About Me

My Story

Hello lovely! My name is Hanna Foster and I am a foodie, a fitness lover, obsessed with elephants, a proud Hufflepuff (if you don't get it - I can't help you), and I am so excited that you're here!

I have my BA in Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology from a small liberal arts college in Indiana. I also have my Precision Nutrition 1 certification and will be sitting for my CSCS certifaction in a few months! During the week I work for a corporate wellness, obesity management company and on the weekends I work at a local gym. My "free" time is mostly filled with cooking, laundry, and working out - however, I love to spend time outside, traveling the world and the United States, being at concerts or broadway shows, and spending time with family and friends.

All about hanna

My belief in you

I believe that we all can get where we want to be with a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of grit. This doesn't mean that I think that all you need is to work hard to get what you want. You need to have the perseverance to find the answers to why you're here. Did an old HS sports injury heal incorrectly? Do you have food intolerances? Are your hormones out of whack?

You need to not give up on yourself and find out the reasons that you're in a space you don't want to be in. Then you educate yourself and execute a plan to get you to where you want to be.

I am here to empower you. Give you the knowledge that you need, the tools to plan, and encouragement along the way. I'm not here to kiss your ass, I'm here to hold you accountable. To hold you accountable to yourself, your goals, and your values.

my fitness mission statement

Being healthy is choosing to be the kind of person that takes action --- I choose to stop saying tomorrow.

Being healthy is choosing to commit --- I choose to keep my promises to myself.

Being healthy is choosing to be uncomfortable --- I choose to push myself outside of my comfort zones.

Being healthy is choosing to love yourself --- I choose to spend time for myself. I choose to spend time on my physical and mental health each day.

Being healthy is choosing to fuel your body, mind and soul --- I choose to eat foods that are nutritious and delicious, to always keep learning, and to surround myself with a support system.

Being healthy is choosing to persevere --- I choose to not give up and to continue to challenge myself.

Being healthy is realizing that if there is no grit - there is no pearl.

Hello lovely!

I’m Hanna and I empower women with knowledge, help them change their mindsets around food and fitness, and give them the tools they need to get where they want to be.

Of course I’d rather you get a reusable mask - one you can wash everyday, maybe more than one so you can rotate.

But for the love of Mother Earth
P L E A S E
throw your disposable masks away. They can’t be recycled - so they have to make it into the trash otherwise they can harm your local ecosystem, get into waterways, or harm animal life.

Masks and gloves aren’t worse for the environment than cigarette butts or water bottles - but the alarming rate that PPE is being improperly discarded is exponentially increasing the amount of litter on Earth.

Words of wisdom from @careof - screen time before Words of wisdom from @careof - screen time before bed can disrupt your sleep quality. The light and content in your mindless scrolling can interrupt your body’s natural plans for sleep and can distract your mind from noticing natural sleep cues.

-pick up a book
-spend some time lightly moving your body such as yoga or stretching
-meditate
-journal
-spend sometime chatting with friends/family

Setting up a bedtime routine is one of the first things I speak with clients about if they say they’re always tired. Having a routine will start to cue to your body that it is time for bed, just like the cue of the sun going down each night naturally cues animals that it is time for sleep.

By drinking at least half your body weight in oz of water each day you’re helping your body function at its best! Proper hydration helps your body digest and process vitamins and minerals, helps keep your skin glowing and clear, and keeps your body feeling good when you move it!

The secret to losing fat and being healthier ⬇️ Eat a well balanced meal of foods you love, most of the time.

You heard me. The secret is not avoiding any certain kind of food, or only eating during certain times. It’s eating well balanced meals (fat, protein, fiber, and veggies) full of foods you love - not foods that are on a “good” list. And it’s eating these meals, most of the time - no need for perfection, or never having your nana’s potato salad or mom’s baked mac&cheese, just eat balanced for 80-90% of the time.

Diets suck because you’re either hungry, tired of eating the same thing, or feeling deprived.

The key to not feeling hungry, bored or deprived? Eat a well balanced meal of foods that you love - most of the time.

Let’s talk about how the media portrays self car Let’s talk about how the media portrays self care 👇🏼 If you eat perfectly healthy, exercise every day, take relaxing bubble baths every night and be sure to meditate every morning your life will magically be fixed.

Y E S - those things are a part of self care. And eating mostly healthy and exercising regularly, and spending time trying to still your mind are B I G parts of self care. But self care isn’t that simple, and it’s definitely not as glamorous as a bubble bath with a glass of wine every night.

S O M E T I M E S - self care is nitty gritty. It’s getting in the shower after 2 too many days without washing your hair. It’s making yourself clean up your kitchen or living room or work space because the last week has been so crazy you’ve left stuff every where and now it’s making you anxious. Self care is forcing yourself to go on a walk because you’ve been laying in bed all weekend.

Self Care/of taking care of your mental, physical, and emotional well being. And sometimes the things we need to do the most are mundane day to day tasks that we’ve put off.

Don’t let the media fool you into thinking that you’re not practicing self care the “right” way because you’re not taking bubble baths every night or spending time on your yoga mat every morning.

Because if you’re showing up for yourself somehow each day - you’re doing self care.
