TEAM TANTRUM

Bri Williams

Hello all! My name is Briana Williams. I am a 24-year-old, health professional that recently graduated from California State University, San Bernardino. I received my degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science. While earning my degree, I worked part-time as a food server and also volunteered many hours serving my community. In addition, I took on the position of Vice President of the Kinesiology Students Association. As a club, we traveled to Thailand, Korea, and Japan, visiting elite colleges and discussing the premises of their physical fitness programs. These opportunities have blessed me with the ability to reach out and help others fulfill a healthier, well-being. I continue to be inspired in all realms of life by amazing people who challenge themselves daily and are determined to reach new levels of success.

Over the last year, I developed a close relationship with the Operations Manager at LA Fitness. Her name is Jessica. Jessica interviewed me for a position at LA Fitness back in 2008 as a Front Desk worker. I received the job and was later promoted to Assistant Operations Manager. We would continuously talk of our work goals and fitness aspirations. Jessica introduced me to her trainer, David Ellis, after I saw the amazing results she was receiving from personal training. David is an incredible leader in the fitness industry, and has led many women to achieve success in bikini and figure competitions. Little did I know, I would be David’s next project and together, Jessica and I would go through the next four months training rigorously for our first bikini competition.

During those four months, I practiced patience daily, commitment, and accountability. It was my decision to take on such a great task, and I was determined to be the best I could be. I am pleased to say that I placed fourth in my competition. Moreover, the results of my figure and attitude had been transformed. The trainers at Anytime Fitness have become family to me, always extending a helping hand of love and support, as I continue to endure countless hours of cardio and weight training. They encourage my self-confidence and beauty, inside and out. I honestly believe that if you can commit time to taking care of yourself, physically, mentally, and emotionally, you will see how much your life will thrive and exceed to limits you never thought possible.
