Meet Alyssa Edge of Werkout Barbie in Marietta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alyssa Edge.

Alyssa, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I have always been somewhat physically active, but I never committed to a fitness journey. I found myself scrolling through Instagram often. I compared myself to other bodies. I thought I wanted to look like. I switched up diets every few months, searching for a quick fix. If it worked for them, it SHOULD work for me. The diets worked temporarily; I would lose some weight, but it would always come back. I felt extremely defeated because I was the heaviest that I had ever been. I was uncomfortable in my own skin.

I had a hard time finding curvier women that had the same body goals as myself. I wanted to see someone that looked like me. Through this search, I came to the realization that no one else is me. I had to stop waiting for someone else to be my “body goals”. I educated myself and became my own model. My confidence reformed and my self-love deepened. I committed to myself and lost 60 LBs within the span of a year.

Within this journey, Werkout Barbie was born. My fitness journey has taught me love myself in every season. With Werkout Barbie, committing to your fitness goals not only transforms your body it also transforms your mindset. Werkout Barbie was created to inspire women to regain the best version of themselves. I offer personal training, virtual werkout programs, and meal plans with apparel coming soon. Every person’s body is unique. Therefore, I pride myself on customizing programs to achieve the client’s goals. I believe that you can become your own body goals. Committing to yourself is the best decision you will ever make: Don’t just dream it, be it.

Has it been a smooth road?
They say you know you have found your calling when it no longer feels like work. I enjoy every part of what I do. Starting a business has been a challenge. I maintain a corporate job while trying to navigate the new waters of entrepreneurship. Creating content and inspiring others comes more naturally to me. The business aspect has been a learning experience all the way through. I have hit my share of roadblocks. It would not be a success if there were no hardships. I remind myself of this and continue to trust God. Although my path does not seem smooth, I am exactly where I need to be.

We’d love to hear more about Werkout Barbie.
Werkout Barbie is an evolving health and wellness brand that offers a variety of programs. You can train with me virtually as well as in person. Health is more than fitness. It is mental, it is physical, and it is spiritual. This is the concept that I instill in my clients. I want to encourage individuals to strive for their ambitions, no matter where they are in their health journeys. Through Werkout Barbie, I aspire to make people love themselves into wholeness. These layers are what make each body unique. This is why I offer custom programs—programs that address the uniqueness of each individual and, ultimately, ensure success.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I personally do not believe in luck. I believe we all have a divine purpose. If we continue to set our sights on the Lord, we are exactly where we are supposed to be. When things do not go as planned, I view it as a learning experience.
