8/14 North Idaho Chapter Meeting 12:00-2:00pm (PST) In-Person

August 14th Chapter Meeting 

Title: Naturally Fit & Fabulous

Speaker: Jodi Smith

Description:

Three Things Attendees Can Expect to Learn:

1. The importance of strength training as we age.
2. An understanding of what calorie balance means in terms of managing weight.
3. The difference between motivation and discipline and how to develop discipline as it applies to self care and wellness since we are ALL great at taking care of others and not so good at taking care of us.

Speaker Bio: Jodi spent 22 years in the behavioral health field as co-owner of Family Support Services. She retired from this profession in 2021 and went into fitness sales, selling online fitness program memberships and then supplements before learning she was not so good at being an employee‚ as right or wrong, she always found herself suggesting ways systems could run more smoothly or be optimized. This was not always well received. Having been introduced to weight lifting at age 13, Jodi fell in love with resistance training and decided at that young age she wanted to one day be a body builder. She accomplished this dream nearly 4 decades later and even brought home a couple 1st place trophies. An entrepreneur at heart, in 2023 she talked her husband into opening a gym. In 2024 she also founded the Fit Forever online fitness program for ladies over 40 experiencing the natural life‚ changes affecting hormones and metabolism who had no desire to join a gym. The one thing that always makes her smile is when a client reports they can now do something they weren’t previously able to do as a result of taking care of their body. She’s also proud of her 30 year marriage and her 2 boys. Oh yeah, and she’s soon to be a first time grandmother.
