I can truly say that my relationship with fitness and my body has changed significantly for the better since working with Deanna…
Through her methods of coaching and communication before we even worked out I was able to actually figure out what felt good.
Instead of trying to sweat, hit a certain loss of calories, or work out because of shame, I was finally working out to feel good.
As a fat woman with asthma, adhd, depression, anxiety, and chronic knee problems, I never thought I’d enjoy working out with anyone let alone working out with myself.
It was honestly the best fitness based training/ workouts/ experience of my life.
Toxic Fitness Culture convinces us that exercise & health require lots of complicated routines, strict discipline, & striving for perfection… OR ELSE!
But that’s just not true!
Movement can be easy, simple, fun, & accessible to your life.
Whether you’re brand new to exercise or grew up loving movement…
Then now is the perfect time to deviate from the
generic fitness path and start forging YOUR OWN.
[The most valuable aspect of the program is] the coaching.
The personal training is great, and I LOVE how you explain things.
The coaching is unique, applicable to SO MUCH MORE than movement & eating, and incredibly life changing.
The coaching has changed my life, extending beyond fitness. The personal training is accessible & meets you where you are. I cannot recommend Deanna enough.
What do you believe about health & fitness? What are your values?
When you know that, your fitness goals and motivations become part of your guiding light.
What feels good for you? How do you know?
By attuning to your built-in body wisdom, you can feel confident that you know what’s best for you.
What movement would fit best right now? How can you give yourself what you need?
With a variety of movement options in your toolbox, you’ll have the knowledge & skill to make choices for yourself and tailor it to your needs.
I love having some easy to pick up workouts to do. My body feels good while I am doing them and after I am done.
Within the workout, I can sense and feel your gentleness and encouragement to do what I want to do. And for me, it makes me realize that I like to move my body and I feel really good to be in a place when I can be out of judgment and into noticing.
Deanna is supportive. She understands “No” and she understands how to really celebrate a person. And talk about gentleness! She’s a super safe person to be a human with. She’s also just so cool.
My approach to fitness is weight- & body-neutral, Health At Every Size-aligned, and focused on you as the expert of yourself. I believe that when we build trust in our own body, we take back the power to find how fitness fits best, in every phase of our life.
Want to know how to like working out? Want to make exercise a habit?
Just DOING the exercises won’t get you there.
If it were that easy, everyone would already be doing it.
Intuitive Fitness Coaching is a 1:1 program that can help you:
Change your thoughts about fitness & health, worth, and responsibility and that WILL change how you engage with it. (cognitive triangle FTW)
Build trust, safety, awareness, and wisdom in your body, and you will be infinitely more likely to be able to discern what works for you. (We’re talking embodiment, babyyy!)
You have the authority and power to live life on your terms, with your values front and center, with intention! That means no more falling for scare tactics & trends claiming to solve every health problem under the sun, and instead focusing on the simple, safe, do-able things that you know work for you.
I originally began searching for trainers…but I knew just losing weight wouldn’t give me the sustained self-love I needed.
I had lost plenty of weight before and I remembered still frowning when I looked in the mirror.
Then I researched nutritionists, and not only could I not afford them, but I felt like that was not getting to the deeper root of this self-loathing feelings.
Finally, I found you! I saw your program as a chance to reflect on how I could appreciate myself at any size all while incorporating learning about my relationship with food and movement.
+It’s great for anyone who is new or returning to fitness…
But also for folks who exercise regularly, but feel like it’s just another chore, leaving you unfulfilled, or worse, like you’re only doing it to relieve guilt or fear.
+If you are used to marching to the beat of your own drummer…
Or if you’re ready to break out of the good girl/rule-follower mold and find what fits for you, even if it’s not what everyone else is doing.
+You’ve tackled Intuitive Eating, and you’re ready to expand that same approach to movement…
As well as anyone who knows fitness, food, and body image are all tied up together, and you don’t know where to start.
+Because a main cause of body image dissatisfaction comes from our patriarchal society, I work exclusively with women & non-binary folks.
My 10 Principles of Intuitive Movement were inspired by the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating, and work hand-in-hand with them.
So if you’ve tackled Intuitive Eating, and you’re ready to expand that same approach to movement…
Or if you know fitness, food, and body image are all tied up together, and you don’t know where to start, Intuitive Fitness Coaching might be the right fit for you.
Everything is online, so you can sign up to work with me from anywhere in the world. (Although scheduling our live coaching sessions might get tricky if you’re very far from the Central Time Zone.)
I totally get it. Pretty much everything in the world tells us that is the ultimate solution to most every problem. I am a non-diet personal trainer, so I cannot and will not help you lose weight.
If you’re onboard with the concept of non-diet, but it feels sort of scary and you just have no idea how to go about living in a non-diet way, I can help with that. I would ask that you think of this program as an experiment where the desire for weight loss cannot be a variable to account for. So I’m not asking you to give it up forever, just for our 3 months together. I believe that after our time together, you will see why the desire to lose weight is based in bad science, shame, & oppression, and is actually holding you back from adopting true health-promoting behaviors, which is what truly will help you live a fun and fulfilling life–on your own terms.
If you aren’t sure that you can set aside the desire to lose weight for 3 months, I would ask that you look back on my content about weight, fatphobia, and Health At Every Size to get more information about why attempting weight loss isn’t useful, and hold off on signing up until you are ready. No judgment at all. We all learn at our own pace, and you’re the expert of you.
This program is not for you if you:
Great! E-mail me at Info@DeannaBeaton.com and I will get back to you ASAP.
You don’t have to avoid fitness and movement entirely to avoid Toxic Fitness Culture.
You just have to find the right spaces for you.
That’s what Intuitive Fitness is.
A place where you drop the guilt and shame about exercise that’s been (incorrectly) put on your shoulders, discover what you DO have control over, and take back your power, authority, and reasons for moving that FIT FOR YOU!
What do you want out of fitness?!?!?!
