Behavior Change Specialist

I am Angie Masthay-Bermudez, originally from Colombia, but have lived in Austin, Texas for over 9 years with my 15 year old son, 14 year old step son, and husband.  ​I was an elementary teacher for over 17 years! I was very dedicated and passionate, and devoted my all to it, never finding time for my own health and wellbeing. I struggled with weight loss and low self-esteem throughout my entire life, trying different diets mainly, finding no time to exercise. ​ In April, 2021, I tried a strength training program through an online platform and immediately fell in love with weights and the way that type of exercise made me feel.  I started feeling more energized, stronger, healthier mentally and emotionally mainly, and decided to change careers. I became a certified personal trainer months later, and soon enough, I realized that nutrition played an essential part on anyone's fitness journey, then I became a nutrition coach. At this point and with so much information about nutrition out there, some truthful some not so much, I joined a program with the Harvard Medical School "Health and Wellness: Designing a Sustainable Nutrition Plan", in which I learned about the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and which completely changed my view on nutrition and overall health. I realized that to build a strong body you need to work on your mental and emotional health first and foremost. It's really all about a growth mindset. Currently, I am working on a Behavior Change and on a Women's Fitness specializations in order to learn more tools to be an even better coach and to be able to impact more lives. I'm also training for my second ever fitness competition this summer! Stronger together! Coach Angie
