Most weight loss programs totally suck. In fact, they often do more harm than good.
They teach you to fear food, make you feel bad for wanting things like ice cream or wine, and tell you you have to give up your entire social life in order to be fit. They focus on short term weight loss instead of helping you actually live a life that you love. A life where you feel confident in your own skin, comfortable putting yourself out there, and capable of being your best self.
Don’t know where to start? Are you having a hard time overcoming your fear of food? Is it a struggle each day to figure out what to do in the kitchen or gym? Are you stuck in a negative mindset and feeling frustrated? Trust me, I get it.
Whether Your Goal Is To Lose 50lbs Or You Just Want To Improve Your Health + Happiness, You Deserve To...
✅ Have a better relationship with food where you don't shame yourself for having that cookie...
✅ Be able to throw on any outfit in your closet and LOVE how you look...

Which Is Exactly Why I Created The Happy Bod Squad.
ABOUT GEN
Hi, I'm Gen, Women's Weight Loss Expert and CNC. I help career oriented women lose weight, gain confidence, create more energy so that they can advance in their career AND feel sexy and confident in their own skin.
I've coached hundreds of women and helped them ditch the diet mentality through my online coaching program, The Happy Bod Squad.
After going through my own weight loss journey of losing (and keeping off) over 50lbs, I know what it’s like to let the way you feel about your body stop you from going after what you truly want. I let my weight define my own worth when it came to my ability to be happy, have meaningful relationships, enjoy a healthy social life, and have a career that fulfills me.
I spent YEARS trying to lose weight and gain confidence, but every diet or workout program I tried was too intense, complex, restrictive, or confusing. I felt like I was being forced to choose between my happiness and my health...and that's exactly why I created the Happy Bod Squad. Now, my mission is to empower women to find happiness in their health in a way that feels easy and sustainable so you can have the BODY and LIFE you've always wanted.

Client Results
"Life before the Happy Bod Squad felt like I was broken. I felt uncomfortable in my clothes, I was the heaviest Ive ever been, and I knew I needed help.
Now, have way more energy and feel so proud of all I have accomplished here. My clothes fit great and I’m even able to fit into jeans I never could before. The Happy Bod Squad was 100% worth the investment!!! I no longer feel broken. The coaches and community are the best group of women I have ever met. There is so much love, support and understanding here. It’s one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had in my life."
- Sarah B.
“When I started the Happy Bod Squad, I was borderline overweight, I felt like crap, and I didn’t know how to change.
In 1 year I have lost 30lbs, gained muscles I never had, discovered my love of health and fitness, and found confidence in myself I never had. I know how to actually eat things nutritious for my body, love exercising, and am way more confident! I even used this new found confidence to negotiate a 30% raise at work!
Joining Gen's Gym completely changed my life and I'm so grateful I did it.”
- Kaitlin L.
"I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! I lost 40lbs in 12 months within the Happy Bod Squad! Also lost almost 10 inches on my waist. I finally feel hot and confident in my body! The biggest win for me is how much better my relationship with food has become.
I feel like my life has opened up so much honestly and that a huge mental weight has been lifted.I have so much more fun living in the moment at events and wearing clothes I used to believe were off limits. PLUS I love looking back at my wedding photos and LOVING how I looked and felt.
- Claire P.
"In 12 months I lost 50lbs and 4 pant sizes inside the Happy Bod Squad. I really have gained my life back because of all the shifts physically, mentally and energetically.
I have more energy. I'm not tired when I wake up anymore. I don't the get afternoon slumps I used to. I will take pictures with people now and actually love them instead of thinking 'oh I hate this.'
I'm so glad I committed to this journey for myself and my health!
- Janine
"Coming in to the Happy Bod Squad, my goal was to lose weight, get more toned, eat more healthy foods, go out to eat less, have more energy and feel more confident.
After 6 months in the HBS, I've lost weight and inches, I'm able to lift more weight, know how to track my food, and I've completed every workout assigned to me! I have more energy, l'm getting better sleep, have less cravings and am eating out less. All these changes make me feel stronger and more confident! I can even do 15 full pushups!
By far the most valuable part of the program was the accountability and support.
- Haley H.
“Before the HBS I had the mindset of all or nothing. If I wasn't eating healthy 100% of the time then I would just eat crappy with the idea in my head that I would start another weight loss program later on.
After HBS, I have increased confidence and have built a better relationship with food. I feel stronger and healthier, with more energy for playing with my kids.
Having an amazing coach and community to help me through this part of my life journey has been invaluable. Gen has created an amazing program to help women with the foundations needed to live a healthy and meaningful life.”
- Malayka Y.
"Before joining the HBS I was mentally drained and felt constantly sick from all of the gross food I kept putting into my body that I thought I needed to de-stress. Thanks to the HBS I can’t remember the last time I stress ate!
During the program, I lost 20 pounds, but more importantly my old clothes are fitting again and I can’t wait to see where the next year takes me! This year I’m looking to make this health journey a more integral and permanent part of my life instead of just this “thing” I'm doing right now."
- Jessica L.
"Before joining the Happy Bod Squad I was on diet after diet after diet. I was really hard on myself for gaining weight even though I was trying all these things to lose weight.
I lost 25lbs in 6 months and over 20" around my body! I have never felt this good in my life.
I feel like what made the program different to me was having actual humans listening to what was happening with my body, my schedule and what I was able to stick to. It was so much more personal having something truly tailored to me and something I could actually stick to versus a generic app."
- Megan B.
"During my time in the HBS I lost 30lbs!
I have an amazing relationship with food now. I no longer make myself feel guilty about any of the food I eat. Literally, I eat ice cream and drink wine on the reg while still losing weight. I am able to live my life and lose weight because I have shifted my mindset from restrictive and self-deprecating to having discipline and realism with my food in a self-loving way.
Gen is amazing and truly there for you and she truly cares about you and your journey."
- Stephanie H.
"This is the first program I have done that was both nutrition, fitness and 1-1 accountability based. The biggest difference I noticed between this and other programs is that the HBS is altered to you specifically.
The HBS helped me create structure in my life. I say yes to more things. I am able to enjoy weekends. I spend more time outside or with friends. I no longer just want to watch tv and disassociate. I have opened up to people in my personal relationships, and allowed myself to be more vulnerable. I take more risks, and live more in the moment. The HBS is an amazing experience, a great investment to make in yourself. I wish I would’ve done it sooner, but glad I joined when I did.
- Laura P.
“I have been told by dozens of people how much happier, healthier, and vibrant I seem. I feel AMAZING in my clothes, and all of the clothes that I was aiming to fit back into are TOO SMALL!
I have let go of all the stress and anxiety that I had around health/exercise/nutrition because I KNOW that I am making the healthiest choices for myself and crave healthy foods and working out.
I FEEL ABSOLUTELY OVER THE MOON INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
- Becca B.
"I lost about 40 pounds and 42 inches in the year that I was in HBS! I went from a 2XL to a M/L in clothes. I feel so much stronger and more confident than ever before. I feel capable of achieving my goals for the first time ever. I think I always believed I could achieve them, I just didn’t know how. HBS gave me the strategy to go and make my dreams happen.
The high level support and accountability makes Gen’s Gym different from anything I’ve ever done. I am so incredibly thankful for the HBS, Gen for creating it, the coaches for their guidance and support, and the whole community for how much they encouraged me.
- Riley S.

