Oakley and Shape Magazine Event in DFW

I kicked off my Memorial Day weekend this Friday in Fort Worth a the Shape Magazine and Oakley Women (OPS Fitness) event! The event took place the day before the Shape Diva Dash and was limited to only 200 women who had to apply for the special VIP event. The event lasted most of the day and my partner Carrie and I got to kick things off in the morning with a special Bombshell Bootcamp workout! For the rest of the day, everyone rotated stations and either took a yoga class from ambassador Lacy, took a nutritionÂ seminarÂ from ambassador & R.D. Marni or they could come ask Carrie and I questions during our Q&A session. Also, fellow ambassador and celebrity trainer Michelle LovittÂ &Â youtube guru and fitness expert Sarah DussaultÂ were there to answer fitness questions and give social media tips!Â We had a blast hanging out with the Oakley team and other ambassadors – but we also enjoyed meeting so many fit women from DFW!

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
