Today we’d like to introduce you to Terri West.
Hi Terri, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Teased and bullied as a child for being “fat,” I used the negativity I received from others to fuel my purpose, which is to help others overcome body image challenges.
Having worked in the media for more than a decade, Terri is a published fitness writer and a former producer for ABC Radio Networks/ABC News. Her articles on fitness as well as guest speaking events are highly respected amongst her peers in and around Southern California. Terri has also been featured in television commercials that featured her “Success Story” clients.
Terri believes that healthy causes yield lifelong effects!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I had to learn to embrace myself as is…to look in the mirror and like what I saw and what I saw would ultimately change. People tend to hate on themselves and their looks instead of using visualization to achieve their fitness goals. I instill in others the importance of loving yourself just the way you are, first, and then focus on goals.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Terri is an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Yoga Instructor, and Nutrition Specialist in Los Angeles with several years of experience developing results-oriented workout and nutrition programs. A Sports & Wellness Adjunct Faculty member at Mount Saint Mary’s University, she is constantly broadening her knowledge of the ever-changing world of fitness through continued education programs, as well as real-world application. Terri is a true fitness enthusiast who walks the walk, in addition to talking the talk!
Terri combines old-school techniques and innovative methodology to create an extremely well-balanced training philosophy. Her approach incorporates periodized training, resistance, plyometrics and cardiovascular activity to ensure that her clients reach their goals. Her commitment to her clients’ fitness and life ambitions make training with Terri a fun, safe and refreshing experience.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
For me, quieting my mind through meditation sets the tone for daily life. This way, I am clear on the needs of others.
