MY STORY

I didn’t build BeFitDavis from a perfect routine or a life with unlimited time. I built it through pregnancies, postpartum seasons, long runs, heavy lifts, family schedules, setbacks, surgery, and the everyday chaos of raising five kids.

 

BeFitDavis began in 2015 as a place to document my own running and fitness journey. Over time, it grew into something bigger: a community of women who want to feel strong, capable, and athletic without pretending the rest of their lives do not exist.

 

Running was a major part of my foundation. I have completed nine marathons, including the 2018 Boston Marathon when my daughter was four months old. I ran throughout pregnancy, returned through postpartum, and learned firsthand that motherhood changes the way we train—but it does not have to erase the athlete we were before it.

 

My training eventually expanded beyond distance running into strength training, CrossFit, HYROX, DEKA, and competitive fitness. I have competed across endurance, strength, and hybrid events, including podium and top finishes at the Northern California Classic and DEKA competitions.

 

Each season has reinforced the same lesson: strength is not one look, one sport, or one finish time. It is the ability to keep showing up, adapt, and build from where you are.

 

My story also includes years of pelvic pain and a hysterectomy in 2022. That experience deepened my respect for women whose bodies, goals, and seasons change. I am not interested in telling women to “bounce back.” I want to help them move forward with training that is realistic, progressive, and strong.

 

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Exercise Science, but my approach is shaped just as much by lived experience: training while raising five children, returning after pregnancies and surgery, pursuing ambitious goals, and learning that consistency rarely looks perfect.

 

Today, BeFitDavis creates practical strength, running, and hybrid training resources for women—especially busy moms—who want their goals taken seriously. Whether you are beginning, returning, or ready for a new challenge, you are not starting from nothing. You are building from experience. Your life can be full, and your goals can still belong in it.​​
