A one-time Olympic hopeful marathon runner, I was a very successful athlete yet I was so empty inside that I would fill myself with the "fad" of the day. I was lost. I considered myself a Christian since I believed in Jesus for my eternal life, but I didn't know Him in my daily life. Consequently, I suffered from abuse, eating disorders, drug addiction, immorality, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, and divorce. In order for me to get well I needed to know what wellness looked like. Asking Jesus to change my life, I started reading the Bible, talking with Christian friends, and seeking sound pastoral advice. I discovered how to keep Jesus front and center every day. Then I took this knowledge and applied it to what I already knew about physical fitness and wellness training; Faith Centered Fitness was born.
Kimberly is a personal trainer and group fitness instructor with over 30 years experience in the industry. She ties together physical and spiritual wholeness in a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
