Friday has me in the mood to PLAY! But it's raining, so let's take a little walk down memory lane....it's been awhile 😎

🐮Originally from Missouri and totally wear that midwestern charm loud & proud!

🤸‍♀️I'm a big kid at heart, will never pass up a doughnut, and will always choose sneakers over heels.

🗽I moved to NYC 10 years ago (WOAH) to work in the fashion industry. I first interned at and then worked at a few PR Agencies the next couple of years.
💅🏼It sounds glamorous on paper, and it honestly probably was....but my heart just wasn't in it.

🦄I've always had this hunger for a bigger life. No, I don't mean money & luxury. I mean happiness, FUN, making an impact, excitement, learning, loving & truly living.

After I decided the fashion industry maybe wasn't my calling, I took a year to waitress & do a little soul searching.

💪🏼Being an athlete growing up, struggling with an eating disorder for 10+ years, and this desire to help others, the fitness industry was calling my name and damnnn did it deliver!

6 years in the industry and I've held multiple roles within my career and counting:
- personal trainer at NYSC
- group fitness instructor at OTF
- Head Coach at OTF UWS
- Virtual Instructor & Trainer
- Nutrition Coach

and now 🌟🤩🌟
- Business Owner of Chelsea Bommel Fitness LLC

Some days I'm just waiting for someone to pinch me awake, because I truly feel like I'm living my dreams.... and it's only just the beginning.

My life has in NO way gone how I'd expected. I thought I wanted to be a young mom 😳 & veterinarian. I mean, a cat mom of 4 totally counts....so maybe I'm right on track HA

Just a little reminder that some things don't work out, because the universe has bigger plans for you 😘.

⁉️Did you every have a big AHA moment that totally changed your life?! Does it scare you a little on how different your life might have been if you chose a different path?

And just like that, it's July 🎆!

I don't know about you, but I LIVEEEE for the summer time. Warm weather, icy cold drinks, long summer nights, outdoor adventures (aka roaming the city for hours.) And the occasional vacay, which I feel so lucky to have gotten to go to last week in Cancun!

{First time paddleboarding and it was hardddd (or maybe that was the tequila), but so fun once I got the hang of it. Have you tried?!}

😎 Listen, we all know how quick the summer goes by though..... so go grab your planner and let's make sure we have a FUN July ahead!!!

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
What's your focus this month?
Going on vacation?
What adventures do I have planned? If none, MAKE SOME!
What self care am I adding in?
What tiny goal can I set for myself this month?
Do I need a different workout plan if I'm on-the-go all month?

All those things that you keep saying you "want" to do... let's go make them happen! Summer bucket list, anyone?!

Absolute favorite vacation spot.... drop it below so I can start planning for next year 😉

I spy a rebrand 👀 in 3...2...1.....

And just like that, my new website is live!!!!

Y'all have no idea how excited I am to share with you what I've been up to with the team at Team AP Consulting (). We've upgraded my branding, refocused my services and created my brand new website.... and it is so freaking beautiful & fun 🤩!

To the woman who is :
😎 Breaking all the rules
💃 Living her most vibrant & fulfilling life
❤️ Unapologetically taking up space in this world
🌟 Breaking free of society's expectations of how we "should" be...this community is for you, love.

Thank you so much for all your continuous support, especially in the past year and a half. I wouldn't be where I am today without my tribe behind me. It's amazing what you can accomplish in this life with a strong support system..... and even stronger coffee (or tequila, depending on the day) 😉.

Cheers to you and this lifelong journey of health & happiness 🥂.

There will be even more coming very soon, but for now go take a peek at the new site & branding - link in bio! Let me know what you think eeeekkkk!

(...and as for me, I'm off to the beach ✈️🌴 )

Two days, love. See you soon 😍.

Rebrand, comin in hot 🔥.

We went fun, enthusiastic, humorous, nostalgic, giggly, exciting, happy, safe.

I can’t wait for you to see it.

Shoutout to Ashli’s team at Team AP Consulting for helping me with this every step of the way.

4 days til the rebrand is live.

More me, more aligned, more opportunity to serve you exactly where you’re at.

