MEET CHELSEA, THE FOUNDER

HELLO! I’M CHELSEA, THE FOUNDER AND HEAD TRAINER AT DETROIT SWEAT, AND I’M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!

I GREW UP IN BAY CITY, MICHIGAN, AND I REALLY GIVE IT TO MY FAMILY FOR INTRODUCING SPORTS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, AND TO MY DAD FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THE “GYM” AT THE AGE OF 12. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN TERRIBLE AT RELAXING, AND ALWAYS WOULD PREFER MOVEMENT INSTEAD.

MY LITTLE GIRL DREAMS TURNED INTO REALITY WHEN I WENT ON TO PLAY D1 COLLEGIATE SOFTBALL, WHILE STUDYING BUSINESS & MARKETING, AT WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. AFTER GRADUATING IN 2010, I FOUND MYSELF CAUGHT IN THE DAY TO DAY OF A SALES CAREER WAKING UP IN AN UNSATISFIED RUT. FROM SELLING CABLE, CREDIT CARD PROCESSING, GYM MEMBERSHIPS, TRUCKING LEASING... YES, I LEASED SEMI-TRUCKS FOR 4 YEARS!

BEGINNING OF 2017— I DROPPED THE CORPORATE CAREERS, COMPANY CARS, BENEFITS, PAID VACATIONS, AND THE 9-5 “JOB”. NOW, AS A CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER AND ENTREPRENEUR, MY PASSION LIES IN HELPING PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THEY CAN BECOME THEIR BEST SELF BY FINDING CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES THROUGH HEALTH AND FITNESS.

IN 2020, IN THE BEGINNING OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, DETROIT SWEAT CAME TO LIFE, WITH A RATHER LARGE VISION IN MIND. THAT VISION IS NOW A STANDING 3,000 SQ FT. STUDIO WHERE PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER, BELONG, STAY FIT AND HEALTHY AS OF LATE JULY 2021.

MAYBE YOU CAN AGREE WITH ME NOW, THAT YOUR LIFE HAS A PURPOSE, AND I’M JUST HERE TO TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE SIDE THAT SAYS YOU.
