Here's my story
As a woman over 40 myself, I KNOW the frustrations that come alongside getting rid of unwanted body fat and maintaining a healthy, toned, fit body. Twelve years ago, I was an overweight newly married wife who was struggling to get pregnant.
While feeling defeated and “eating my feelings,” my husband fell into a depression that gave him life-ending thoughts.
It was then I realized that if I did not take care of my health, I would not be able to take care of my ill husband. I decided my health had to become “non-negotiable” so that I was physically and mentally strong to have the energy to take care of him.
In 2013, while the health of my husband was improving, I opened my boutique weight loss and fitness studio called āR3VOLVELIFEā. Seven successful years later, on March 15, 2020 we permanently closed our brick-and-mortar and pivoted 100% online due to the uncertainty of the pandemic.
Although weight loss is what we are known for, my passion and purpose are to lead women to develop a deeper faith walk and a stronger mindset to combat negative self-talk, emotions and reactions.
Christ is the chairman of the company.
We remained steadfast in God’s plan and have been blessed to serve over 100 women across North America.
The story of how Fit Beyond 40 and R3 was born is one of surviving and thriving through TWO pandemics, Godās call, plan and purpose for a ministry to serve women but it all just happens to be through fitness.
It's the story of how our founder, Coach Crystal pivoted during the SARS pandemic and then most recently Covid pandemic. When SARS hit Toronto, Canada, it forced Crystal whose career was thriving in the musical theater industry to pivot from acting to pursuing her second love, fitness.
Acquiring her Personal Training Certification, Fitness Instructor Certification, Precision Nutrition Certification and becoming an Adler Trained Life Coach in 2005 - 2006, Crystal was a Fitness Manager for a big box gym for 5 years. But a dream to open her own weight loss and fitness boutique studio came to fruition in 2013.
Her beloved boutique was forced to shut down in March 2020 due to the worldwide lockdown. Through fervent prayer, Coach Crystal trusted God’s plan to pivot once again and she moved her brick and mortar business to 100% online.
