Once you are engaged and start planning, it's common to start worrying about finding the perfect dress and fitting into it. Or sometimes you just need that extra incentive to start making healthier choices.
Recent bride (and The Events Company client) Aubrey Taylor was in those same shoes. Aubrey has launched Aubrey Taylor Health & Fitness and her Fit Fabulous Bride program. We sat down with Aubrey to find out more about how she started coaching local brides:

Health and fitness has always been a big part of my life. I was a gymnast for 14 years, was a coach for many years after that, and have always been a regular at the gym. For my wedding, I wanted to really get myself into the best shape possible. My fitness routine was a bit stale so investing in a personal trainer for the big day was a perfect solution. I not only received incredible fitness results – losing weight and body fat – but I gained an incredible mentor. Through my own training, my passion for fitness was re-sparked. It was during this time before my wedding (July-September 2014) that I became a Certified Personal Trainer. I was married shortly after in October 2014 and felt more confident and healthy than I have in my whole life. Since then, my passion and drive has become stronger with each day!
When planning your wedding, you choose the perfect vendors for your flowers, decor, dress, etc. You
want everything to look “perfect”. What about YOU?! Since I was just a bride and I know first-hand the stress that goes into looking fabulous on "your day" I thought this would be a perfect fit.
I believe that everyone is unique and that everyone has a different version of healthy. One bride’s vision of fit could look completely different than another bride’s. I think the most important part is to set a goal and a plan of action to reach that goal. I see so many brides put a plan into action – a fitness routine, diet, etc. and stay on the right track…right up until about 2 months before their wedding. Then the stress and anxiety kicks in and they fall off track. This can be so discouraging and really THAT is the time that you want to be working the hardest. Not only from a looks stand-point, but also as a stress-reliever. I think, if you have a trainer, you have someone keeping you accountable. A trainer will keep you on track, making sure you are where you need to be, and will almost FORCE you to take that time to yourself to sweat out some stress!
Also, staying positive is ALWAYS important. You can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy. Constantly feeding yourself negative thoughts will only bring you down. Keeping positive, upbeat thoughts and mantras in your mind (even if you don’t fully believe them just yet) will keep your motivation alive and keep a gorgeous smile on your face!
Aubrey, an ISSA certified personal trainer, creates customized Bridal Plans which include a free consultation (goals, strength assessment, body fat/measurements, etc.), fitness training, and health and nutrition coaching. She also offers Bridal Boot camp sessions on Wednesday nights.
Aubrey trains at Towne Center Fitness in Fayetteville which includes two private studios and a small private gym. Prices vary by frequency and addition of bridal boot camp or other available options. In general, the closer the wedding, the more frequent the sessions.
