Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha Marc.
Natasha, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I am an Actress (@natashamarc) and fitness guru. I started my journey about two years ago. I entered my first fitness competition last year where I took first place🏋🏽♀️ Getting into the gym had become my therapy after losing one of my best friends ♾ (Leah Labelle) in a fatal car accident. But before I got healthy and put on some gains, I was severely depressed. ✍🏽I have some of the best people in the world that I’m blessed to call my friends and family that I am so grateful for. 🙌🏾 I have vision boards and pride myself on uplifting others and being there for people but little did most people know, I was fighting to dig myself out of a dark hole. I had lost focus on how fitness was making me feel and started focusing on how it was making me look. Trying to look like someone else instead of being grateful for my own body blessings when I’m sure I’m someone else’s goals. 👀 The expectations we put on ourselves sometimes become so twisted from all of these photoshopped pictures and Insta models. 💄
Now look I’m not saying to not have goals, Lord knows I have a folder saved with nothing but beautiful inspirations but there’s a difference in being inspired to better yourself and putting yourself down from comparisons. It’s about looking at your inspirations with a healthy mindset and saying you can look just as great being you!✨ I am so proud of how far I’ve come and I love the way I look for me! As a Professional Actress I know I have a responsibility to display and encourage females who look up to me… so during this Quarantine acting work had come to a stall and I knew I was going to have a lot of downtime with a surgery I had scheduled for the top of June, it was the perfect time to dive in and start working on my fitness apparel line “Beauty Marc Fitness” leaving your on Marc on the fitness that you see Beauty in for you and only you! coming soon! @beautymarcfitness follow my journey!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I would say being healthy can get expensive because you have to eat the best quality of everything. Also, just the discipline of it all is a huge factor. Especially with my schedule as an actor and being on set for 10-15 hours trying to refrain from going to the snack table every break and somehow still getting a workout in. It’s a full-time job along with all of your other full-time jobs.
Please tell us about Beauty Marc Fitness.
My company will supply two piece fitness set, Leggings, Shorts, resistance bands and core sliders. Resistance bands are my most favorite tools to use during my workouts. and since the pandemic, we all have been forced to work out in our homes and stay fit and healthy the best way we know-how. I wanted to help with that journey and provide services to people that will make it a little easier. I know the gyms are opening back up soon but not everyone like myself will be comfortable with returning so quickly with a number of cases still on the rise. and why not look cute while doing so!? I will also be releasing fitness workout tutorials and maybe start a zoom class with those who are all in favor and need a virtual workout buddy. My prices will be affordable and won’t break your pockets. We are all in this together!
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Hmmmm? Nothing. I believe everything happens the way its suppose to happen, to give us the most valuable lessons and gained wisdom in life.
