Meet Timerra (Mer’Rae) Hardy of Body by Hardy Fitness and Bootcamp in Fulton County

Today we’d like to introduce you to Timerra Hardy.

Timerra, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Personally, I am someone who loves promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle and working out, but, I also love living my life to the fullest. I recently graduated from Georgia State University with a B.A in Biochemistry in 2019. After graduating from college, I decided to travel and spend a span of seven months with my sister in Fairbanks, Alaska. Honestly, it was a life-changing experience. I met a lot of new people, got a job, was able to travel and visit various cities throughout the state, and had the opportunity to witness the northern lights. The experience was breathing. However, I knew I wanted to do more. So, I decided to move back to Atlanta and shift my mindset back to pursuing an M.D and becoming a Pediatrician. Medical school applications became my primary focus, but because I have always been an athletic person, I started missing being a part of a community of people with the same drive and ambition as me. Who are also passionate about volunteering, community involvement, and enjoys mentoring younger individuals. So God blessed me with an ideal opportunity to do both.

That is when my journey of being a fitness advocate started. We all were created by God to walk this earth and be a light, a vessel to share our gifts and talents, to show love and help in time of need. My goal for being a fitness advocate is to build a genuine connection with my clients, having a positive impact in their lives by helping my clients feel beautiful, healthier, more empowered, and even confident. The end game is to eliminate all excuses. Clients will no longer say (“I wish I could, I want to start today etc.) and get committed to themselves and their goals. Also to show the younger generation that anything is possible if you have faith and work for your dreams.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Starting something new is always scary and psychologically, you become your biggest competitor. Honestly, I scrutinize myself more than ever before and different types of fears; like being judged, not having enough support, wondering I will fail or succeed started creeping into my mind. I would get upset If something did not go according to my plans, and I began doubting everything. At times it feels as if I am wasting my time because let’s be honest. We all have lives. I am working a full-time corporate job while preparing to enter medical school 2021 I have (studying, testing, and applications to complete), and I have family and friends I desire to spend more time with. But who am I to dime the light that God put in me? Every day I remind myself that my posts on social media are not for me; they are for the people who are learning from me. I know I am being judged, but I will not allow that to change me spiritually as a person! I have a life, but I learned to find a balance and schedule. How can I teach empowerment if I am stressing out over my own goals? I started praying more and shortly after. God showed me, my friends and family, who were standing behind me, speaking positivity into my life, and who loves me. I am still learning that you have to get out of your own way before you can help someone else.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
The biggest blessing in my business is my family and friends. They are always showing up and are consistently providing support. Fun fact, my younger sister and my mom were actually the very first members in my training boot-camp. If I had started over, I honestly do not believe I would do anything different.
