MY WEBSITE HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!🚀🎬📸🎥🔥
Wow, where to even begin. It has been 2 years of nothing but growth since I stopped feeling sorry for myself after applying to hundreds of jobs and getting no call in return. Its been 1 year since I said you can do this, and got my first camera and put the responsibility of continuing to learn and grown in my own hands, not the hands of an employer who still didn’t give me a chance. •
Since I started my business, I’ve had dozens of business give me a chance, one after another after another. I can’t help but wonder why that is. You see, post graduation is depressing when you’re not one of those who have the ability of saying “oh I got a job right after graduation, I know what I’m doing.” Not a lot of people like to talk about he struggle, because they use social media as a highlight reel. I try to be as transparent as possible because theres always someone who says, I needed to hear that or be reminded of that. Thank you Johnna. You see the reality for many people I know is, knocking on door after door, applying to any and everything just for your resume to be another paper in a pile that never even gets seen. Working whatever job you can min wage with a college degree just to get by. To have SOMETHING. •
Life isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. And the journey to the top definitely isn’t easy but it is worth it. I would be lying if I said I don’t value myself 100x more because of the things I have learned and experienced on own, without a “real job” or boss. I’ve spent hours on youtube researching what equipment to buy, how to use it (and I am still to this day learning, I don’t think you ever really stop), how to do certain edits, how to invoice, how to be a scheduler, accountant, marketing specialist, you name it. Being an entrepreneur is wearing the hats of every role that falls under a company. Things the average person never even thinks of. •
People will look at this page and think wow she’s amazing. And that’s where I want to stop you in your train of thought. Because I am, you. I am just a person, with a talent and passion just like you. I just made the decision to follow what God placed on my heart...⬇️⬇️
My time being a full time videographer for the United States Army has officially come to a close. I cannot believe it, but, I quit my job. The job I truly loved so much, one that allowed me the opportunity to travel across the country to different Army bases to film content of the up and coming latest and greatest technology/gear for our soldiers for 2030 and beyond.

A job you don’t hear anyone gets to experience. A rare role I was blessed to step up to fulfill. My first big girl job. The job that took a chance on me after I graduated with my Masters from University of Maryland in 2017 and spent almost 2 years applying for a “real job” just to be denied over and over. The job that saw the work I did as a freelancer in those 2 years while being a substitute teacher and a waitress at Buffalo Wild Wings and took a chance on me. Over the past four years, I have made so many unforgettable memories, and some amazing new friends, I will hold this store in my heart forever.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to serve in a direct way being a civilian working on the mission for our military every single day at PEO Soldier with those in uniform, and those who were not. I am so honored to have had some of my work seen all across the world. I will truly miss this job and pray that I left my mark in a way that somewhere down the road they will reach out to contract my work and expertise when opportunities arise.

I am now stepping into the role of learning the family businesses and investing my time where I will be able to look back 1, 2, 3, 4 years down the road and have something to show for the legacy I want to leave behind for my own future family. While I loved my job so much and could see myself there for another decade honestly, I felt God telling me it was time to close that chapter in my life. Someone else owning your time truly does limit you from becoming all of what you are called to be. Especially when you start to feel too comfortable. But, it is a blessing when you use it as a stepping stone to walk through the next door God has for you. I have grown to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable….⬇️⬇️

