Every single person comes to Training For Warriors looking for some kind of transformation.  Each one of these people has their own unique backstory that shapes their thoughts and actions moving forward, but what most people don't realize is that the place you sit in RIGHT NOW is an opportunity waiting to happen.  It's an opportunity to decide that you want something different.  It's an opportunity to to commit to a course of action.  And then ultimately, it becomes a pretty awesome story about how you changed the thoughts in your mind, the strength of your body, and the power of your spirit.

Meet Erin M. When she first came to TFW, she was in a rough chapter in her life. No matter what she tried to do, her mind and body just couldn't see the beautiful and energetic person that was begging to be let out!  What you don't see in this amazing story is the work that was put in. You don't see the struggles and low points that Erin chose to crawl out of and conquer. You don't see the tenacity and focus that it took to (in her words) "literally change my life."
