Bouger parce qu’on s’aime! La philosophie de Cathy Lam

Même si Cathy Lam a démarré MonGymEnLigne en 3 mois, c’est l’histoire d’une vie qui se cache derrière sa persévérance.

Cette salle de sport virtuelle francophone est passée de 20 vidéos à son lancement en 2016 à plus de 800 vidéos d’entrainement en ligne en moins de 6 ans. Avec plus de 15 entraineurs qualifiés qui partagent ses valeurs, elle rejoint maintenant près de 20 000 personnes inscrites à leurs différents défis #Fitness. Elle rayonne de Québec à “WorldWide” puisque plusieurs membres européens l’ont adoptée.

Entraineur privé depuis 2011, c’est un évènement incomparable qui l’a complètement transformée: la naissance de Fiston. En effet, c’est à ce moment qu’elle a réalisé qu’elle a passé plus de 20 ans de sa vie à contrôler son poids, avec un manque envahissant d’estime de soi. Elle découvre alors que la pression sociale, l’idéal minceur et les standards de beauté ont ont eu un impact nocif sur sa propre vie, mais aussi, sur la vie de plusieurs.

Son histoire est unique – comme tout le monde! Sauf que c’est exactement à ce moment-là qu’elle de “changer le monde”. Pour léguer un meilleur monde à son fils.

Elle découvre alors une force, une confiance en elle, en ses capacités et en son corps qu’elle souhaite te transmettre. Elle a donc effectué un changement de carrière, en quittant son poste de directrice de restaurant pour se lancer en affaires afin de te transmettre ce bien-être intérieur.

“Quand ta motivation est plus grande que tes craintes, c’est là que tu peux réellement faire une différence, peu importe ton objectif” croit-elle fermement.

Depuis, elle aide les gens à reprendre leur pouvoir sur leur santé et leur estime de soi. Elle change peu à peu l’industrie du fitness en proposant des modèles sains et en dénonçant la pression sociale ainsi que les modèles irréalistes. Son objectif est d’améliorer non seulement ta condition physique, mais aussi de t’aider à découvrir ta force mentale et physique. Sa mission, c’est de t’aider à éliminer tes pensées limitantes et les métamorphoser en actions concrètes et motivantes.
