They say the best relationships start with shared passions, and for us, that passion just happened to involve dumbbells and determination. We met in the most fitting place for two personal trainers: the gym. In our case, work. Between early-morning shifts, workouts, and training sessions, what began as friendly encouragement quickly turned into something much stronger. Whether it was spotting each other on the bench or cheering each other through life’s challenges, we found a partnership built on balance, trust, and laughter. Our connection grew beyond the gym wall into dates, long talks, and a shared dream of building not just stronger bodies, but a stronger future together. Now, we’re trading in our workout gear for wedding attire and stepping into our next great adventure, proving that when love and fitness collide, the results are truly unbeatable.

I knew A’Zariah was the one when we had our first real convo... and she made this sound with her mouth.. and the only person I've ever known to make that exact sound was my mom, who had passed a month prior!. From the moment she had my attention, it felt like something divine, like God had sent this person straight from heaven & I also felt like my mom sent her or prayed for God to send me someone. I'll never forget that moment.

When I first met Aaron, his mother had just recently passed away. He had just returned from his bereavement leave, and I was starting at 10 Fitness. From our first conversation, I knew he had a pretty special heart! One thing that stood out to me was his whole perspective during this time. Although I knew how hard it was for him to stay strong, his energy still filled the atmosphere. He was extremely funny and danced all over the gym! Another thing that kept my attention was how motivating and encouraging he was. I kept thinking to myself, "This man doesn't even know me, and yet he's pushing me to be the best possible version of myself like he has known me his whole life"! Over time, we became close friends, and after our first date, the rest has been history! I had a few confirmations as to when I knew Aaron was the one for me. The first moment was when I was competing for Miss City of Colleges 2025, and he was quite literally the loudest person in the auditorium! One moment was when I met AJ for the first time. Knowing how much love he had for his son and all of the love he has for his mom let me know that he had a great capacity to love me as well. Then, when I finally got to meet his family for the first time and they were just as sweet, funny, and loving as he was! It's funny how so many people around us knew we were going to be together before we finally admitted it to ourselves that we had a crush on each other. It's been a wild ride with this man, and I cannot wait to continue to go through this crazy thing called life with him by my side!
