Bodybuilding will always hold a special place in my heart....

 
Yesterday I felt like recording a video on my YouTube channel about what my experience has really done for me. People from the outside may or may not realize how it has affected me as a person, wife, worker etc....I spent 7 mins on the video just expressing myself. I never have done you tube before but watching it made me realize that it runs deep. It is a part of what drives me as a trainer...as a person and once you watch you will understand..it is a process...and will make you realize that you are such a stronger person than before.

Hope you enjoy!

New Site up and Running...

As you can see the website is up and running. I have had the pleasure of working with Webdesign by Brandon McCloskey who is very easy on the wallet but the work is so amazing. I also had graphics design by Creave Design for the banner.


So what now...well now I build more on the product. I have connected all the social media, blog, newsletter all together to make it work. I started my you tube channel and I plan to update at least once a week or every 2 weeks...still gotta work and do other things. I also plan on blogging for another fitness expert whom I love to get so much information from. It  will be a great experience for me.


The website is only the beginning....I look forward to the future and what it holds for not only me but the clients...


I appreciate support as always and look forward to helping you all in your success!

Welcome to Combat Conn Fitness!

Welcome to Combat Conn Fitness Blog!

I don't have a long drawn intro to my initial post. What I will say is that I appreciate your interest in this page/blog at all! The reality is that if you have a desire to do something great, I want to help you in any way I can. I like to appeal to the average person because I have been on both sides of the spectrums, physically and emotionally. I have experienced weight loss and journey to my first competition. What I will say is this......I am no expert and even when I gain more information I am still not an expert as I believe we all have more to learn each day! I will give my best efforts to provide you with what I know, share my experiences as accurately as possible, tell you the truth from start to finish whether I know it or not. I will do my research as needed and provide you with a safe program and nutrition plans to meet your goals. In the meantime, follow along with tips and YouTube for more information....I look forward to your support and helping you through your own journey!

Good Luck and Hope you stay along for the ride!
