Today we’d like to introduce you to Abril Leal Coronel
Abril, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Anyone is capable of whatever their heart desires. Our bodies are capable of so much as long your mind is in the right place. I discovered that early on when beginning my fitness journey.
I grew up in a low income household, we weren’t well educated in nutrition and didn’t have the accessibility due to our circumstances. Growing up, there were a lot of fad diets and fitness myths applied to my younger siblings that I too started fearing of gaining weight.
I had terrible body dismporphia, my confidence was low, I felt sick all the time, my relationship with food and body weight were terrible.
Went through trial and error on how to fix this. It was difficult to be consistent and see any progress because I had no idea what I was doing. I’d following random workouts or diets I’d find online. It also didn’t help that I had extreme anxiety that it made it difficult even stepping foot in the gym.
One day I had enough, something in my exercises didn’t feel right. I was a broke college student struggling mentally and physically with my own body. I decided to hire a coach! It was the best investment I could have made. I learned a lot exercise wise, but it still didn’t cover everything. like my nutrition, and why I wasn’t getting results. I wanted MORE.
I was going to nursing school because I wanted to help people. While I was in college I was working at a hospital and noticed that a lot of the people that were there because of what they were putting in their bodies and what they were exposing themselves to. Not everyone but most. Something in me kept telling me to change careers. I took that leap of faith and pursued my career in the fitness industry. 5 years later I am a personal trainer, online/in person, pilates instructor, stretch specialist, natural pro body builder and and nutritionist. Through out these years Ive been able to help so many people. Not only changing their physics, but their mind how they feel about themselves. Its a whole domino effect, the better and more confident you are about yourself, you can apply that in your relationships, work, anything! You can do anything as long as you set your mind to it.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No. Changing careers is scary. Being your own boss in a new field is scary. That is why I am ALWAYS learning, always surrounding myself with higher up people in my industry and learning from them.
