Success is more than just reaching a destination—it's about embracing the entire journey.
We often view success through the lens of achieving a specific goal, like mastering a pull-up. But success is a series of victories, both big and small, accumulated on the path to our goals. Each day you show up, each bit of progress, and every setback overcome is a success in its own right.
Picture yourself hanging on the bar, kicking and screaming, wondering if you'll ever get there. Through consistent effort, game-changing drills (check out our upcoming workshop for some awesome insights!), and unwavering determination, you achieve that first unassisted pull-up. It's not just about the pull-up; it's about the journey that got you there.
My personal journey includes moments that I once believed defined success. Making the cover of a magazine in 2021 was a significant accomplishment, but I've come to realize that genuine success aligns with our...
Hey there, if we haven't crossed paths before, I'm a Jersey native with a passion for Biological Chemistry. Life threw me a curveball back in 2010 when I faced an ACL injury during my gymnastics days. Despite the challenges, I bounced back and stumbled into the exciting realm of fitness competitions. Skipping ahead a bit, I proudly earned the title of Miss Fitness America in 2016, but the journey didn't stop there.
Leaving my stable job in cancer research, I opened a gym, faced the American Ninja Warrior course, and even tore my ACL a SECOND TIME.
But setbacks are just setups for comebacks, right?
I transformed my life, moved to NYC, and emerged as a top trainer, dedicated to helping women conquer the pull-up and overcome life's obstacles.
So, how did I go from a biochemist to an online pull-up coach? The pull-up became more than a physical achievement; it became a gateway to newfound confidence and possibilities in the lives of the incredible women I've had the privilege to...
Let's dive into something we've all experienced: that nagging feeling when we know what we SHOULD be doing, but we find ourselves hesitating. Procrastination is a SILENT DREAM KILLER, and trust me, I've been there. Whether it's conquering pull-ups or tackling life's challenges, it's time to stop waiting because, in the words of my favorite ninja mentors, "It might be too late."
Here's a little story that might resonate with you: Picture this – the Ninja Warrior course is set, the crowd is cheering, and there's a voice in your head saying, "I got this." But then, doubt creeps in, and suddenly you're FROZEN. Sound familiar? We've all been there – paralyzed by fear, uncertainty, or simply the overwhelming enormity of the task at hand.
But guess what? The clock is ticking, and it's time to break free from the chains of procrastination!
Here are three tips from yours truly to help you seize the moment and conquer whatever stands in your...
Being consistent doesn't mean striving for perfection. Consistency is about showing up, giving your best, and embracing the journey even when it gets tough. I've been there – tearing my ACL, facing setbacks – but those moments shaped my resilience and made my comebacks even more epic.
Here are three tips to help you embrace consistency over perfection:
1. Set Realistic Goals: Instead of aiming for perfection, set realistic and achievable goals. Break them down into smaller milestones, and celebrate every step forward.
2. Mindset Matters: Shift your mindset from an "all or nothing" approach to an "all in" mindset. Understand that progress is progress, no matter how small. Consistency builds strength, both physically and mentally.
3. Create a Routine: Establish a routine that fits your lifestyle. Consistency thrives on routine, making it easier to stay on track. Find a schedule that works for you and stick to it, adapting when needed but never giving...

In this blog, I want to address a common myth - the whole "it's all downhill after 30" nonsense. Seriously, who came up with that? I've been told my goals are unrealistic for my age, but I'm here to share that age is just a number, and it's all about the mindset you bring to it.
Here are some approaches I am taking to transform my body:
1. Prioritizing Sleep: Yes, my body has changed in my 30s, but it's all for the BETTER. I've learned to make sleep a non-negotiable priority. Quality rest fuels the warrior within, and it's a game-changer for overall well-being.
2. Always Warming Up: No more skipping warm-ups! It's a crucial part of my routine now. Taking those extra minutes to prepare my body has not only prevented injuries but has also significantly improved my performance. Age may bring changes, but a good warm-up is timeless.
3. Multiple Recovery Days: Embracing recovery days has been a game-changer. In my 30s, I've come to...
As we embark on a new journey this 2024, it's a perfect time to REFLECT, RESET, and RECHARGE. But first, let me say, can you believe how FAST this year flew by? It's been a whirlwind for me too, filled with challenges and triumphs that have shaped me into the person I am today.
Let's dive into some reflections, shall we?

Merry Christmas!
Let me take you back to a day filled with surprises, cheers from strangers, and a tie-breaking pull-up showdown that I never saw coming. Imagine the joy of unwrapping a gift and finding something more incredible than you ever expected. A wonderful gift may not be wrapped as you expect.
So, there I was, randomly showing up to a pull-up competition—no script, no plan, just the thrill of the unknown. A friend nudged me to give it a shot, and being the adventurous soul that I am, I thought, "Why not?" Little did I know, this experience would become a symbol of the power of support, encouragement, and pushing beyond our limits.
Pull-ups are my jam , and helping women conquer their first one is my mission. But that day, I decided to challenge myself. The result? A room full of strangers rallying behind me, urging me to conquer challenges I hadn't anticipated.
Fast forward, and guess what? I found myself in a tie with another INCREDIBLE...
Today, we're diving into the theme of LETTING GO as we step into the new year. But first, let me share a bit about my journey and why this topic resonates so deeply with me.
Reflecting on the past year, I've realized the power of letting go. The highs, the lows—it's all part of the journey. Just like in my ninja training, I've learned that holding onto negativity and doubts only weighs us down. So, I've developed a ritual that might seem a tad dramatic but carries immense significance for me—I write down what I want to let go of and set it ablaze.
1. Negative Thoughts: We all have them, but they don't define us. It's time to let go and make room for positivity.
2. Doubting Myself and My Abilities: The mind is a powerful tool. It's time to trust in our strength and capabilities.
3. Screen Time: In a world dominated by screens, I'm choosing to be more present. Limiting screen time allows us to...
Let's dive into something many of us can relate to: feeling overwhelmed by the countless workout programs and diets that promise the moon but end up causing burnout. I recently had an inspiring conversation with a fellow warrior from the Pull-Up Revolution program, and her story hit home for many of us.
She shared her experience of juggling multiple programs and diets, trying to keep up with the demands of a hectic job. Eventually, THE BURNOUT HIT, and fitness took a back seat. After a few years of putting everything else first, she decided it was TIME FOR A CHANGE.
Enter the Pull-Up Revolution program. What she loves about it? It's simple, it's doable, and it doesn't require a gym membership or fancy equipment. The structure remains consistent, making it easy to follow – whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey.
Here are a couple of nuggets of wisdom I shared with her as she embarks on...
