I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
I am a student of the gram. And I encourage all those who take my Instagram 101 course to also embrace the status of “student of the gram.” If you want to use any social media platform to grow and solidify your business or brand, it will behoove you to learn about it – to […]
We flew to Melbourne from Buenos Aires. And during the flight across the international dateline, a 14 day quarantine was put in place in Australia due to the rising awareness of the coronavirus. We were not informed about this until we were going through customs. It wasn’t the end of the world, however. We simply […]
You’ve likely seen or heard of the hierarchy of needs within fitness in some capacity. In my Built by Annie program my clients get access to something called Annie’s Secret Laboratory of Brain Gains. And in that lab, I have a video training on the two hierarchy of needs that I see and use in […]
Buenos Aires has been on my list since our first round of world travels. We debated staying here as one of our month-long South American locations, but at the time it was too expensive. I loved the idea of a European feeling city but in South America. A mixture of two cultures so you could […]

Jewelry will forever hold a sentimental part of my soul. Both of my grandmothers always had and wore a mixture of timeless and fun statement jewelry. When both of them passed, I got to choose a few pieces for myself. One of which was a favorite ring that I lost in the ocean in Puerto […]
Get ready for a fitness question/myth busting mash up. This episode is a compilation of fitness related questions I have received over the years or as of lately. While each of these could nearly be individual episodes, I kind of dig the mash up vibe. Like rapid fire fitness Q&A or debunking session. Before we […]
Almost all of my clients have tight hip flexors and lazy glutes. In the American workforce and daily life there is A LOT of sitting in a stationary position – which equals inactive glutes and tight hips. Even if you lead a “healthy” lifestyle and lift the weights, the time you spend seated far outweighs […]
Ankle mobility is a problem for A LOT of people. Most of my clients do not pass the ankle mobility assessment when starting out. You should be able to touch your knee to the wall while keeping your entire foot (heel) in the ground with your big toe 4.5 inches from the wall, one ankle […]
You can do a simple 30 minute hike all the way to a multi-day trek in Torres del Paine. Nate and I classify ourselves as moderate day hikers. We are NOT avid hikers. We are humans who don’t mind working hard for a great view, ideally within a five hour time period. Hopefully that sets […]
