Coach Lexie
About Lexie
Certified Personal Trainer,
Online Fitness & Nutrition Certified,
Pre & Postnatal Coaching Certification
What's up everyone!!! My name is Lexie, I am CPT living in Vancouver Island, Canada and I am BEYOND excited to be on this team of amazing coaches!!!
You will usually find me in the gym lifting, boxing, out hiking with the dogs or living my best life on the couch with our cat - crazy furbaby mom over here lol. I'm also known for making a mean margarita! (Where my margarita lovers at?!)
My background in fitness goes back to about 8 years ago when I started working at an all womens kickboxing gym. This is when I first really fell in love with exercise. Over the years I dabbled in weight lifting as well but it wasn't until I joined DLDNation as a client that I really discovered my LOVE for lifting heavy ass weights, and began my own journey of healing my relationship with food and uncovering a type of self love I had never experienced before!
Going through my own personal transformation made me realize that THIS was my path and that I was meant to do for others, what my coach had done for me. I immediately registered for my CPT and enrolled in DLD-Online Fitness & Nutrition Coaching Specialization. I am excited to continue to grow and learn to provide the absolute best possible experience for my clients!
My true passion is to help other women recognize their strength, find a healthy balance with food that fits your lifestyle, while also allowing you to "have your cake and eat it too!". I'm here to help you change your life, change your relationship with food and learn to love yourself throughout every single season!
Let's freaking gooooo!
Coach Rachel
About Rachel
GGS Peri and Post Menopause Specialist, Dr. Stacy Sims Menopause 2.0
Hey Hey! I’m coach Rachel and I am so stoked to be coaching with this awesome team! I am super passionate about helping peri/post menopause women navigate the twists and turns of this phase of life with grace, education, and a little bit of humor!
A little about me!
I grew up in the sunshine state and now live in the blue skies of the Carolinas! I moved to the Carolinas in 2020 to be closer to my family (in case the world ended) and I’m so glad I did! Most weekends you’ll find me hanging out with the family…we love to play volleyball, ping pong, card games, board games and you’ll always find us eating a good home cooked meal! I have a 14 year old chihuahua/poodle mix who doesn’t pay rent but is the boss of my house. I love to travel and plan on having a van as a second home before too long so I can do more of it!
A little about why I do what I do!
My fitness journey started when my dad introduced me to the gym when I was 16! Little did I know the seeds that were being planted that would lead to my career in this industry!
I grew up in the 80’s and started my first diet when I was 15 years old. I used diet pills and laxatives to keep my body as small as possible. I thought the only way to be skinny was to restrict food, do cardio and then repeat! This led to a miserable relationship with food and a very unhealthy approach to fitness. This carried on for the better part of my 20’s and 30’s.
When I turned 38 my cycles started getting all wonky and by 40 I thought something was really really wrong with me. I was bloated, tired, moody, and couldn’t get control of my body. My conventional ways of losing weight literally felt like they stopped working overnight! Little did I know that I was entering into a new phase of life that no one warned me about!
Having experienced perimenopause and now being post menopause has led me to learn as much as I can about this phase of life. I want to help as many women as I can understand how to fuel their body properly and workout in a way that their body works for them, not against them!
If you are 40+ and struggling with trying to figure out why you’re body has seemingly changed overnight…I want you to know that all hope is not lost and you don’t have to accept that this is just the way it is!
I am so excited to help you learn how to make progress and feel your best through peri/post menopause!!

Hey there – I am coach Brandy!
A little about me:
I am a working mother of 3 (20, 14 & 7), an avid sports fan and down to do anything outdoors- hiking running, skiing, jumping out of airplanes – you name it- I will try it! I also have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever who thinks she is human and has my heart.
I grew up in a household where we just focused on survival. I did not learn anything meaningful about health or nutrition until after having my children. I spent most of my adult life trying to eat as little as possible and move more than humanly possible – I am here to tell you – there IS a better way! I went through my own fitness journey discovering my power through taking charge of my health & fitness. After experiencing a transformation of my mindset and my body and overall quality of life – I couldn’t wait to learn and be able to help women do the same.
