We recently connected with Brakia Moore and have shared our conversation below.

Brakia, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

I believe success is rooted in tenacity and consistency—committing to show up every day, putting in the effort, and persevering even when challenges arise or inspiration wanes. Years ago, I used to tell people my motivation for a better quality of life was the reason I was able to be consistent with success. However, when life hit i realized how much motivation may fluctuate, and even skill is insufficient without dedicated effort. I realized what truly matter is the ability to continue moving forward when no one is observing — the hard work behind the scenes, steadily enhancing your skills gradually over time. It’s the quiet determination, the consistent action, and the refusal to quit that truly leads to success.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I got into the fitness industry after going through my own personal transformation. I lost 100 pounds naturally—not with shortcuts or extreme methods, but by starting simple: walking at a local track, doing old-school Billy Blanks Tae Bo tapes, and dancing around my living room. That journey sparked something deep in me. I didn’t start with the goal of becoming a trainer, a nutrition coach, or a dance instructor—it all came from falling in love with movement, and realizing how much it was changing my life.

As people around me noticed the changes, they began asking for help on their own journeys. That’s really where it all started: from a place of personal growth and a desire to help others do the same. I created products, programs, and services that are directly inspired by my own weight loss journey—designed for the everyday woman who wants to feel better, move more, and believe in herself again.

At our company, we focus on helping women overcome self-esteem struggles, build confidence, and create sustainable, healthy habits. We do this by offering:

Affordable, non-restrictive fitness and nutrition programs

High-energy, welcoming classes designed to make fitness fun and help women fall in love with movement

Supportive training gear, including waist trainers, to enhance comfort and performance during workouts

Stylish, confidence-boosting activewear that helps women feel empowered every time they show up for themselves

What sets us apart is our authenticity. We’re not just trying to sell products—we’re building a community. I’ve been in the shoes of so many of our clients. I know what it feels like to struggle, to feel lost, and to want change but not know where to start. That’s why I personally connect with my clients, even taking time for video calls and real conversations. I want every woman who joins us to know: you’re not alone, and yes, this is possible.

What I’m most proud of is the impact we’ve had on real lives—watching women not only transform their bodies, but their confidence and mindset too. Fitness should be a lifestyle, not a punishment. And we’re here to make it fun, supportive, and empowering.

That’s why our slogan is simple but powerful: “Fall in love with fitness.” Because when you do, everything else starts to fall into place.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was that eliminating entire food groups—specifically carbs—was the key to health and weight loss. When I first started my fitness and nutrition journey, I jumped into the keto diet and cut carbs almost completely. While the weight came off quickly, it didn’t take long for me to notice other issues—my energy levels were low, I wasn’t feeling my best, and over time, it started affecting my overall health.

That experience forced me to take a step back and truly study nutrition, not just for weight loss, but for long-term wellness. I learned how important it is to have a balanced diet and to give your body the full range of nutrients it needs to function properly. I wasn’t getting enough vitamins, and my body was paying the price.

Now, I understand that carbs are not the enemy—they’re actually a necessary fuel source and play an important role in supporting a healthy, active lifestyle. That mindset shift completely changed how I approach food, not just for myself but for the clients I work with. It’s about nourishment, not restriction.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

One of the most defining moments of resilience in my journey happened after I had already lost 100 pounds. You’d think the hardest part was over—but it wasn’t. Before joining the military, I had transformed my body, but I hadn’t yet healed my mindset around food and self-image. I still struggled with obsessive habits like weighing myself multiple times a day and had a deep fear of gaining the weight back.

That fear became real when I entered Army basic training and gained 30 pounds in just 2.5 months. I went from 145 to 175 pounds, even though I was getting stronger. I asked my drill sergeant to bring a scale so I could monitor my weight, but it never came. The weight gain affected my performance—I could barely keep up on runs, and even though I passed my PT test, I often fell behind the rest of the company. It was embarrassing. I would hyperventilate trying to keep up, and the shame and frustration hit me hard.

When I got to my duty station, I wasn’t meeting the Army’s weight standards—a serious issue that could’ve ended my career. At the same time, I was quietly battling depression and an eating disorder. I hit a low point, but I made a choice: I wasn’t going to give up. I got a gym membership off base and committed to working out 2–3 times a day. There were days I was so mentally exhausted, I’d drive to the gym, sit in the corner and cry for 10 minutes, then leave. But I showed up. Every single day.

That experience taught me that resilience isn’t about being strong all the time—it’s about showing up, even when you’re broken, discouraged, or scared. That’s when real transformation happens—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
