The Bottom Line //
Listen, was Brady a fan of numbers? No, she says it herself. But what makes Brady truly fierce, and what we can look to emulate is:
The self-awareness needed to see past the excuses and to recognize the fear holding you back.
The discipline to first step back, instead of rushing in, to observe, feel, and understand it.
The foresight to surround yourself with people and resources to help you walk through the fear and take ownership of the numbers; top line, bottom line, and everything in between.

About the Founder // Brady Johnson
After not fitting in as a child, Brady turned to fitness as a coping mechanism. Realizing just how Intimidating most gyms were, she vowed to one day to change that. She dreamed of creating an environment that was inclusive, supportive, and welcoming; a place where everyone could achieve their personal fitness dreams, whether it was weight loss or completing a Spartan race.
With discipline and determination, Brady went to work to make her dream a reality. In 2014 her dream became reality with the opening of Encompass Fitness Studio, helping over 400 people lose over 2000 pounds, and forever changing their lives for the better.
