ABOUT CELESTE:

What got me into fitness?

Growing up, I struggled with anxiety and depression. Making fitness a key component in my life has helped me work on self-compassion. Through fitness, I’m continuously learning about myself and finding ways to either work around or strengthen my weaknesses. 

What does fitness mean to me?

First thing that comes to mind is ‘well-being’. It’s essential for your physical & mental health. Slows down the aging process, puts you in a good mood & helps to keep your weight down.

Count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.
