I am back with another one of my amazing clients to showcase because I can do what I want and they deserve it.

Today’s client spotlight is Samantha Hogg-Kehler! Let’s go.

Thank you Samantha.

💗Tell us who you are ?

👉🏻Who am I?
Hey! I’m Samantha Kehler and I’ve been training under Deannas guidance since February 2016. I’m a mother to two crazy busy boys and wife to an equally crazy busy husband.
I’ve always been active, and of course the face of that changes once you have kids. When I met Deanna my goal was to put on mass. I had gone up and down in weight but never broke 115lbs and had even dipped down to 86lbs during stressful times! At 5’6 I wasn’t happy. All the while eating I’m getting the judgy little looks and questioning stares. I didn’t get why the heck this was happening, as much as some people figured they did know....
So I set some goals, and we set plans to meet them. It turned out I was more like the 2500-3000 calories a day girl! And yes this was actually hard to get used to and sometimes actually made me nervous! Mass isn’t a super widely used or popular word women are using!

Talk to us about your current Goals :

👉🏻 I’ve got lots of goals. All of which hold hand in general strength whilst enjoying the life around me. I love mini goals like pull ups, push ups, max reps type stuff. I also want to be strong on my dirt bike (even if I’m not amazing at it!) because it brings me joy to go out and ride with my kids and husband. It’s out of the box a little but for an entire family to do MX races and we love it.
But my long game? That’s longevity. I want to be that great great grandma that everyone can’t believe is still kicking it at life. I want to set that standard for my boys ♥️

💗Why did you hire a Coach?

👉🏻I work with Deanna because she doesn’t trap life in a box. She doesn’t have rigid rules and date expectations. We eat food. Like whatever is in my freaking cupboard. Just hit that stupid number and move on. Or don’t, learn from that and move on. Every day is a Monday. A new day. A new choice. And if I’m tired a take time off. There’s no date to come back. It’s when I’m rested. Whether it’s 2 days or 2 weeks. This is about life long goals. Not my summer bod that I forever beat myself up about, and she helps me to navigate through all the garbage slammed in our faces to create an insecurity into buying someone’s magic shake or cure all 8 week program at 1000 calories a day. We have worked together long enough to find what works for me. I find mass training in the winter is 10000 times easier than summer. Summer I want to be outside, and eat less. So we dial training back and continue on.

💗What has been a struggle you have overcome that can help others?

👉🏻 in June 2019 I destroyed my left arm. Broken radial head (popped right out of my skin!), Ulna and wrist. Major concussion (seizure), bruised liver and various cuts and bruises up my back and bicep. Deanna stepped into a friendship role beyond what was necessary. We talked about where I wanted to go from there. I was dealing with nightmares and host of other garbage.
With her encouragement, knowledge, patience, and my own dedication to come back to regular life, I was back on my bike in 59 days! And the gym in even less. I am super grateful to have someone to understand my goals. And to trust me not to flake. And to know I could completely count on her to call me one if needed! I need full disclosure and understanding and she gives it to me.

💗😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sam thank you for saying this. I absolutely love coaching you and watching you thrive and succeed at any goal you set out for yourself!

I am so grateful! 🙋🏻‍♀️
