Hello,

I’m Eliza, owner of FAYV Fitness. My greatest joy is centered around my family and embracing the things I love most in life.
Life is rarely a smooth path, but I’ve learned to navigate its twists and turns with gratitude and purpose. This is driven by my core philosophy: Learn from the past, live fully in the present, and always strive to become the best version of myself in the future. This mantra guides both my personal life and the foundations of FAYV Fitness.
We all have a story that defines us. Mine started early: an eight-year-old facing a diagnosis of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I fought hard, survived, and count myself incredibly fortunate to be a cancer survivor today.
But survival came with a cost. As an adult, it was evident the aggressive chemotherapy and radiation had created significant damage within my body. I realized my physical health was compromised, and I couldn’t just be a survivor; I had to actively rebuild.
That pivotal moment marked the beginning of my deliberate journey toward reclaiming my health.
The process demanded dedication: endless learning, inevitable failed attempts, and steady improvement. These efforts resulted in better physical health, surprising achievements, a stronger body, improved mental well-being, and profound personal growth.
Today, health isn’t a want; it’s a non-negotiable necessity. My daughter, Halle, is my daily motivation. She lives with Cerebral Palsy and needs me to be her strength—to lift her, move with her, and engage fully in life by her side. We are an unstoppable team: we work, shop, listen to music, and learn together. I am incredibly grateful for the health that allows me to care for her. Halle is my everyday reminder to be strong, positive, confident, grateful, happy, and healthy.
