WHAT IS BYOB FITNESS?

In today's society especially with the influence of social media, many people want to look like someone other than themselves. The millions of waist trainers sold every year, billions of dollars spent annually on cosmetic surgery only confirms this statement.  Regina started her personal journey in fitness in 2007 as one of those women who wanted a bigger butt, smaller waistline, and perfect hair like we all see on print and in film. She fell in love with fitness through admiration of "perfect bodies" not realizing her body was already perfect.  Regina established the name BYOB Fitness due to the many women including herself who idolized the “perfect” body type.

 “Never Let Anyone Steal Your Joy” 

Darnita has always been considered “skinny” the majority of her life. Even after having 3 kids she still only managed to gain about 30-40lbs during pregnancy but right back where she started, a “skinny mini”. She would always say that she was just going to go have surgery because nothing fit right, she hated wearing shorts because her legs were so skinny and she was just over her physical appearance. At that time not realizing everyone is not suppose to look the same way despite what social media and tv was showing us. After much contemplation and being a nurse knowing all the risk she would be taking, she decided to just work for it. 

In 2019, Darnita started her fitness journey not knowing that it would potentially replace my love & passion for the nursing career. Overtime she saw her overall results with proper teaching, technique and her love for fitness stood out. As time went on she knew that her passion for fitness would help her help others in a different way than her current career as being a nurse. Darnita wrote down her goals and told herself that she wanted to be a trainer. Immediately she asked God was this right for her? She sat and listened for his reply.  Fast forward  she enrolled into a certified personal trainer program and here she is today!  As a certified personal trainer/group instructor, she is able to help others discover their inner abilities and love themselves for exactly who they are.  But it just doesn’t stop here, she is looking forward to further her education and status in the fitness world.
