protection against something that we are scared to face within. It is my mission to assist those who want to to tone up, release weight and gain control of their lives. My clients describe my training style as focused, patient, supportive and progressive. This is NOT EASY. But it is worth the work.
My curated program is designed to help heal the mind, body, spirit. We all should feel safe mentally and physically in order to achieve the power we desire.

RAEJEAN MARSHALL
I’m Raejean Marshall. I have been in the PT field for going on 3 years. I used to be 230 pounds, I am now currently 127. One day I woke up and decided ENOUGH was ENOUGH. If you want to change, you have to be willing to MAKE the change. So I began. It was hard and treacherous at first because my body was not used to the physical activity. Over time, I noticed changes that made me decide that I wanted to live this lifestyle, Full-time. I decided that I wanted to help and motivate other people like myself to get to their prime form inside and out and remain there! We all have low moments, but what matters is that we keep our head high and keep pushing forward!
