Oh hey, I'm Becks!

I grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Western CT State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing in 2011. I spent several years working in the Intensive Care Unit in Hartford, CT before I took my first travel nursing assignment in Southern CA. Prior to moving to California, I decided it was time to make a change and focus on my own health and fitness. I bought the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan and made an Instagram account as a way for me to stay accountable for my own health.

After my move and settling into my new home, I joined a local gym, where the clients who trained there became like my family. Most of my new gym friends were also runners so I often joined in on their morning runs and training sessions. In February 2016 I ran my first marathon, which led me to running 3 more that year. After living in California for a few years, I continued to fall more in love with health and fitness so I decided it was time to study to become a personal trainer. In November 2017, I become certified through NASM as a personal trainer to help others reach their health and fitness goals.

In March 2018, I left my job as a nurse in the ICU to pursue personal training full time. It was a hard decision, but I was ready to leave the bedside and focus on helping others in a different way! I created this website as a space for people to find fitness and running tips, recipes, lifestyle posts, personal training services, and lots of dog photos! I’m SO excited to help others reach their health and fitness goals! If you would like to work with me online please contact me at [email protected].
