About Fierce Fit Factory
A personal story from Valerie Dickson
July 2014, I was at the gym and passed out during a group fitness dance cardio class. The next day, I scheduled a doctor’s appointment, and my doctor ran various tests on my heart and then stated that I needed to be placed on blood pressure medication. For me, mentally, this was my breaking point. I knew that if I did not do something about my health, that I would have more issues in the future.
During the summer months, I became depressed in regards to my health. How did I even let my weight get so out of control? With a competitive figure skating and dance background and alethic past, it was very difficult for me to accept that I have let things get so out of hand. It was at this point that I admitted that I had a problem and I needed to receive medical assistance.
In September 2014, I befriended a colleague who had weight loss surgery. She recommended her surgeon to me. I made a consultation with my weight loss surgeon, and my surgery was scheduled for December.
After a couple years of recovering, I then received several cosmetic procedures to remove extra skin. After working several years in public education and having successful nutrition health and wellness units throughout various school districts, I decided that I would love to become a group fitness instructor.
After many years, my dream finally came true when I was offered a position at the YMCA Katy Main Street location to teach their children’s hip-hop program, and I eventually transitioned into a group fitness instructor position.
Fierce Fit Factory emerged after hearing the stories of members and various students throughout the years who shared inspirational stories of how me sharing my process inspired them to make changes in their own lives through fitness.
As a person who has struggled with weight, I have realized that it is a process. It will always be a process. If you think about a factory in order to build something there is always an outline in order to reach a completed product, and that you must fiercely be determined to achieve your goals in life.
My goal is to inspire and motivate others to have a healthy and balanced lifestyle which includes mental, spiritual, and physical wellness aspects in a supportive, positive, and welcoming community.
