BETWEEN THE REPS

Welcome to Between The Reps.

Creator

This space is where my mental health journey and my strength journey collide. Lifting has played a major part in how I cope, survive, process and rebuild. I am excited to share with you the truth regarding gym culture, the setbacks, the slow progress- physically and emotionally. If you're trying to find some sort of power in your body again, my blog is for you.

History

I have been in the gym as of October 2023, in the midst of battling an active alcohol addiction. I needed somewhere to put all of my grief, rage and energy and so I walked into the gym without a plan, needing to be somewhere that wasn't drinking between the walls of my home. Lifting heavy became a way to anchor myself. Some days I train hard, and some days I just show up. Every rep is a part of something bigger; healing, coping, and taking my power back.
