Ever since I was a little kid, I have always walked with my feet pointing outwards and being a
competitive swimmer, training outside of the pool was just as important as being in it; I would
run, lunge, and squat with my feet turned out which almost always resulted in some kind of pain.
Pediatricians, orthopedists, PTs, coaches, all told me that my feet could never be fixed and
essentially gave up. Not Hayla. She would not rest until I was able to do a perfect squat. After
just twenty minutes of working with me, I was doing squats in perfect form with no pain. Doing
private lessons with her helped me not only build strength in my legs but also showed results in
the pool and at meets. With her training, I was able to compete at an elite level while also seeing
massive drops in time at rates that I had never seen. Her willingness, perseverance, and overall
care for each of her trainees is something I have never seen before, even after training with other
fitness programs that praised themselves as “the best of the best”. She inspired me to leave my
comfort zone and pushed me to limits I never thought I’d reach, all while creating a fun and
comforting environment. Don’t even give this decision a second thought because the longer you
wait, the longer it will take for you to see the change that you deserve. #ShieldMaiden
