Trainer Ninnapha Khamphoumy

I am grateful to have found my calling. Thank you for encouraging me to take control of my life and become a trainer.

Let the haters say training doesn’t pay well, isn’t a stable job, or trainers just care about selling you training.

My motivation comes from being unhappy with what I saw in the mirror, being told how I should live my life, seeing my grandma live in a wheelchair and bed all while losing her ability to walk, and just wanting more for myself.

I am living this with you. I train with you, I fight fears and doubts with you because I want you to believe in yourself the way I wished I believed in myself when I first started.

It’s about helping you smile at every part of your life: your body, abilities, relationships, work, and believing you can have anything you give your all to.

📌 I applaud all you cute females who look composed and pretty when you lift 😭

Coach: (she’s back and she’s hungry)
Forever wearing emperor editions. My absolute favorite powerlifting shoes 👊🏽

📌 “I’m scared”

First time doing a single arm row with 65 lbs 💪🏽 I was being a chicken and reminded myself you didn’t work hard all this time to be scared, stop giving 100% or say you will fail when you haven’t even tried yet.

📌 I have good and not so good training days. Facts.

It’s not about being perfect or smashing heavy numbers, it should be about refining your skills, prioritizing your weaknesses and training the voice inside your head.

📌 Don’t forget to prioritize having fun in your training 🤸🏻‍♀️

💁🏻‍♀️ Pro Tip:
1) Don’t be in a hurry to increase weight. Assess your form and technique first and see what you could have done better.
2) Know your starting point. Nail it. Perfect it. How you start will determine how you finish.
3) ATTITUDE. How you approach your lift and what you say to yourself in that moment is VITAL. Train yourself to cut out the doubt and second guessing 🙅🏻‍♀️

📌 Being patient and enjoying the process 🤸🏻‍♀️

💁🏻‍♀️ Pro-Tip:
1) The weight is too heavy if you can’t focus on your form and technique. So ✋ overloading your working sets and start listening to what your body is telling you.
2) If your working weight feels “light,” focus on creating control in the eccentric and making the bar move quicker OVER adding more weight 😒
3) Nail your starting position. Feet or grip position off = movement off. Fix your 💩

Coach:

📌 What fitness goal are you currently focusing on?

Mine will forever be increasing my 1 rep max 💗

I rarely do cardio because there’s none in powerlifting 😂

📌 Who else gets sore GLUTES from benching?!? No joke! 😆
