Caroline Collins work creates a true expression of the scientific art of mental and physical fitness. She promotes a lifestyle, not a trend. She is a Science Educator, 2x World Ranked Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt, an Entrepreneur, and a leader in fitness and health.

After being physically attacked and fearing for her life over 10 years ago, She realized she knew nothing about how to use her body to protect herself. She sought after a martial art and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu found her. After completing her Master’s in Science Education, she moved out to California from Massachusetts to train with the best BJJ competitor and world champion athlete, Cobrinha, and simultaneously start her career in her other passion: science education. Her aim was to teach people how to live healthier and happier in their bodies through conscious existence and natural nutrition and fitness.

After only two years of being a Science Educator, she was promoted to Science Department Chair in the Los Angeles School District. She also served as a Teaching Fellow for the National Science Foundation, being an example for teachers across the country in how to teach science. She lead students in critically thinking about the physiological (function) of the body in order to understand their wellness needs. Knowing the science supports the art of living our best.

Taking the risk to leave a successful career to pursue her deeper passion, she left my job to train as a full-time athlete and compete BJJ nationally and internationally. Simultaneously, she started her first business, a health food company to promote optimal nutrition for active people.

During the 7 years of living in Los Angeles, she started several businesses in the fitness and nutrition fields, including; a health food and catering company that contracted with Mike Tyson, a fitness/self-defense/wellness program that lead seminars in local school districts and in large corporations and also trained personal and group fitness classes and designed nutrition programs for clients.

Her current business, CC Fit & Wellness, is the culmination of her skills, knowledge, and applied experience from being a world ranked Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, a leader in science education, and a successful business creator in nutrition and fitness.

The clients she serves are guided to a better understanding of how their body works and its individual needs to function optimally. Her goal for all of her clients is to feel and look beautiful with confidence, strength, and technique.
