Today we’d like to introduce you to Heather Godfrey.
Hi Heather, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
From a young age, I was always active, playing sports and living each day to its fullest. I grew up going with my mother to all other aerobics and fitness classes that she taught and I believe that instilled how powerful movement is & how much it impacts our lives positively.
In my 20’s, I began attending fitness classes and it changed the trajectory of my life. I would leave every class feeling so confident, centered, strong and energized. I knew that I wanted to always feel that & I wanted help other people to have that same experience as well.
I felt that this was God’s calling on my life and I hit the ground running. I would visualize myself leading classes, helping people & everyone experience that positive energy daily, regardless of what they were experiencing in other areas of their lives. One of my favorite quotes is “There is a voice that speaks and doesn’t use words. Listen.” That intuitive feeling and trust, led me to chase that vision & led me to so many beautiful experiences!
After completing my fitness certifications, one thing led to the next. I began teaching group classes, opened up a fitness clothing boutique, established a full service gym, signed on as a master trainer for Beachbody, partnered with a nutrition company, had the opportunity to be on the cover of a fitness dvd, be in an informercial and speak on stages. I completed several running + obstacle course races, triathlons, competed in fitness competitions ( I was able to place 2nd nationally in Las Vegas at my last competition) and continued to grow myself personally & professionally.
The birth of our son, Griffin (7 years old) brought an entirely new perspective when becoming a mother. I realized the challenges that many face in finding time to get to the gym. This realization inspired me to create my fitness app Commit[365] – this platform allows people to take “classes” with me from the comfort of their home or while traveling.
I continue to teach classes in person, which I absolutely love. But, having the ability to film + provide workouts & support within the Commit[365] app, was the next step for me to be able to live on out my passion at a greater impact, regardless of where someone lives, their schedule or their fitness level, while being able to show up as the best mama I can be for Griffin – which is the greatest blessing of my life!
I just turned 40 this year & I feel like I have lived so much life and experienced so much, but I also know that I am just getting started. I am beyond grateful for the incredible family, friends & community that have been the greatest support and encouragement to me throughout everything that I have done.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There have absolutely been many struggles, but that is part of it & not a negative thing!! I believe that every journey, personally & professionally will have struggles. Our perspective when we encounter them, is everything. Every challenge has taught me something – whether it is how to handle them better, show up better, be more persistent, finding the courage to shift – there is always something positive that comes from challenges. That is business, that is life! & that is what I think really shapes us and allows us to see things without judgement.
As you know, we’re big fans of Commit[365]. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
The philosophy behind Commit[365] is simple yet powerful: by committing to moving our bodies daily, even if just for a short time, all add up to compounded results. When we move our bodies intentionally and care for our health, we can show up to every other aspect of our lives better!
The app offers over 100+ follow-along workouts with me guiding you through the entire workout.
The categories include:
-Commit Full Body Strength
-Commit Lower Body Strength
-Commit Upper Body Strength
-Commit Core Strength
-Commit Restore
-Commit Express (all workouts are 15 minutes or less – this is by far the highest demand)
The app also offers access to 1,000’s of other workouts from other fitness professionals & resources to support individuals on their journey.
Features within the app include:
-Save workouts in your favorites folder
-Download workouts
-Stream to your television
-Direct messaging feature for additional suport
-Progress Tracking
-Scheduling to plan workouts in advance
I am excited to continue to expand the offerings that I provide within the app & feel so grateful to get to do this work!