After struggling with my weight and body image my entire life, I truly felt like I would never be able to lose weight and be healthy or happy. After years of self doubt and self loathing, I decided it was time to educate myself on what it TRULY meant to be healthy. I learned everything I could about health and fitness and had to unlearn all of the past diet culture myths I used to believe. I was able to lose 50lbs naturally, without any weird gimmicks. I know what it takes to get results, and it isn’t just “eat less, move more,” like your mom says.
By breaking the emotional eating addiction and replacing it with my nutrition, fitness & mindset foundation for the Happy Bod Squad, together we destroy the self-abuse and rebuild with the powerful body (and spirit) you’ve always craved. I learned the key to happiness in health was loving yourself towards healthy instead of hating yourself towards skinny.
Because it isn’t just about how you look…. It’s about how the world looks to you. And making you feel like you’re on top of it is my specialty.

Certified Fitness and Nutrition Coach, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Binge Eating + Disordered Food Addiction Specialist
I have coached women to achieve their goals for over 20 years as a personal trainer, fitness competition coach, and nutrition specialist.
Body image has always been a struggle for me since my late teenage years as a track athlete and professional ballet dancer. I was striving to be "perfect" by starving myself. When I was in my mid 20s, I got into the fitness/bodybuilding competition world. Although I did win several championship titles, it was at a great cost: no social life, ruining my metabolism, and developing new eating disorders and body image issues. At the age of 40, I finally retired from competing and regained my life through my faith in God and making health my priority over how I looked. I love being able to educate women on the balance of healthy eating and proper exercise, but doing it in a way that reflects self-love and empowerment. I am honored and privileged to be part of this amazing team of coaches who all believe in doing just that.

I have been helping people create a healthier lifestyle that is both fulfilling and sustainable for the past 9 years. Growing up, I struggled with body image and was constantly stuck in the yo-yo dieting cycle. When I found the gym and how good it felt to be strong, it completely changed my mindset on how I viewed myself and what I was capable of. After having my daughter, my passion became teaching other women how to build a healthier mindset, consistent habits, and self-love in order to achieve their goals.
As a mother and a military wife, I understand how easy it is to put your health and goals on the back burner; my mission in life is to educate women on how to properly fuel their body in a way that is not restrictive or shame-based, to show them that exercise can be FUN and not a form of punishment, and to empower them to live fully and unapologetically as strong, confident women in every facet of their lives.

