Formerly obese personal trainer Kelly Coffey made waves – and lots of enemies – in 2014 with her piece titled “5 Things I Miss About Weighing More Than 300 Pounds.” Coffey explains her inspiration for writing “5 Things,” and outlines how fitness pros can be more effective – and beloved – in their work with obese clients.
Coffey has extensive expertise in speaking to other wellness professionals, though she most enjoys speaking to regular folks who struggle to get and stay healthy.
Coffey is comfortable speaking in front of audiences as with as few as five members, as a conference keynote, or football stadiums.
ACSM-certified personal trainer Kelly Coffey began dieting at age 5, and she was over 300 pounds by the time she was 18 years old. In her 20s, Coffey opted to have weight loss surgery. She lost 150+ pounds, and immediately started to gain it back, sailing back over 200 pounds. Demoralized and out of options, Coffey was forced to look at herself, her beliefs, and her behaviors in a whole new way. The principles Coffey has since lived by are the cornerstone of her work with women of all shapes and sizes all over the globe.
