HEALTHY LIFESTYLE with Host Lori Anne Casdia with Guest Darlene Calabrese, Absolute Health & Fitness Owner of Absolute Health and Fitness, NASM CPT, Women's Exercise Specialist, STRONG by Zumba Instructor.
Fitness has always been a part of her life from a young age. Her mom worked out with her best friend in her basement and Darlene always enjoyed jumping in and making up her own workout for that day. She fell in love with teaching her workout to her best friend (her daughter) and from then she thought she'd like to do something in the fitness industry.
Throughout her life, fitness has taught her so much. First and foremost discipline. I had the discipline to consistently get something done on a daily basis and it became a habit. She had the determination to see change. As she got older and into college, fitness became a stress reliever and an outlet to get a little "me" time. Now as a wife and a mother of 3 it is her sense of well being and control. It gives her something to strive for. The energy it gives her allows her to go about her day with excitement and a sense of accomplishment. It keeps her body young and she wants to teach others how adopting health and fitness as a lifestyle can have them living up to the best of their abilities and even pass their expectations of fitness.
Like everyone, She's gone through struggles and heartaches. She has overcome the constant lack of energy, the family breakups, and the financial lows. All of our experiences make us who we are today. It's how we choose to use those experiences to form our futures.
Darlene is so grateful for what she has but ambitious to achieve the goals she set before her. This attitude along with God has given her the mentality that she can make it through anything.
Speaking to taking her personal training online she will continue to provide online home classes even after the quarantine is done. She wants to open a small intimate space for people to feel comfortable during their workout no matter their level of fitness and wants to provide a community of support and in a fun atmosphere.