Know that you’re not alone and that feeling at home in your body is one of the hardest things we can do, especially as women.

It’s a lifelong journey, and I’m so honored that you’re joining me 💕.

New and Improved - but mostly, more aligned. Coming soon.

“The longest journey of any person is the journey inward.”

My whole life I've been searching and trying to find where I fit in this world.
Even as a child, I was always thinking that I needed to be different than who I was and trying to find ways to "fit in."

If you didn't already know, I actually went to college for a degree in Fashion Merchandising - that's what brought me to NYC!

For once in my life, I felt like I actually made it! Me, living in NYC and working for a bomb PR company..... and I can honestly say I had never felt so disconnected from myself as I did during those 3 years.

So what did I do? What my crazy self always does.... I quit. I knew I was meant for something different once again, something more!

Growing up an athlete, dealing with an eating disorder for half my life, and the desire to be able to change other's lives, I knew exactly where my calling was....

It's been 7 years since I made the decision to switch careers, one of the toughest yet most rewarding decisions of my life. Becoming a personal trainer has not only changed my life, but I've been able to inspire and help change hundreds of my client's live!

When I lost my job last year when gyms closed down, I saw an opportunity to pivot once again!

How can I reach even more lives and continue paving my own path in this world?

The online space!

So I dove head first - utilizing my years of experience in business, managing teams, and my 6+ years of personal training, I started creating this new life for myself in the online space!

It wasn't until this rebranding that I was able to actually see me as not only a trainer but also as a goofball who doesn't need to "fit in".

I realized I can do and be all the things at the same time and grow as a person - with permission.

This is my permission to myself to show up as me, but this is also your permission to do what feels right for you!

Even if that means saying f*uck all the rules! Even if that means pivoting completely.

Change is hard, but it's always soooo worth it!

And I am always here to guide you through your own changes.

🎇The new Chelsea Bommel is live 6/22 and I cannot wait for you to see it!🎇

Relaunch is coming 6/22. See you then 😎 xx

We all know that this past year has been absolutely wild 🤪. And while things have been extremely difficult in so many ways, I’m so blessed to have been able to pivot my business and reach clients virtually all over the country!

I’ve learned that my clients that I train in person in NYC are no different than the woman online who see what I do and want something different for themselves too❤️.

Whether you’re needing a trainer for accountability, or the woman who is ready to get healthier with her nutrition and workouts, or the woman who needs to learn better habits, you’ve got a place to turn to now. I’ve got you - and we can grow together 💪🏼!

BRB 👋 we’re remodeling. So much new + improved coming to you next week 😍!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but I definitely did....

▫️It is absolutely never going to be the right timing.
▫️You're never going to have it all figured out.
▫️You're going to fight yourself, tell yourself you can't, and want to quit.
▫️You didn't do it yesterday, so..... 
▫️Your goal seems so out of reach, why either bother?
▫️Not starting is a lot easier than creating discipline and just doing the damn thing.
▫️You're frustrated you don't see results right away.

We all want amazing things in our life! But are you ready and willing to get our of your old patterns of the easy way out and get uncomfortable doing something different, regardless of the amount of time it might take?

- Working towards your dream bod
- Going for that promotion
- Moving across the country
- Having great relationships
- Starting that new business
- Getting on your first podcast
- Starting a family
- Healing your relationship with food & your body

We can wish and want things all day long, but until you start taking MESSY 👏 CONSISTENT 👏 ACTION, you're going to stay stuck where you're at.

Take away the stress of the end goal, and get in the present. Work on your mindset, work through your daily roadblocks, get comfortable being uncomfortable! 

It's not that you aren't capable, because you totally are! Set the fear aside for a second, and get clear on your WHY and WHAT.... and start chasing that dream. 

Drop a hell yeah below if you're working through roadblocks too, but doing the damn thing anyways 🙋‍♀️.

New Month - New Mindset!

Are you a planner? Or kind of just like to ride the wave and see what happens?

Listen, I'm a Sagittarius to a T. I hate being tied down to anything that doesn't serve me. I hate plans, but love last minute adventures. And I typically jump before there are any real thoughts on where I am landing.

