Today we’d like to introduce you to Beatrice Bebe Catchings.
Beatrice Bebe, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My life changed when I decided I didn’t want the life I was currently living. One day sitting on my mom porched smoking, sick of being the person I was. I simply prayed to God like God I know there’s more to life. It has to be. I want more! Wherever you take me, I will go. After praying I simply went on a run, like I was running from the person I no longer wanted to be And Literally ran into the opportunity to change my life.
Meet a group of people that was working out. Who invited me to join them I declined, but after I joined.
Who knew fitness could save a life, save my life? Fast forward one year later, Bebe’s Bootcamp was formed. Started with my little cousins, and nutrition products to be severed before and after workouts.
Which grew from a few to 50 plus people… After seeing what an impact I was making in my community. I asked myself. What could I create that was solely mine. Where a legacy can be born? To create something that I gave birth to.
BeFitMovement was created, gave birth to my Movement! Trust me the name changed and business failed more than once. From failed Business partners to challenges that not only grew myself but my business as well.
From renting out a gym space to Monthly fitness Challenges to get more exposure… My life was wrapped into fitness. So much I challenged myself daily doing what other though was. Impossible. Like running the hills with Boots on, people always asked me what was I preparing for. I simply told them life. If I can conquer this part, life would be easy. Any adversity that comes my way, I’ll conquer. This is when I knew life was possible for me When I knew I didn’t want to punch a clock for someones else dream.
Soon after bodybuilding became part of my journey. My First bodybuilding show I took Third place and I was hooked. Like this is life. I wanted both more than to travel train and build, a greater brand First opportunity to Traveling was to Dallas to Train a friend, former client. Where I found healing myself and peace in my mind.
After going back to Milwaukee, to competite in my Second NPC bodybuilding show taking third place. I moved Atlanta, with $1000 and dream to. Keep perusing my dreams, as a traveling trainer and bodybuilder. The how didn’t matter, just leaping and my spirit saying yes go after it.
Boy the struggles of leaving a city that showed you so much love was scary, never having to punch a clock. Impacting so many lives. Just being a known, positive person and motivator, was a blessing.
Coming to Atlanta open my eyes to my BeFit Movement being even more possible, seeing people that look like me eat!! Was exciting and I wanted nothing more than to jump in headfirst.
Life laughed at me and sometimes still does. I failed over and over again here in Atlanta, now that I know the city created massive connection, oh it’s about to be one to remember.
Has it been a smooth road?
This road have been the most challenging, exciting most painful but rewarding relationship, I’ve ever been apart of. When I tell you, you gotta be hungry I mean it!!!! This is not for the weak. Clients will fall off, business will not go as planned, opportunities will come and go. Your mind will change. You will be faced with tough decisions. Life will life on you, and you have to be ready to take the punches.
2015 is when everything started to happen for me. Life lived on me, business took off and failed all at the time. Figuring out how to Incorporate my nutrition and Movement into flow. Life was like yes. She ready to take off. Now through everything you got at her.. Literally everything at her… November 22nd 2015. My mom passed away, I became homeless living outta my gym space and hotels, punching a clock for someone else, and I simply was like Yo. I can’t do this. I quit my Job and stayed after it. No one knew what I was going through. I keep Choosing to show up for life daily.
Man before quitting my job. I would wake up a 4am train and workout. Work 10 hours clock out head to the gym. Break all the way down. Pull my shit together and train the rest of my clients for the day. Like nothing ever happen..
Man I wanted and need to success. 2016 I did my first NPC show in honor of my mom broke, hungry and ready for a new chapter of my life. During that time still homeless, in a toxic relationship, Dad leg was anticipated and uncle had a heart attack. I still found resason to keep living to keep showing up for life. Was sick the last two weeks of my show and still place… Thats when the road to expanding and going pro was born… They say 95 % of success is showing up…
So I showed up prepped and unsure most of the time. After moving to Atlanta. I have a job set up, At a gym, but that failed through due to outta state certification, was dead salty. The whole time I had a plans like yes I can rebuild my clientele, and step up shop. Get some exposure. And life had other plans, but I’m still standing, training clients, looking for a set space as well as traveling to clients. You Gotta be willing to sacrifice who you are for who you will become.
