Ember is a nurse practitioner in infectious disease, which means most of her workday happens in a chair.
She came to us at 31 because she was tired of not feeling like herself, and she ended up deadlifting 125 pounds, a number she never touched back when she was a college athlete. Her training has helped her improve her strength, mobility and energy levels beyond what she believed to be possible.

Meet Ember
“My name is Ember. I’m 31 years old. I’m a local from around here. I actually work as a nurse practitioner with infectious disease at one of the local hospitals.”
Why I Joined
“I heard a lot of good things, not only from my sister, but from other people that have gone to the facility. I just wanted a change. I’d become a little bit more sedentary with my job. I just didn’t feel energetic. I just didn’t feel good. So, I decided to make a change for the better and exercise more and go from there.”
My Results With No Limits Fitness
“The milestones that I’ve been happy to reach are I’ve increased my lean body mass, my muscle. I’ve increased or improved my flexibility which was a big issue even from when I was in high school. I’ve also for the deadlift I’ve gotten to 125 which was good because even back in my college days when I played I didn’t even hit that number back then.”
Checking In Every Six Weeks
“I like to do 6 weeks kind of like check-in process because you can kind of not only numbers but you can kind of see like this is how much more I’m lifting. This is how much more I’m able to achieve. So it’s just kind of monitoring and seeing like how far I’ve come from when I first started.”
What Exceeded My Expectations
“What’s exceeded my expectations since first joining is all the exercises and the plans that they’ve come up with for us to do. There’s never been one where it’s just been repeating or repetitive. That’s the thing that always got me when I was trying to do it on my own.
I really enjoyed the trainers as well. If there’s something that I want to work on or adjust, they’re always open to ideas or open to kind of supplementing what we do just to kind of fit what I need or what I want.”
Recommending No Limits Fitness
“If one of my friends came to me and asked me about coming to train at this facility, I would definitely recommend it. There’s somebody that keeps you accountable, somebody that sees you, somebody that can say, you know, encourage you, focus you. I think that’s why ultimately you should make the decision to come to No Limits Fitness.”
Where Ember Trains
Ember currently trains at our West Melbourne gym on Minton Road, a mile south of 192.
Notice what she didn’t say. She didn’t say the program was brutal, or that she found some secret nobody else knows about. She said somebody sees her…she’s more than just a number.
Ember trains where everyone knows her name.
