NAME, AGE & HOMETOWN
Minakshi, Age 34
Denver, CO.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOU
I am a first time mom of a 19 month old and my husband and I moved to Denver in 2016 from India.
WHAT THINGS HAPPENED THAT LED YOU TO WORKING WITH ME?
2016 is when I started getting interested in fitness. But, post pregnancy, PPD, focusing so much on my son led to me not taking care of my own health and well being and that took a toll on my mental health and decided I needed to make a change. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to work with you is you’re a mom yourself who competed after you had your son and that really resonated with me.
WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS?
I do plan to compete in 2021 but something I did this year was run a half marathon, something I never thought I would do. I hate running and my stamina is terrible. I’ve been hitting PRs in the gym, lifting heavier and feeling so strong overall.
New mom, Minakshi has lost over 35 lbs, dropped 6 jeans sizes, and can now run 6 straight miles where she couldn’t even run 0.5 a mile before working with Julie in her online personal training program to complete a body transformation.
WHAT UNIQUE CHALLENGES HAVE YOU FACED IN YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY OR LIFE?
I think just tryin to balance new mom life and also having my “me time” and fitness became that for me. It’s been less about the weight loss but more about wanting to be a good mom while focusing on my physical and mental health.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT JULIE LOHRE’S ONLINE CONTEST PREP TRAINING PROGRAM?
I was looking for competition prep coaches and found you online and your own personal story with being a new mom and finding fitness resonated with me.
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO START WORKING TOGETHER?
It was just your personal story that resonated with me and talking to you just gave me that confidence that I could do this despite being a mom.
TELL US THE SPECIFICS OF YOUR WEIGHT LOSS TRANSFORMATION
I have lost over 35 lbs, lost too many inches to count, dropped 6 jeans sizes, lifting more than I have ever lifted, I can run 6 straight miles where I couldn’t even run 0.5 a mile before.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HARDEST PART OF THIS JOURNEY?
Food has always been my weakness and being too attached to the scale. So trusting the process while eating more food was hard because of all the myths in the fitness industry.
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE AN INCREDIBLE WEIGHT LOSS TRANSFORMATION? HOW HAS YOUR OUTLOOK ABOUT YOUR BODY AND YOUR LIFE CHANGED?
I am not at my goal weight but I feel so good physically and mentally that weight doesn’t seem as much of a goal as lifting heavier and getting stronger and gaining more muscle is.
WHAT SUPPLEMENTS DID YOU USE DURING THE PROCESS?
Whey protein, multivitamins, a greens superfood, fish oil and creatine.
WHAT IS THE BEST AND WORST PART ABOUT WORKING WITH JULIE LOHRE?
The best part was the accessibility, how ready you were to answer any questions and making my meal plans so easy to adhere to. I also loved the variety of workouts.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?
Nothing else other than I hope to work with you again when I can.