PROUD OF ME!🙌🏽⚡️12lb up in 6 weeks…goal already surpassed 💪🏽
I told myself I wanted to gain 10 pounds by my birthday on 69 and in just six weeks, we already passed it. But honestly, what I’m most proud of isn’t even the number on the scale. It’s the consistency, discipline and commitment to keep showing up for myself even on the days I didn’t feel like it.
This journey continues to teach me that fitness is so much bigger than just working out. Success in the gym is built just as much outside of it too…through preparation, intentionality, nutrition, fuel and the small daily choices nobody sees. Showing up tired. Fueling your body properly. Planning instead of guessing. Pushing past limits you once thought were permanent.
I love that the gym has stopped feeling like a place I had to go and has really become a a place that is constantly changing me from the inside out. Not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually too. It’s become a place that reminds me daily how much growth exists on the other side of consistency and self discipline.
And truthfully, the hardest weight I had to lift was never physical. It was the weight of procrastination, inconsistency, excuses, self neglect, exhaustion and every mindset that convinced me I could continue pouring into everyone else while leaving myself empty.
I’m learning that discipline is spiritual too. Because every time you choose consistency over excuses, stewardship over neglect and growth over comfort, you’re honoring the life and body God trusted you with. A lot of people are praying for change while resisting the discipline that change requires. Sometimes God answers our prayers through consistency, obedience, routine and the decision to finally partner with the life we say we want!✨
Big thank you to the best trainer @coach_bsimms for helping me reconnect with fitness in a healthy, sustainable way after years of inconsistency. Having somebody who pushes, educates and genuinely cares about the process changes everything!
Most people are only a few consistent decisions away from becoming someone they’re proud of. Go lock in and start building🔐⚡️ @builtbys
Movement is medicine⚡️another day in the lab! Gains in week 6 of personal training coming in strong💪🏽8lbs up…so close to my goal. Feeling so strong! LOCKED IN🔐work for what you want over here!😤pain is just weakness leaving the body🤞🏽
Another week in the lab😮💨😤MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE⚡️Day 1 or one day…you decide 🗣️
ME vs ME season and I can’t lie… looking AND feeling better every day💪🏽stronger mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually… all of it. The growth really starts when you stop competing with everybody else and lock in with the person in the mirror.
And man… find you a best friend that really does LIFE with you. Not just somebody around for the highlights and celebrations but somebody that’s in the trenches with you too. Gym sessions, church, funerals, business meetings, random food runs (almost daily because of my Korean BBQ addiction😭🥲), content days, hard conversations, healing seasons, long nights, laughing until were crying, brainstorming dreams, praying through uncertainty, showing up for family, supporting each other’s purpose and helping carry the weight when life gets heavy…all of it! A person that genuinely admires your entire existence at your best AND your worst and still chooses to show up every single day!
That kind of love, loyalty and partnership is rare.
And if they’ll go to jail for you too??? Yeahhh you REALLY winning🔐🤣
@smallfry_03 I love doing life with you. The way you encourage me, support me, pray for me, pour into me, challenge me, celebrate me and SHOW UP for me never goes unnoticed. We really be outside handling every part of life together for real🤞🏽You make me better just by being in my life.
New day. New opportunity to get closer to the goals, the healing, the discipline and the life we’ve been praying for. Let’s get it 🤛🏽🤸🏽♂️💥
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE⚡️another week in the books‼️strongest I’ve felt in YEARS💪🏽😭🙏🏽🥲
It’s wild when you really think about it… our bodies are literal machines. If we’re blessed enough, we wake up on our own, we move on our own, we push, pull, stretch, lift, carry..without even having to ask. And the truth is, not everyone gets that. Not everyone wakes up with the ability to move freely. That alone is something to never take lightly!
So this week wasn’t just about showing up to work out… it was about honoring that.
Honoring the ability to move. Honoring the discipline to keep going. Honoring the starting point…wherever that is. Because it doesn’t matter if it’s day one or one day you finally decided…what matters is that you decided.
Taking care of yourself isn’t punishment. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about paying attention, showing appreciation and putting in the kind of effort that reflects what’s actually at stake. Our health really is our wealth..because without it, everything else we’re chasing, building, and working for becomes so much harder to even enjoy, let alone sustain. Without our health we truly have NOTHING!
THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO LOCK IN‼️🔐🤛🏽 @coach_bsimms is truly the🐐‼️⚡️
Your body carries you through everything in this life… the least we can do is meet it with that same level of care. Not just showing up and going through the motions but actually pushing yourself past what feels comfortable. That’s where the shift happens. That’s where strength is built, mentally and physically. That’s how you grow into a version of yourself that’s more disciplined, more resilient and more in control!
One week at a time. DAY ONE OR ONE DAY, YOU DECIDE🗣️
Side note get you a friend and get that sweat session in, I can not tell yall how proud I am of @lekaishername she has been KILLING it in the gym consistently, it’s hard to keep up with her some days!🔐
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE⚡️another day to be great! It’s always going to be @smallfry_03 commentary for me🤣I love that I have a best friend I literally do it ALLLLL with. LOCKED IN😤🔐this is your sign to LOCK IN‼️day one or one day, YOU DECIDE‼️💪🏽🏆
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE⚡️🔐another day in the lab with the greatest 🐐 @coach_bsimms y’all better get with the program and get with @builtbysimms before it’s too late!😮💨💪🏽new limits everyday…we working over here!😤💦hurts so good! #manassastrainer #woodbridgetraining #dmvtrainer #manassasva #woodbridgeva
One day…or Day 1. You decide! BUILT BY SIMMS!🗣️⚡️If you’re serious about your fitness journey, this is where it shifts. Located in Manassas and Woodbridge, @coach_bsimms isn’t just another trainer… he’s a coach who understands what it actually takes to transform your body and your mindset.
As a former D1 athlete @virginia.tech@univofmaryland I don’t hand out that level of respect lightly. What separates him isn’t just knowledge…it’s how he applies it. The intentionality behind every workout. The way he pushes you past mental limits, not just physical ones. The structure, the discipline, the consistency he demands… while still meeting you where you are and building you up the right way.
And the truth is… none of this is optional if you want to live well. Your health is your foundation. It impacts how you show up, how you think, how you move, how you love, how you lead. Without it, everything else you’re building starts to fall short. You can have goals, dreams, success… but if your body can’t sustain it, you won’t be able to fully experience any of it.
This isn’t about aesthetics… it’s about longevity, strength, clarity, and discipline that carries into every area of your life.
This isn’t random workouts or quick fixes. This is real training. Real accountability. Real results.
He studies movement. He understands performance. He corrects, adjusts, and elevates every rep so you’re not just working… you’re progressing with purpose.
If you’ve been playing with your fitness, this is your sign to stop!
When you know you’re built for bigger, don’t settle for anything less! Tap in with BUILT BY SIMMS!🗣️🔐 @builtbysimms
