Hey, I'm Heather Barritt but you can call me HB.
As former collegiate athlete, I've always loved movement, but I struggled to stay motivated & only knew extremes. That all-or-nothing approach left me in a constant cycle of starting over. Everything change after having kids because with such little time to myself, I was forced to find a more efficient, effective to exercise. I cracked the code & have been sharing this smarter-not-harder way ever since.

My Story
From elite athlete to eating disorder, my body has been pushed to its brink. It wasn't until I had my first child that I actually appreciated my body. My post-partum journey was no different than most and the reflection I saw in the mirror wasn't someone I recognized. Rather than resorting to my past extremes, I threw out the scale and trusted the process. I became my own client following the simple, sustainable program I created for my personal training clients as homework. I witness their incredible results and I wanted to experience that same success.
16 weeks later, those less than 20-minute workouts 4xs a week had created a more powerful body and mind than I'd ever had before. I felt bulletproof and so proud of what I'd accomplished but ever more excited about what I'd created! It's not that I doubted my program or even my expertise really (at that point I had been a certified personal trainer for over 7 years) because the social proof was undeniable but experiencing the transformation myself gave me so much more than just belief in my business but also it humbled me, helped me empathize better with my clients and I became even more passionate to help them succeed.
During this time, I was just training in-person clients locally and running 6-week group trainings as well. These short video workouts were simply homework for my group training clients. After the 6 weeks ended, they asked for more workouts, so I made more. Then they wanted to share with their friends, so I made a free website.
In 2012, with 24 workouts and one very novice website later, I launched my first workout program and my online business was born.
I'm forever grateful for that group of women whose request became the most incredible invitation to impact. They are truly the reason I have this business and have been able to help hundreds of women across the globe!
