Stop starting over. Work with an online fitness coach who’s been there.
A plan built around your real life, a coach who actually checks in, and habits you can keep. I’m Hillary: certified since 2018, and I lost 120+ pounds myself.
Takes about 5 minutes. Applying doesn’t commit you to anything.

Who I coach
You’re in the right place if:
- You’re brand new to working out, or starting again after a long break.
- You’re a busy parent, and your workouts have to fit around everyone else’s schedule.
- You’ve tried the diets and the programs, and you’re tired of being either “on track” or completely off it.
- Strength training feels intimidating, and you want someone to teach you how to do it right.
- You have a race on the calendar: a 5K, a marathon, HYROX or a Tough Mudder.
- You’re over 55, coming back after surgery or physical therapy, or training through pregnancy or after a baby.
“Will I actually get attention online?”
Yes. I review every check-in myself, adjust your program and answer your messages in the app. You’re never just a name on a screen.
“Even though we aren’t physically training together, I never feel like I’m doing this alone.”
What changes when you have a coach in your corner
You stop guessing
Your program is built around your goals, your experience and the equipment you actually have, at the gym or at home. Open the app and today’s workout is waiting, with demo videos to show you how.
Someone notices
You check in, I review it, and your plan changes with you. Rough week? We talk about what happened and make a plan for the next one. No guilt trips.
You get stronger, and you can see it
You log your weights, reps and personal records in the app, so your progress is right there in front of you.
Food gets easier
In The Build, The Evolution and The Performance, I help you with the basics that matter most: protein, portions, hydration and fueling your training. No starving yourself to see progress.
Your confidence grows
My clients tell me the biggest change isn’t on the scale. It’s how they feel about themselves.
“I’m stronger physically, but the confidence I’ve gained in myself has been the biggest transformation.”
Why work with me
I know what it’s like to be on the other side of a major lifestyle change, because I’ve made one. Losing more than 120 pounds taught me that fitness is about so much more than the number on the scale.
I’m also a mom of two, so I know what it takes to keep showing up when life gets busy.
My approach is simple. No cookie-cutter programs, no unrealistic expectations, and definitely no all-or-nothing mentality.
What my clients say
“Hillary helped me get out of that all-or-nothing mindset. I’ve learned how to eat foods I enjoy, train consistently, and still live my life. For the first time, this feels like something I can actually maintain.”
“When I started, I was intimidated by strength training and honestly didn’t think I was capable of doing half of what I can do now.”
“What I appreciate most about Hillary is that I never feel judged.”
“She doesn’t coach from a place of perfection. She coaches from experience.”
