Geeks Who Sweat

Welcome to Geeks Who Sweat! Are you a geek who sweats? Geeks unite to be fit... because geeks can be fit too! Hi, I'm Melanie... I created this page! Cheers!
I've been a geek my whole life... collector of comic books, action figures, My Little Pony, records, books and one of a kind geeky items! I was overweight for the majority of my life, and got made fun of a lot while growing up. In my 20's I decided to take control of my own health and fitness and started to exercise and eat right. In doing so I dropped around 35 pounds and changed not only my physical appearance, but my mentality as well! I got into cosplay for fun, because I finally felt comfortable enough in my own shoes to rock some spandex. I have since become a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. My battle isn't so easily won, though. I struggle with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which I was diagnosed with back in 2011. Ever since then I've been at battle with my body once more, but I refuse to let it win! I still teach multiple classes per week and help many people lose weight and get in better shape. I hope this page will inspire you to do so as well... and also be a little entertaining in the process! Be sure to click "get notifications" so that my posts show up in your feed and you are aware of when I do contests, offer free training/educational groups, and also have awesome sales on fitnessy stuffs!
Hey, y'all! Please visit me at Melanie Bolen Fitness as this page is inactive now. I had put in for FB to delete it months ago... but for some reason it's still here!
I promise you'll still get both fitness and geek over at my main FB page :-)

Your workout shouldn't be super easy. If you can finish and no part about it was hard, you aren't going to see drastic improvements. Challenge yourself... pick a challenging workout, look it in the eye, and say, "Bring it, sugah!"
When it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, what is your biggest setback?
Is it finding the time to exercise?
Is it knowing how to prepare tasty healthy food?
Is it portion sizes?
Is it not knowing what to do, workout wise?
Is it energy levels?
