FAQ

Meet Leslie

Hello! I am Leslie, a certified personal trainer, pre/postnatal corrective exercise specialist and founder of Empowered Fit + Wellness. I live in Denver, Colorado with my husband and son.

My deep connection to helping parents during and after pregnancy was born after my own journey to Motherhood. Having gone through pregnancy and postpartum myself, I got to see the lack of pregnancy-specific fitness classes, postpartum support, and education available: that’s when this passion was born.

As a Certified Prenatal & Postnatal Corrective Exercise Specialist, my goal is to help you experience the mental, emotional, and physical benefits exercise can provide for you. Over my own fitness journey, it has taken me several years to realize how important and enjoyable it is when you exercise to feel a certain way rather than to look a certain way. So, my hope is that through my fitness programs you can have a more enjoyable pregnancy and postpartum journey, feeling strong and empowered.

When I am not chasing after my little one, you can find me salsa dancing with my husband, watching Netflix, sipping the occasional glass of wine, exploring the mountains, and spending time with friends and family.
