About Kjell

While I used to run my own outdoor boot camp business, I now am part of a local gym that has me running the class 3 days a week. I have dedicated myself to being a beacon of light in an industry that is body obsessed, ridden with relentless pressure, and confuses people about how they should look , what to or not to eat, or what they should be doing to keep fit. I believe in being healthy and strong, rather than some unrealistic beauty standard shown in the media.

I am proud of being able to manage my home/kids and still find time to get out and do the thing I love, which is training and empowering women through health and fitness.
