ELITE ATHLETE Kerri Hayes

I’m a simple girl with big goals and even bigger dreams. Born in India and raised in Europe, my family moved to America when I was a young teenager. My multi-cultural background and travels around the world have exposed me to a variety of cultures and ways of life. I was able to observe how they approached nutrition, fitness and well-being. For over 11 years, I have worked as a personal trainer, sports nutritionist, and lifestyle coach. I began competing in the summer of 2010 and went on to compete 4 more times before winning my IFBB Pro Card in 2012.

I have a competitive personality, so I started competing to prove myself I could. I went through many ups and downs over the years with my health, physical and emotional well-being. As the years go by, my passion for achieving exemplar physical and mental health grows, as does my desire to help others grows. I've read and experimented with many different styles of dieting and nutrition trends to find out what works best for me and those that I help. I came to understand that health is not a one blanket formula. We all have different nutritional needs and our bodies are all unique.

Some people think that nutrition and exercise is limited to the physical appearance, but it impacts so many other areas of our lives. Our health, happiness, confidence, work, and family life are all affected by what we eat and what we do. My goal is to help make a difference in as many lives as possible by setting a good example of living a healthy and well-balanced life. I want to teach others how to live a life free from crash dieting and weight loss pills. I plan to show them how to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reach their goals and live their dreams!
