ABOUT ME

I’m Deborah Garnett, I am 52 years old, and I am a passionate kettlebell focused strength and fitness coach located in the beautiful town of McMinnville, Oregon. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been happily married to my hard working and incredibly patient husband, Lee, and I am the proud mother of six amazing children, whose ages range from 14 to 34. My family has taught me invaluable lessons about balance, support, and the importance of prioritizing our health amidst life’s busy demands.

 

I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life. I know how confusing all the information is out there and how all the fad diets tout their miracles (I have tried them all), and seriously the struggle is real. I am here to help stop the insanity of "trying everything and nothing working" (ALLLLLL the diets) and simply getting back to what actually works, long term. Something that is actually sustainable for a lifetime. Unfortunately, the diet dejour is just that, a diet. It is absolutely not a lifestyle, no matter how loudly people scream about it being one. I am talking about something completely different. Making actual lifelong holistic change. With this huge mindset shift, I now choose to strive for health and wellness over chasing a number on a scale. 
 

My journey as both a fitness and a nutrition professional is driven by a deep desire to empower women to discover their inner and outer strengths. In my cozy garage studio, I conduct a few small group classes each week that create a warm and inviting environment for growth, motivation, and community. Through 4-8 week training programs, I provide my clients with the tools they need to embrace fitness as an integral part of their lives, helping them find joy in their progress and transformations.
 

I firmly believe that fitness is not just about "doing a workout"— or "getting to the gym" it's about fostering a lifelong holistic approach to health that is sustainable. This is why I’m excited to expand my coaching to include online and virtual options. Virtual coaching opens up a world of possibilities for my clients, allowing us to connect regardless of geographical and time management barriers. You can now access personalized support and guidance from the comfort of your home, making it easier to fit your fitness journey into your busy lifestyle.
 

Through virtual coaching, I can focus on the "Missing Link" in fitness today - whole health principles, emphasizing optimizing your nutrition, habit building, setting goals, accountability and tracking when needed, and overall wellness. You’ll receive personalized nutritional guidance, effective home-based workouts, and continuous support to help you stay on track. I’m committed to creating an engaging virtual experience that inspires you to take charge of your health and well-being.

One of the most exciting aspects of virtual coaching is the ability to participate in seasonal programs that align with the rhythms of the year. Each season brings new opportunities for growth and reflection, whether it's a spring reboot, summer strength challenge, autumn wellness workshop, or winter mindfulness retreat. Together, we’ll explore how to make your health goals resonate with the changing seasons, enhancing your journey toward a healthier lifestyle.
 

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I’m here to inspire and support you on your unique fitness journey. Let’s embark on this transformative adventure together, embracing the amazing possibilities that we can accomplish together!
