What got you into fitness
I grew up playing sports and loved having a physical challenge to work toward. When that chapter ended, I found myself searching for a new outlet and that’s when I really fell in love with fitness. What started as a way to stay active quickly became something much deeper when I saw how much it helped me mentally. It became my way to push myself and clear my head.
What's Your Source of Inspiration
My dad lost 120 pounds and it completely changed our family. Not just physically, but in every way. I saw firsthand how a lifestyle change can impact everyone connected to it. I got a better dad, my mom got a better husband and his crew at the fire station got a stronger, more dependable captain. It’s served as a powerful reminder that showing up for yourself doesn’t just change your life, it dominoes out and makes everyone around you better too.

What Does 'Never Settle' Mean To You
To me, “Never Settle” means not getting too comfortable or staying stuck just because it’s familiar. It’s about continuing to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and knowing there’s always more in the tank, even when it’s hard. It doesn’t mean being perfect; it just means showing up on purpose, pushing yourself and not letting fear or doubt keep you playing small.
What's Your Biggest Achievement
I'm most proud of the community I've built. It's super common to be fit on the internet, but much more rare to have galvanized people around a common mission. I credit the Lexi J Wellness community with much of my personal success because without them, I'm just another girl posting workouts online. Gaining trust in the fitness space, especially those who’ve been burned before, is massive to me. They believe in me because I believe in them and that cycle is what makes this so special.
What Keeps You Going
Knowing that there are people out there that I’m capable of helping. When I work with someone and they change their life, I know it doesn’t just stop with them- their spouse gets a better partner, their kids get a better parent, their employees get a better boss, etc. I’d be doing so many people a disservice if I stopped showing up for myself because I know I’m capable of making a difference.
How Has 1st Phorm Changed Your Life
1st Phorm has completely changed my life. They’ve given me a standard to uphold- one that’s pushed me to grow not just as an athlete, but as a person, business owner and leader. More than that, they’ve given me a sense of belonging. I’ve felt like the black sheep before, but with this community, I’ve found my people. It’s so much bigger than fitness.

Not the “sexiest” supplement out there, but it makes a huge difference in heart health, cognitive function and inflammation. As someone that literally never eats fish, my doctor was floored at how good my Omega-3 levels were!

GAME CHANGER for the sweet tooth fix! I make protein ice cream with this every single night and it tastes amazing. How cool is it that you can make progress in your fitness goals and still eat ice cream every night?
