FIT Food Junkies

My name is Emily Eckstein and I’m a certified group fitness instructor and personal trainer. Overcoming obstacles and improving one’s mindset has been my signature approach. Determined not to allow wearing a back brace for scoliosis deter me, I was soon able to hurdle over this challenge by excelling in track and field. I am a passionate, life-long fitness guru, and a USC alumna with a major in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. I focus on performance and train my clients to reach their breakthrough moments both physically and mentally. Let’s start on our health and fitness journey together!

I'm addicted to health. I love clean eating, but definitely live my life through moderation. Yes, I mostly always eat healthy, but if I really want something, I'm not going to deprive myself! Deprivation=binge eating=eating more or feeling depressed, which is not healthy for you both mentally and physically. I have a balanced set of mind and live life thinking nutritiously and mindfully, all while making choices through moderation!!

I’ve realized the power in the mind and overall mindset. The idea of mind over matter is seriously so impactful to my life. You can literally train your mind to overcome any obstacle, achieve anything, or even manipulate it to love something you might not want to face. My mind is my center for motivation. I train my mind to use exercise as my outlet and make myself love what I do because it soon becomes second nature. I used to hate cycling, and I trained my mind to absolutely love it. The mind is small yet so powerful. What you can do with it is limitless both in and outside of the gym. What defines your mindset for life?
