"When women start to show up fully in their lives by taking control of their health and their mindset amazing change will happen. I am here to be your guide. "- Kelly
What Is Behind The Idea Of "Me First"?
"Me First" is not selfish.
It does not mean I think ONLY of myself.
However, so many times I see women who spend so much time only thinking of others that they have fully lost how to trust themselves or give themselves permission to go after their goals.
Me First is about being a priority in your own life.
It's the most important thing.
Me First Manifesto
Before there were others to divide my attention there was me, first
I am the most important person in my life.
It is important that I take care of my body and my mind so I can feel my best.
I take care of myself, for myself, and not only to be better for others.
I make myself a priority in my days even when I am also taking care of others.
I say “yes” to things that fill me up and give me energy.
I protect myself above all from the demands placed on my time and energy.
I focus more on what I can do right now and take steps towards my goals vs. waste energy on all the obstacles that could come up.
I am in control of how I choose to show up in the world
I put myself first.
Coaching Testimonials
"I am a better me… I like myself more!"
"I wanted a physical change. What I didn’t realize is how much I also needed a mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation.
I felt guilty. All the time. About everything. Guilty for my list of to do’s that weren’t getting done. Guilty for losing my patience with the ones I love the most. Guilty for not eating and exercising right. I know what to do...why am I not doing it, how did I get here, and why do I feel stuck?
Within that first meeting with Kelly, she listened to me. I needed to be heard. She quickly became a trusted friend with a lot of knowledge, training, experience, and skill to help me realize some of the changes that needed to take place. She asked me questions that challenged me, and helped me with an action plan to get started.
I was scared. Scared to change. Scared to spend the money and time on myself when I have four little people in my world to take care of. Her encouragement to me in this area is priceless.
What I am learning through all of this is that when I take care of myself first I actually have more time, space, energy, and enthusiasm to spend time with the ones I love the most… I am a better me… I like myself more! I Started saying yes to new things and expanding my own identity past just wife, and mother... now, soccer coach, teacher aid, and Bible study leader! And yes my physical self is changing on the outside too and I am thrilled! But more importantly my inside is feeling whole. Something I didn’t even realize was missing until I re-connected with Kelly. "

"I was shocked at how simple it was..."
"In late winter I realized it was time for me to get healthy. For me, that meant being limber, to move faster with my five year-old, and to shed weight I had been hanging on to for decades. I started to search for someone to help me. Not a personal trainer, but a health coach. Someone that could understand how stuck my brain was, riddled with shame, unhealthy thoughts, and most of all, fear. After poking around online for a week I gave up. A few days later I was introduced to Kelly. She told me what she did and I said, “I need you.” I have a strong gut intuition, and something felt right about Kelly. We met two days later.
Prior to working with Kelly, I had created a story that prevented me from taking any action when it came to getting healthy. “I don’t even know where to start.” “I’m scared I’ll have to give up too much.” “It’s not going to work.” “What if I fail.”
But, I started meeting with Kelly on a weekly basis. She assured me I could shift my mindset and be successful. She educated me, challenged my thoughts, re-framed my thinking, and highlighted what I was capable of. She encouraged me to focus on my successes for the week, debunking the myths I had created. I started to experience results right away. The first was increased energy. I made a few food modifications and no longer felt the dreaded “3pm slump.” I started moving more each day and felt confident.
In a month I was down a pants size. I was shocked at how simple it was to lose weight right away. When it came time to plant my vegetable garden, I was more limber and didn’t get tired from the up and down and moving all over the yard. I was stronger and happier than I had been in ages.
I am so grateful I found Kelly. She has come to be my “Health Therapist.” Working with her is perfect for someone who needs a shift in perspective, to be challenged mentally and physically, and who wants to lead a healthier, fulfilling life."

"THIS ISN’T A DIET!"
"May 2017, was a changing point for me. I’ve been overweight all of my life and in May I hit a number on the scale that scared me. That was it, I thought! The next day I texted Kelly Altman knowing that she has helped a number of people and through tears I explained to her that I couldn’t keep going on this path. I have spent too much of my life afraid of being noticed and I was no longer going to live like that. I have known Kelly since 2011 when I started with Altman Fitness. While I was a member, I loved the trainers and the other members, I would generously describe myself as a casual participant. I went through life thinking as long as I had a membership somewhere to workout I didn’t have to pay attention or be intentional with my fitness and nutrition. At our first meeting Kelly identified several small steps I could take to change how my body responds to the food I eat. THIS ISN’T A DIET. Kelly helps me think of food in a different way and really focus on how my body responds to it. The changes I make are ones I will continue for the rest of my life. She provides a judgement free but honest look at what is getting in my way and what changes I can make to meet my goals. With Kelly’s help I have learned to challenge myself and also to celebrate small successes. Change doesn’t come overnight, but Kelly helped me to focus on my goals and as I achieve them, she has helped me set new ones. I’ve lost 42 lbs as of now and I couldn’t be more proud to celebrate the wins, but I continue to work hard and move toward my goals.

"I have loved the ability to talk through my struggles and know that I have someone to not only keep me accountable but also troubleshoot ways to improve and get over the hump. With each "breakthrough" I've gained more confidence.
What I notice most is with the increase in my confidence, I am starting to get my voice back. it has allowed me to do more things that are important to me and create true balance in my life. I work out more, I eat better, I take more time for myself and I do it with less guilt than I used to.
The hardest part of change and "taking your life back" is sticking to it and believing you can do it. Kelly has helped me believe in myself again and that I deserve to be happy. THANK YOU!"

"I am a believer!
At my first coaching session with Kelly I trusted her advice regarding changing my diet which, I am not gonna lie, was just crazy to me. But not only is my energy been noticeably better, I haven’t’ had the mid day drag that I used to get after eating what I thought was a healthy meal! I used to feel so tired I could barely finish my work day. It’s amazing how I’ve noticed coworkers, one after the other about an hour after lunch each saying how tired they are and I don't feel that way anymore. I also noticed I am not hungry in between meals and the best part is...I lost two pounds in our first week!! Seeing and feeling the results of this direction of food choices encourages me that I can make this a lifestyle and not just a diet. Thanks to Kelly for the info, guidance, accountability, and support. I am so excited and it’s only been a week!"

"I am almost done with a 14 Day cleanse and it’s been awesome! I love the plan, love how I feel, and with coaching it’s been easy. I’ve dropped 5-6 lbs and I’m not even done yet. All the direction from Kelly has been a crucial element in my success. I’m so glad I did it!"
-Anne R
This has been absolutely worth it – both the money and the time. It’s an investment in myself and my well-being overall and you really can’t put a price on that. This isn’t a quick fix, it’s a life changer.
