Meet Hillary Meyers: personal trainer, marathon runner, mom of two

Hey, I’m Hillary! I’m a certified personal trainer, marathon runner, Tough Mudder girl, mom of two, animal lover and the face behind Built by Hill.

I know what it’s like to be on the other side of a major lifestyle change. That’s exactly why I coach the way I do.

Me, before and after. Fitness turned out to be about so much more than the scale.

Where it started: losing more than 120 pounds

It all started with my own transformation: losing over 120 pounds and discovering that fitness is about so much more than the number on the scale.

Each mark on the ring is ten pounds.

Why I became a personal trainer

What started as a personal journey turned into a passion for helping others discover what they’re capable of.

I’ve been an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer since 2018, and I believe that fitness is NEVER one-size-fits-all.

Whether you’re just getting started, looking to build strength, training for your next big goal, or simply wanting to feel better in your own skin, my job is to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be.

Strength, running and real life

I don’t just coach this stuff. I live it.

Marathon runner

I train for big days myself, so I know what it takes to get ready for one.

Tough Mudder girl

Obstacle courses and all. The grit it takes is the same grit that gets you to the gym on a Tuesday.

Mom of two, animal lover

I know workouts have to fit around real life. I’ll build yours that way too.

How I coach

My coaching focuses on building sustainable habits, creating confidence, and finding a balance between fitness and actually enjoying your life. No cookie-cutter programs, no unrealistic expectations, and definitely no all-or-nothing mentality.

Built around you

Your program fits your goals, your experience, your schedule and the equipment you have. When something doesn’t feel right, we change it. When it gets too easy, we progress it.

Habits you can keep

No crash diets and no “start over on Monday.” We build habits that fit the life you actually want to live.

Accountability with grace

I’ll push you when you need it and give you grace when you need that instead. I coach from experience, not perfection, so a rough week is something we learn from, not something you get scolded for.

“She doesn’t coach from a place of perfection. She coaches from experience. She understands setbacks, busy schedules, lack of motivation, body-image struggles, and how hard it can be to keep showing up.”
Hailey T.

My goal for you

My goal? To help you become the strongest, most confident version of YOURSELF, both physically and mentally.

Welcome to Built by Hill! Strength. Confidence. Built From Within.
