Hey I'm Rusty
and I'm the owner of Strong[Her] Fitness.
I know first hand the kind of struggle that comes along with asking for help. After years of fighting with my own eating disorders, obsessive dieting and body dysmorphia, I wanted to create a safe space where other people could ask questions, find help, and fall in love with becoming the strongest, most capable version of themselves.
With over 7+ years of coaching experience, we're confident in being able to design successful programs according to the individual needs of everyone we work with and we're passionate about helping others accomplish whatever their goals may be: weight loss, peace with their body, muscle gain, confidence in their exercise ability, strength, and freedom around food.
Sustainable
Continuous,
Permanent,
Empowering
Those are the results we believe in
I was not raised to be who I am now,
but here I am...
I got into fitness at 15 years old after I was shocked to realize I couldn't run 1 lap of my school track without feeling sick. I spent the following summer running. Everyday. A little further. Until I could run 5km. I joined my first gym at 16 and fell in love with the world of fitness.
I was not raised to be who I am now, but here I am. Growing up overweight, I had a terrible relationship with food, zero confidence, and I believed that anyone who could workout regularly, eat the veggies, drink the water and just be successful - must have been born with a different wiring than me. Yet here I am.
My journey through the world of fitness, (the good, the bad, and the dreadful), helped me become my truest, most confident, most capable self. It's where I fell in love with what my body could do and what my mind could overcome. It's where I learned that health is more than just aesthetics.