My passion is helping women shift their mindset and work on their relationships with food- I want to help you start celebrating yourself rather than staying stuck in a cycle of blaming and shaming yourself constantly. If you are a mother or a women 40+ wanting to FINALLY learn how to thrive and not just chase being smaller – I am your gal. Strong and beautiful is my jam and I am here to help!
Coach Lauren
About Lauren
Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Postpartum Registered Nurse, Precision One Nutrition Level 1, Functional Nutrition & Metabolism Specialization, Certified Pre & Postnatal Coach, Health Mindset Coaching Certified
Hi, I’m Lauren, a health and fitness coach, mom of two, and former postpartum registered nurse.
After spending years supporting new moms in the hospital, I witnessed firsthand how little support women receive when it comes to their own physical and emotional well-being before, during and after pregnancy. Then I became a mom myself, and realized just how overwhelming it can be to care for yourself while caring for everyone else.
My own journey through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and finding strength again inspired me to combine my medical background with my passion for fitness and advanced training in health, fitness, and nutrition. I’m a Pre & Postnatal Certified Coach, Health Mindset Coach, and hold a Functional Nutrition & Metabolic Specialization as well as Precision One Nutrition Certification.
Today, I help women navigate motherhood with confidence, whether you're pregnant and wanting to stay strong and energized, newly postpartum and unsure where to begin, or a busy mom trying to feel like yourself again. My coaching is rooted in compassion, built on a foundation of science, and real-life experience. I believe in sustainable habits, progress over perfection, and helping women feel strong in every season of motherhood instead of overwhelmed. You don’t have to “bounce back”, you just need a plan that honors where you are and where you want to go.
I will help you feel empowered in your body through every season of motherhood, because when you feel strong, you show up stronger for everyone else.
Coach Massi
About Massi
ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Macro Nutrition Coach, Zumba Instructor
My name is Masiel but my community calls me Massi. I'm the proud daughter of immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic. Growing up as an Afro-Latina, I didn't see myself represented in the media as what health + success could look like and after going through a weight loss journey myself, I wanted to become the role model I wish I had.
In 2012, I was surviving a breakup and was deep into eating my feelings. A few months into my "new single life", I realized I didn't fit into any of my clothes anymore. After feeling embarrassed about what I'd done to my body, I signed up for the gym (like I had 735 times before). But this time was different because I discovered Zumba and fell in love.
I loved Zumba so much that I decided to become an instructor. My passion grew beyond the gym class walls and morphed when I became a personal trainer. Every week, women would approach me in class and ask me how I did it and how they could do it too.
Since then, I have taught Zumba classes, created outdoor bootcamps, and trained women at the gym and in their homes. But after years of training, I realized I needed to incorporate an education about the #1 thing that was missing: nutrition!
I'm a foodie so I decided to create my own cookbook with culturally friendly recipes. I taught clients how to eat: Mofongo (garlic flavored mashed plantains), Moro De Quinoa (rice and beans with coconut milk), and Abuela's Albondigas (my Grandmother's Meatballs), as well as the American staples like french toast, protein pancakes and Banana Bran muffins -- all with a healthy twist!
To tie it all together, in 2020, I completed a Macro Nutrition Coaching Certification and as a coach I have focused on the nutrition aspect of health and wellness.
My approach to wellness is holistic and revolves around three pillars:
- Mental health (which impacts your mindset)
- Nutrition (creating a sustainable calorie deficit via nutrition that is culturally informed)
-Fitness (learning to lose weight and keep it off)
Becoming a coach has helped me understand that we CAN have it all without giving up the core of who we are and I am so excited to be a part of the DLD team and can't wait to continue helping women change their lives!

Coach Ari
About Ari
NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Online Fitness & Nutrition Certification
Hey DLD fam!
I'm Arianna, you're so welcome to call me Ari!
