Find Your Reason Changed it up a bit. Wanted to build some conditioning so I tried FYR 2.0 on @bodybuilding.com and by @hannaheden_fitness who's a badass. Just saying!! This workout really kicked my butt. It involved kettle bells and lots of plyo work. No matter how much you think that you know, there's always room to grow. Keep growing and grinding!! . . . #findyourreason #fitness #hybridathlete #workoutsweat #conditioningworkout #justmovewh #plyometricstraining #kettlebellworkout #noexcuses #fyr #hannaheden #bodybuildingcom #athleticbodybuilding (at Just Move Athletic Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjILSbDUpj/?igshid=1vrnw4qk9zeot

HANNAH EDEN: DROPPING THE PAST & CREATING A FUTURE

In a perfect world, success comes easy without any bumps in the road. However, the world isn’t perfect and adversity is ultimately what shapes people into who they become. For Elite Reebok trainer, Hannah Eden, it took growing up with a dark streak, an international move, and a good friend to set her on the right path. We get up close and personal with Hannah, creator of PumpFit, as she shares her life story, her passion for fitness and her truths about success.

The Dark Streak

I was born and raised in England, and I was born with an extremely dark streak within me. This darkness was inside of me for reasons I don’t know... and I’m still trying to figure it out.

I have a great, loving family who have always supported and loved me throughout everything, but for some reason a demon still lived inside me. It was very angry and very self destructive, which lead to me making really bad negative decisions. Even after moving to the US, this demon was still there. I was extremely unhappy. I didn’t move the the US by choice, but was dragged here kicking and screaming. At the time, I was a bratty teenager and I hated my parents for the longest time.

Moving To The US & Getting A Second Chance

After a while, I grew up and had this epiphany like, “Holy shit - you’ve been given another chance to start again, no one needs to know anything - you can move forward from here and create your own future and write your own story!” So I did.

After I finished high school in Massachusetts, I moved to Florida. However, when I got to there, I was still super lost. I fell into that Miami party lifestyle and while I was happier, I was still making self destructive decisions and doing things that I definitely don’t suggest anyone does.

I started bartending and worked around the clock, making way too much money and having too much free time on my hands. During my bartending days, I met a friend that is still a dear friend of mine, and he kept talking about this thing called CrossFit. At the time, I was this girl that was severely underweight, loved to go out seven days a week, didn’t sleep, didn’t eat and was like, “What the hell is CrossFit?”

He had this crazy idea to invest in a CrossFit gym, so I gave it a chance because I wanted to support him. As a result, I ended up falling in love with CrossFit. When I started, I weighed like 105 pounds and I’m almost 5’10”. I found I had a lot of health issues I was unaware of.

Healing Through CrossFit

I found that CrossFit was something I really enjoyed, and then like two, four, six months in, I realized that  dark streak had gone away. This was my therapy. CrossFit, exercise, fitness - whatever you want to call it - this was my release. This allowed me to push my dark side out and be who I really am supposed to be - because I know I’m happy, I know I love my family, I know I have good intentions, and I know I have good morals.

I finished school, I graduated college with a Bachelor’s degree in Photography and I was an honor student. At this point, I had another epiphany; “You have a life to live and you’ve only got one. It’s very fragile, you probably almost lost it a few times and now, but you have this great opportunity to make the most out of it.” So I did.

Embracing Passion

After graduating, I learned that photography wasn’t what I was supposed to be doing. I was really into this CrossFit thing. I was given the opportunity to take the CrossFit Level 1 course, which would certify me as a CrossFit coach. I passed my Level 1, and started coaching a class similar to boot camp. After I first started the boot camp, I decided I really wanted to start coaching CrossFit.

I learned a lot about the sport during this time, but after a while, I realized that I still preferred the boot camp.

The Creation Of PumpFit

That’s how PumpFit came around. PumpFit is all about time-based workouts. There is no rep scheme to hit;  it’s here is a minute, you do as many reps as you can do in that minute. You may be in the same class as someone that is an elite athlete, or a person struggling with obesity, or the same class as a 72 year old person. Everyone in that class is getting the most out of it and they are feeling good, they leave the gym feeling like super satisfied and super proud.

I used to do the class inside the CrossFit gym, but I realized that I was onto something when a large percentage of the gym stopped doing CrossFit and started doing PumpFit. For most, if you do CrossFit, you don’t do anything else. So I was like, “Dang, I must be doing something right here!”

From there I was trying to find my feet developing this brand. I was still bartending, so I used to drive straight from my bartending shift at like 7am straight to Nikki Beach in Miami, and host what I called Nikki Fit Sundays. Finally, a year goes by and I’m still doing this stuff, but I’m not getting paid for it. I never really understood the feeling of passion until that moment. I realized this is what I’m supposed to be doing, this is my dream and I would wake up every day doing it for free. I don’t sleep at night, I bend over backwards to make sure that my clients are my friends and I invest in them just as much as I have invested in myself.

Luckily, I had a very good opportunity to build a business. At one point, PumpFit grew so big that we had the problem of being too large. It started to dominate the CrossFit gym, so we realized we needed to separate ourselves.

On December 1st, 2016, we moved into our own location, and now we have a gym that is booming! It’s actually extremely overwhelming of how successful it’s been. Now, we’re considering ways to grow the brand.

The Raw Truth About Success

I think people like just assume that there is going to be a handbook or manual on how to be successful. A question people always ask is, “What is success to you?” Success to me is waking up every day, being happy with what you are doing - even if you’re doing it for free - and being able to do your passion for the rest of your life. It’s not money, it’s not a status, it’s not Facebook followers, Instagram followers, likes and what not. That’s not real - that just comes along with exposure. We were all born as human beings and how you choose to determine  your future is going to establish where you go.
