Becoming a Fit Strong Mama: Deanna's Transformation Story

Hey Sister!

I started Fit Strong Mama (FSM) on a whim in September 2017. I did it for me, if I am being honest. I wanted a way to workout at home, but have other mamas like me be able to do it as well. I started out with 10 brave and wonderful women. (Bless their hearts) They didn’t have a clue what they were getting into. Nor did I really know either! God has been good and He has put His hand in this to where now it is a business! We have grown to over 100 women in boot camp and my prayer is that we continue to build our tribe and help more women take back their health!

Deanna, our May Fit Strong Mama of the Month, is a dear FSM family member and I’m SO incredibly proud of the huge steps shes made on her journey! Today she is sharing her story and some amazing pictures of her transformation to happy, healthy, and overflowing mama!


December of 2017, I was looking for a change. I had been running for several years, but needed more. I saw some friends looking for the same on Facebook and Fit Strong Mama was recommended by several. Even though I lived in the same area and have now realized our circles are very similar, at the time I did not know Courtney.

I took the leap and tried bootcamp for January 2018. I started, just hoping to last a month, as all prior workout videos I’d done didn’t last that long. It didn’t take long to realize this was something I could do forever. Quickly my workout moto became #noexcuses. I never missed a workout in 2018.

Out of town, late at night, early in the morning, midday, whenever I could, I would fit bootcamp in. That is what is so amazing about Fit Strong Mama. You can do bootcamp whenever and where ever it works for YOU! Thanks to bootcamp and changing my eating habits, I’ve not felt this good in I can’t remember when. Taking that 30 minutes to work on me has made me a better wife, mom, person. I feel so much better physically and mentally than I can ever remember. If I can do it, you can too!


I am so proud of Deanna and so very thankful for you and just amazed at what God has done and continuing to do. Sister, this is not a sprint, this is a process. There is no quick fix, no magic pill. You have to put in the time and the effort if you want to make changes. It starts with a healthy gut, healthy food choices and exercise!

This is a life CHANGE, not a 30 day challenge.

If you are wanting to make that change, we would love to have you join this tribe of women getting their health back!!!