I was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, and currently living in Austin, Texas. I have my Bachelor's degree in Statistical Science and a minor in Health and Physiology. I am certified through NASM and OFNC.
I grew up as a competitive swimmer, which gave me my love for movement. When I left swimming, I knew I wanted to continue being active. I started off with barre classes, then dabbled with HITT style training, and finally found myself in the weights section at the gym -- and I absolutely fell in love with lifting. There is nothing like the feeling of empowerment that comes from lifting some heavy a** weights.
Through my Health & Physiology minor in college, I also fell in love with the nutrition side of things. I love educating clients on all things nutrition!
I've been on the DLD team as a client, and now I am SO very excited to be your DLD coach! I love fitness, and I love people, so naturally, helping people achieve their fitness goals is my dream come true. I cannot wait to be your coach, hype you up, and give you all the education along the way, and help you crush your goals!
Coach Hannah
About Hannah
NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Functional Nutrition & Metabolism Specialization, Health Mindset Coaching Certified, Pre & Postnatal Coaching Certified
Hey I’m Hannah! I was born in Vermont, but raised in Northern Virginia and I currently live across the river from our Nations Capital.
Growing up, I played soccer nearly every season while also running 100m and 300m hurdles in High School. However, in my personal life I am the youngest of 2 brothers. This motivated me to not only be a supporter of women in sports, but to never be afraid to be one of “the boys.” This drove me to further grow my love for fitness through weightlifting when I was 15 and I never looked back!
Being in this field for 11 years, and achieving my NASM Personal Trainer Certification, has inspired me to help family and friends how to overcome their hurdles in the gym and find their inner badass.
After graduating James Madison University, I explored my degree of Hospitality. During this time, I gained new insight as to how much I enjoy human interaction and serving others. Seeking an outlet that combined both fitness and social passions, DLD combined the best of both worlds.
Beginning my journey with DLD, I started off as a client with Sean. I know the first hand experience of going into a new fitness world (and the anxiety that comes with it.) DLD is a camaraderie, support system, and above all else—family. I know every woman will discover the same self love and confidence with DLD. My goal is to guide you on this incredible life changing journey, push you past your comfort zone and celebrate every single win—both mentally and physically.
I am SO excited to begin working with you and having you see everything you are truly capable of. You deserve to feel confident in your body and live a life with the ultimate food freedom. I cannot wait to meet you and make your fitness goals a reality!
Coach Holly
About Holly
NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition Level 1, Online Fitness & Nutrition Certification, Health Mindset Coaching Certification, Advanced Hormone & Labs Course
Hey there DLDNation fam! My name is Holly Bieber & I’m SO incredibly proud to be a part of this wonderful community!
I was born & raised in Chicago, a true Midwesterner through & through, but the mountains called, so I’m currently living in Denver. I love all things outdoors, sippin’ good coffee, cookin’ up macro friendly meals (documenting it on the internet), & connecting with other humans!
My own transformative journey as well as the inspiration to dedicate my life to helping other people on fitness journeys of their own began right here with DLD…
After graduating college and losing the structure of organized sports, my health fell to the bottom of my priority list. Over time, I lost sight of who I was. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me. I felt sluggish, tired, & frankly, lost. I wanted to take control of my life. At first, I thought I just wanted to quietly shed a few pounds & be on my way. But what I discovered through the process of physically challenging myself was something so much richer. I found out that I am completely in control of my life. Through the support of DLDNation, I was able to heal my relationship with food, learn to love my body, & step completely out of my comfort zone in order to discover the most powerful version of myself. But unlocking that power within myself wasn’t enough. I felt compelled to pay it forward by helping other women fall in love with themselves & find their power as well!
My philosophy as a coach is to meet you where you’re at, to provide a realistic plan of action that aligns with your goals, & to help you practice self-compassion while challenging you to achieve more than you ever thought possible!
I’m so dang excited to give back to the community that changed everything for me! Let’s do this!
