We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tee Colvin. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tee below.
Tee, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?
Becoming a mother at a young age, My body was forced to make changes before my body even had time to prepare for all the changes to come. Which caused me to battle back and forth with my weight and lost all confidence in myself. Lack of confidence lead me down a dark hole, and I found myself not being the women I knew was. I thought to myself How could that strong young mother who took the fight of the adult life head on and built her own path to walk on just give up? How could that young wife who values the work and strength that goes into being a military wife give up? How could a mother of 4 just give up? answer being She cant. She Builds continuously.
And SheBuilt was born. I spent time to study every part of my body as well as the women around me for years. And even gave birth to baby number 5 to increase my studies on body changes. I was able to build my fitness routine around my life and my schedules as well as build my confidence and ability to help others.
I built the life, family and body I wanted. And that’s how SheBuilt Fitness was Created!

Many trainers won’t tell you that your weight fluctuates throughout your journey and you should limit stepping on the scale in order to protect your mental. Being on a fitness journey is not all glorious, you will want to quit and there will be days depression will try to sneak up. But don’t give up, forget the trends and the lose weight fast gimmicks. If your mind is not in the right place your fitness journey will be hard but at shebuilt we will not let that happen.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Being authentically myself. I have a voice and hidden talents that together fuels my creativity. I am not here to be like anyone other than Tee the Trainer. Over the years SheBuilt Fitness has provided affordable personal training, that includes in- person and virtual session, meal planning, meal prep, nutritional help etc., while promoting the importance of natural weight loss. With Shebuilt Fitness’s specializing in building programs for each individual client to fit the clients every day schedule as well as including doctor orders from the clients licensed provider to the program. Tee the trainer was able to build and gain a major following and social media presence. Now shebuilt fitness has turned into a brand , offering fitness apparel, equipments, selfcare guidance and supplements etc, at SB Fit Boutique opened in late 2022 shopsbfit.com I am proud that SheBuilt does not only work for myself but also for others with busy schedules just like me. I am dedicate to provide real results in a real time frame with no gimmicks and without hurting my clients pockets.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
Dealing with my journey and knowing that Many of my triggers did not come from strangers it came from friends and family pushed me into hermit mode. I was always the one who had to buy size small to medium tops and size 16-22 bottoms. and constantly called fat girl as a nick name or accused of being on drugs when on the slimer side. I tried everything from all the detox trends and diets and spent money on any and every lose weight fast supplements I came across. I had to unlearn independence. Even as a trainer I have to remind myself I need help from others and criticism. Just as my clients come to me for guidance I have my mentors that keeps me going and guides me daily. When building a brand and being a mother and simply just living life gets a little to hectic I remember that I built shebuilt to inspire others and to fit into my busy life. To help me along my journey I created my gratitude journal that helped me remember I am grateful for each day no matter the task I am grateful for who I am. Building a positive mind and love for self makes the fitness journey much easier!
I published a 31 day guided gratitude journal with positive affirmations available on Amazon and ShopSBFit.com
