LEXI HORNSBY
Fitness Trainer, Founder
If I'm telling you my story we have to throw it way back because it all started 3 generations ago, really. My grandmother discovered a burning passion for teaching aerobics and naturally my mother grew into a love for fitness herself. It didn't take long for me to follow the family trend and even as a student in grade school I was going to my mother's fitness classes. Out of high school I started teaching classes myself beginning with kids fitness (my first love!) and working up to step aerobics, boot camp classes, yogalates, and more!
Eventually teaching classes wasn't enough, I wanted to do more! In 2013 I graduated from the National Personal Training Institute after 6 months of classes and practical training. That same year I also met the love of my life and we got married in 2014! We struggled as I tried to build up my career and after a while I made the decision to take my life in a different direction and left my gym life behind to purse a career in sales in order to find financial stability. Long story short, money isn't everything! Although I was extremely successful as a saleswoman I still ended up falling deep into depression since I wasn't doing what I loved. I became lazy and ate my feelings (guilty as charged!).
In 2017 our lives forever changed when we found out were having a baby girl! The idea of becoming a mom gave me a new purpose and I became aware of just how unhealthy my life had became. I started paying attention to what I ate and actually lost weight while pregnant. It took me some time to really find my full drive and motivation because I was trying to balance "me time" with being a new mom all while battling postpartum depression. As I am writing this I am over 80 pounds lighter than what I weighed when I found out I was pregnant!
Health and fitness means more to me now than it ever has. I look back at how miserable my life was without exercise and I swore to myself I would never go back. Although I have came a long way my journey is no where close to complete! Every day I strive to become a better ME - that's a better mom to my beautiful Denver Rain, a better wife to my wonderful Trent, and a better friend and positive influence to my friends and family! That's where Bby Fit started. Bby Fit is an acronym for "Be the Best You Fitness" because we all have a unique journey and a specific goal with an idea of the person we want to be! So take all of your comparisons to the Victoria's Secret models or the Kardashians or that "bad-ass and half-naked" girl at the gym and throw them out the window. They can motivate you but keep in mind that you will never be them but instead you will be something better which is the best version of the already beautifully unique and amazing YOU! Join me in focusing on nothing other than the old you vs. the new you and take each step towards being the best YOU that YOU can be!
