I was born and raised in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!

My fitness journey began in my younger years when I was diagnosed with severe asthma. Taking a cocktail of medication was not ideal for me; I wanted to cope with my diagnosis in the most holistic way possible. I began cardiovascular training and used food as my best medicine to strengthen my lungs and body. What I discovered was monumental - by implementing strategic workouts and nutrition tailored to my needs, I was able to wean myself off of medication.

​

Before this discovery, like many young teens, I struggled with body image. I did not appreciate my body and its capabilities. I was constantly at battle with my body and self image, I never looked in the mirror and unconditionally loved what I saw. 

​

When I put my health first, the body I not only desired but loved and appreciated came with. I was given a second opportunity to love myself and thrive from the inside out. I discovered the honest feeling of strength and power, and developed a passion to help others find sustainable results and strength. 

​

I became a certified personal trainer in 2018, shortly after I became a national bodybuilding competitor. I started Fit by Leslie in 2019, and launched my training business in New York City where I had the opportunity to learn from professionals at Equinox. Eventually, becoming a mentor at Equinox for personal trainers entering the field. 

​

Today, while I am no longer with Equinox, I am the founder and CEO of Fit by Leslie. We help people reach their fitness goals, gain body confidence, and make it sustainable utilizing our Fit by Leslie App and online coaching program.