Coach Ariel
COACH
Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Strength Specialist, Certified Mastery Method Coach
I have been coaching women for over 5 years. I became passionate about health and fitness after years of struggling with low self confidence, toxic behavior patterns and feeling totally out of control in my own life. The gym became my new safe space and release. I quickly fell in love with the process because pushing myself with weights or during a workout helped me feel stronger and more capable in other areas of my life outside of the gym too.
I became certified as a personal trainer and later specialized in strength training to teach women how to lift and fuel their bodies to look and perform their best. My intention is to help you build confidence and become the strongest version of yourself, inside and out.
I have a foundation's first approach and believe simple, sustainable + nailing the basics gets the best results. My goal is always to empower you with education, skills + support to achieve your goals + sustain them for life! I'm so honored and excited to help you build a healthy and active lifestyle that allows you to experience MORE of life, not less.

I am SO excited to help women discover their love for themselves again through the amazing transformational program the Happy Bod Squad offers women around the world.
After a successful career in corporate sales spanning 25 years, I decided to follow my passion and help women discover the joy of fitness, connection with other women, and just joy of life through riding bikes.
Some people are influencers, I am a connector. I connect people with people and solutions. In 2014, as a member of the inaugural Trek Women’s Advocate Program, I developed rides and programs which helped women become more self-sufficient and confident in everything related to road and mountain bikes. At that same time, Hammer Nutrition asked me to become a Fueling Expert, and travel to various retail locations to educate riders and triathletes about their products, so I added that to my new career! It was love at first connection… I paired the fueling with the confidence and abilities on bikes, and built a great community of women who raced, rode, and just had fun together!

My passion is helping my community live a healthier, thoughtful and more sustainable life by teaching each individual I can how to live well. I’ve had the pleasure of having a training clientele of many demographics ranging from the high school athlete to men and women in their 80s. Outside of exercise and movement, I have a big focus on teaching about mindful eating, what labels mean and how to sustain a healthy diet, not be ON a diet.Several years ago, my mother suffered a massive stroke that left her hospitalized for 3 months. I dedicated a full year to being personally responsible for her every day recovery. I will say, that was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. That experience has solidified my mission to help others to never have to go through that struggle my mother and I went through.The most important thing I like my clients to remember, is that your BIGGEST life responsibility is your health. Because otherwise, where would you be without it?
Coach Ayla
COACH
Certified Personal Trainer (PT), Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN), and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner (ROHP)
As a competitive athlete growing up,I have always had a passion for the health and wellness industry. From a young age I dove into any opportunity that allowed me to challenge my body both physically and mentally. I grew up with a strong presence in competitive sports. Soccer, swimming, marathon running, triathlons, anything that challenged both my body and mind. This served as an aggregate to my desire to better understand how to support the body from a holistic perspective.
After understanding how unique and important our bodies are, I decided to further my education in holistic nutrition where I actively learned to understand bio-individual needs through a holistic lens.
With 10+ years in the nutrition and fitness industry, I strongly believe that everyone is unique and as a result deserves to be understood as so.

My own transformational journey has motivated me to guide other women through their own healing journeys. Being able to promote the health and wellbeing of the women in Gen's Gym and The Happy Bod Squad has been deeply gratifying. Helping women take the leap and transform their lives is truly a gift!
Growing up on a farm and spending most of my time outdoors, my passion for health and fitness began at a young age. As I got older, I transitioned that energy into playing volleyball and continued to play the sport through college until I suffered a head injury that forced me to take a step back from the game. Both the year that it took for me to heal from that injury and graduating were a shock to my system. For the first time, I had to learn how to navigate nutrition and exercise on my own.
Throughout my journey over these past few years, I have used somatic therapy to do trauma work and I have transitioned to a all natural and organic diet. I have also rediscovered my love of the outdoors, where I spend most of my free time hiking, biking, and white water rafting.

After being diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 22, I questioned everything I knew about healthy eating. I grew up eating the traditional diet, and was active up until college..so how could I get sick?
After years of being on up to 12 medications a day, I made the decision to focus on living a healthy lifestyle that was full of nutritious foods and cultivating a growth mindset. After a few months of following this lifestyle, my symptoms were in remission! Even so, I still struggled with consistency and feeling confident in my own skin.
It wasn’t until I joined Gens Gym and became a client of the Happy Bod Squad, that I was able to finally break the mental and physical barriers that have been holding me back all these years. I can finally look in the mirror and be proud of the woman looking back at me - no matter what comes my way. I’m so grateful to not only be a client of Gens but also apart of the team!
