THE PERSONAL TRAINING SPECIALIST TEAM

After transitioning out of the military, Bambi stepped into the civilian world and built a career in the fitness industry, eventually founding, operating, and successfully selling her own gym from the ground up. Through this experience, she gained a deep understanding of both the opportunities and challenges that come with building a life and career without the structure once provided by service.

 

Drawing from both her military background and entrepreneurial experience, Bambi founded Boots to Barbells – this nonprofit! She understands firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate life after service, going from having clear structure and direction to suddenly being responsible for every decision. While that freedom can be empowering, it can also feel overwhelming.

 

As an instructor and mentor within the Personal Training Pathway (PTP), Bambi is deeply passionate about helping others get in shape, build confidence, and create sustainable lifestyles through fitness. She actively trains clients in person using her preferred training methods and specializes in teaching flexible dieting and macro tracking in a way that is realistic, practical, and empowering. She also works closely with participants on how to become effective, confident coaches themselves, not just learning exercises, but understanding how to train real people, build relationships, and create lasting impact.

 

Her mentorship style is grounded, honest, and supportive, helping veterans reconnect with fitness, step into leadership again, and move from uncertainty to opportunity while building a strong community along the way.
