Gracie White

Hey y'all! I'm Gracie White and here I dive into the heart of my story thus far.

Road trips to the mountains & the coast, hikes along Richmond's Buttermilk Trail, bike rides around the neighborhood, or hitting baseballs in the backyard was the familiar day-to-day groove growing up. I come from an exceptionally active family of six. My dad cycled three times across the United States in the 80s, my mom is a long-time aerobics instructor, and my three siblings are committed to an active lifestyle as well.

My twin brother and I were three-season cross country & track runners at Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia. The six-year journey had its obstacles, but it gave me joy and purpose. Overcoming Lyme Disease as a high school athlete was the season of life that guided my love and wisdom for health & fitness. It fueled my craving for wellbeing, leading me to conquer the illness, carry on with the sport I loved, and build upon the lifestyle I had already unearthed & set for myself.

Passionate about the sport, the camaraderie, and the lessons to be learned, after graduating I became an assistant running coach at Collegiate. I was able to step back and observe the manner of the team & program from an alternate point of view. It was an opportunity to recognize that steering athletes towards being loyal teammates, strong examples, and good-hearted people is an all-important role as a successful coach. It's teaching athletes to celebrate strengths, navigate setbacks, and bounce back even stronger. It's about cheering them on for a lifetime.

Following a fun and fulfilling year of supporting athletes & former teammates, I relocated to South Carolina to pursue & master the art of personal training, an effort in the works.

I envision a team of people - a universal desire to step up and accept health as a priority & lifetime devotion. I believe that understanding the big picture of health (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) is key. Guiding others toward a self-identified motivation for growth is my hope and commitment.

Nothing beats a team of diligent, energetic, and determined people. Let's all move and feel gooood!
