Gina’s Story:

“Last week I went to Kansas City to do my photo shoot with Diana after completing a 16 week fitness model program… and when she asked me to write about my transformation, my mind went completely blank.  Yesterday when I was at the store, I ran across a sign with a Walt Disney quote that read “If you can dream it, then you can do it.”  And that’s when I realized I knew exactly what I wanted to write about.

When I decided to start my Hitch Fit program, I was living a pretty fun social life that included going out – frequently – and making extremely poor food and drink choices with friends.  I had moved down into the city of St. Louis from the suburbs about a year beforehand, and I really enjoyed living close to so many friends and discovering so many restaurants and wine bars that the city had to offer.  However, during the course of that time, I also changed gyms and was not fully comfortable in my new gym, so I hardly went.  The combination of bad food, bad drinks, and bad workout adherence really showed up on my body after that year had gone by.  I would look in the mirror and be mortified with myself that I’d allowed myself to undo all of the hard work I’d spent years doing in the gym.  I would have to buy bigger scrub pants for work and want to cry because I couldn’t wear my X-Small anymore.  I finally decided I needed to change my life to be fully happy again.  I had watched two of my cousins, Misty Fessman and Steve Ragusa, complete Hitch Fit transformations of their own, and decided to start looking into it more.  At first, the idea of such a full commitment scared me off.  But eventually, 4 or 5 months after buying the program, having surgery, recovering, and finally deciding I was ready… I jumped in without looking back.

Was it hard?  Absolutely.  I pursued my transformation in the middle of working as an RN, completing graduate school to become a nurse practitioner, being at the hospital an average of 50-60 hours per week, studying, and job hunting.  The last 6 months of my life have been the busiest of my life, and of course that’s when I decided to start this program!  But I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.  Because it really is true…  If you can dream it, you can do it.  I found a new gym so that I wouldn’t have any excuses not to go workout.   I would write out monthly calendars on dry erase boards that included my work schedule, my lifting days, which days I was adding cardio sessions, and what type of diet that day included… and I made myself accountable to that calendar.

Was it worth it? More than I can ever explain.  Diana’s coaching is about so much more than just work outs and diet. She has this positive, honest coaching style that helps you to create a better attitude for yourself and a much greater mentality.  Her values start to rub off on you and you find yourself loving life more, loving the people in it a little bit better, and knowing you’re strong enough to conquer whatever comes your way.  I’m not the same person I was when I started this program; I’m a better version of myself.  Some people struggle with the idea of you changing so much and fade out of your life, but I found a few friends that provided me with an amazing support system and made this transformation so much easier for me.  They have become family to me, and I know they will play an important role in my future as well.  Its friendship based off of trust, respect, support, and encouragement.

I am not done transforming my life.  My fitness journey has just started.  I am hoping to complete another program with Diana next year and have even contemplated getting on the WBFF stage next summer.  But because of Diana and Hitch Fit, I walk around with my head up, my shoulders back, and a certain amount of confidence and pride that was lacking from my life 6 months ago.   And I’m finally back to wearing those X-Small scrubs! ”
