Meet your Coach, Natalie Kimball

My fitness journey started when I was very young with VHS tapes and On-Demand workouts in middle school. As I entered high school, my relentless pursuit to “lose those final 5 pounds,” and my passion for fitness quickly turned into an unhealthy obsession. Whenever I looked in the mirror, or stepped on the scale, I was never satisfied. My drive to have the “perfect body” and self-worth was attached to the number on the scale. I let it determine how I felt about myself, and how I lived my life. This resulted in extreme restriction, an intense dedication to weightlifting, and hours of long-distance running. It all became too much to bear when I experienced my first heartbreak. I spiraled. I started binge eating. I felt ashamed, small, and out of control with my body and my life. Worst of all, I felt like I lost myself.
This unattainable quest for perfection lasted the duration of my teenage years. Pushing my body to such extremes, trying to manage intrusive societal pressures caused my body to manifest autoimmune issues. I began experiencing intense guilt and shame around my body. By attempting to achieve such unrealistic body standards, I made myself sick. As a result, I spent the majority of my early 20’s in doctor’s offices. I met a powerful truth when I began lifting with the big boys in the weight room. I’m talking about the “intimidating” big boys: the CrossFit athletes, Nationally recognized Bodybuilders, Navy Seals, Stage Performing gymnasts and Powerlifters. I learned we are all more alike than we think. We all desire love, self-acceptance, and to feel worthy. This realization led me to radical acceptance. Acceptance of who I am, what I believe in, and what my body looks like. From then on, I made it my mission to trailblaze a path for anyone who feels undeserving of greatness. From speaking at World Wide Conferences, such as IDEA WORLDS and Succeed, to being published in multiple magazines. I pour my heart and soul into guiding clients to their own sense of liberation in and out of the weight room. What I do is more than fitness guides, deadlifting hundreds of pounds, sporting a 6-pack, and twerking in a headstand. I live a life of complete freedom, and I feed my soul every day. I strive to walk alongside my clients on this same path and guide them to feel absolute, undeniable love for their bodies. Man or woman, in or out of the weight room. There is a place for you at Natalie Kimball Fitness. “There is greatness within all of us, we just have to believe it.” |
A MESSAGE FROM MY CLIENT
|
I do standup comedy and I recently got back up on stage in SD in gaslamp yesterday. Was my first time since performing in NYC a couple years ago. Back in NYC I always felt a little self-conscious on stage. I thought I looked chubby in my comedy videos. (Stage lighting does NOT help a lady out lol) But I performed my first set yesterday and all I’m doing is admiring my booty gains!I’m going to get myself into even better shape, but most importantly, I’ve been learning to love myself within and it’s made all the difference. Natalie is such an inspiration to me because of her way with words, positive mindset, confidence, and bubbly personality that can radiate a room! Words and kindness can affect people more than you know. Thank you Nat for always pushing me and teaching me how to create a positive spin on anything. |
