What’s the best way to exercise for my body?
I am excited to have an in-depth conversation with Cassie Ramirez. Cassie is a skilled personal trainer who has been working in the field of movement and exercise for almost a decade. She not only helps people become pain-free and stronger, she also ignites a love of exercise for her clients.
Today, we are going to be talking about exercise and what the experience is like for Cassie, as a trainer, to help her clients develop an authentic, empowered relationship with exercise that is far removed from the pressures of diet culture. We will also talk about Cassie’s personal struggles and how she powerfully overcame her own body shame.

More About Cassie
Cassie's love for fitness intensified when she t ok a self-discovery trip to live in Australia. Living in the countryside and not knowing how to pass time, the gym is where she found her community. This solo trip worked wonders for her in creating her own stronger opinions and values without influences from home. Moving back home, she knew what field she wanted to pursue: FITNESS.
Since then she has been coaching CrossFit for 6 years. She has a focus of finding that fine balance between healthy lifestyle and treat yo’ self. She's keen on helping her clients develop a love for their body and the capabilities it has and can do, while teaching them functional movements to help them throughout their daily life. She specializes in rehab clients, but also just here to make fitness fun as she sees it often gets a bad rep for half the population.