But I do know how important it is to set intentional plans. Because guess what - life isn't slowing down for you to get your $hit together.

The top of each month I take a little time to plan what my focus is:
- Do I have any huge projects that are going to take up a lot of my time?
- Is there something I've been wanting to do and keep putting off?
- What adventures am I taking this month?
- Is there anything new I can incorporate into my day to day?
- Spring cleaning?
- What self care am I adding in?
- What tiny goal can I set for myself?

Speaking for myself here, but the moment I stopped saying "I'm a procrastinator and I hate planning," I could feel the stress melt away.

I used to avoid the feeling of stability. I hated feeling structured because my life was always so messy.

So I leaned in to that discomfort, and did the exact thing I had been avoiding.

Stop wishing for your life to change. Sitting on the couch. Scrolling through your phone. Watching hours of tv..... all of those things are okay sporadically.

But if you want to actually see your life change & improve - you have got to put those plans into motion & MAKE them happen!

This month, let's set our intention to creating and celebrating NEW BEGINNINGS. You have the ability every single day to change your story and create a new path. You just need to be brave enough to say YES!

What's something you're working towards or looking forward to this month?!?

Can you do something for me?

Okay, it's not for me, it's for you 😉. But I need you to promise yourself something.

Please stop telling yourself that you're a failure. If you're doing the absolute best that you can, what are you failing at?

Life isn't a race....

Loosing the weight.
Getting the promotion.
Having the family.
Traveling around the world.
Hell, just having time to clean your home 😜.

What's the rush? Because remember, once you hit one goal or life milestone.... you'll still be looking for the next thing.

Your life is all about perspective, and if you're constantly telling yourself you are behind, or failing, or not doing enough, then you absolutely will never be enough.

🧘‍♀️Take a deep breath in..... exhale out on a 3 count... and listen closely.

You need to remind yourself of what matters most, and remind yourself often. What truly brings you happiness? What fuels your fire? What keeps you going?

Happiness doesn't just magically appear at the end goal. Happiness needs to be a part of your whole entire journey. How do you expect life to hand you what you're asking for if you don't even believe it?

💕 You are not behind, you're exactly where you are meant to be.

Stop self-sabotaging your efforts just because you haven't gotten somewhere as fast as you'd like.

Keep pushing forward!
Keep believing that it's possible!
And remind yourself often just how badass you are 😘.

If you ever need a reminder, I am always over here cheering you on! Now go have an amazing weekend and do something to get yourself out of that funk and back into your happy place!

How to lose weight fast?

I googled this the other day because I was curious. Why? Because my clients ask me this question all the time - especially when they're frustrated that they aren't seeing progress quick enough.

So what results came up in my search?

2 Minute Ritual Burns Fat Fast
Lose Belly Fat - 23lbs in 7 days
Keto Diet Pills
Fasting Diets That Work

The internet is FILLED with quick fixes and magic pills! And I'm sorry to break it to you, but it's all a bunch of bu****it.

🔸If it were easy to lose weight, our country wouldn't have an obesity problem.
🔸If it were easy to lose weight, we wouldn't find ourselves in a spiral of disordered eating.
🔸If it were easy, there wouldn't be billions of dollars being spent each year on diet products.

When I first start working with my Redefining Female Strong Group or 1:1 Nutrition Clients, I tell them straight up that my Program is NOT a quick fix. You probably won't see a dramatic change in the beginning.

WHY?

Because I want you to learn about all the things that WILL get you out of this yo-yo cycle.

Things that really matter when it comes to weight loss:
- Sleep
- Stress
- Hydration
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Gut Microbiome
- Understanding your hunger & fullness cues
- Regular physical activity
- Whole/unprocessed foods at regular intervals throughout the day
- Supportive social network
- CONSISTENCY

I want my clients to understand why things might have worked once, and will never work again. I want them to learn how to take baby steps on each area of their life and have a better understanding & connection to their bodies. I want them to realize that weight loss is so much more than exercising every day and thinking they need to eat 1,200 calories.

Weight loss isn't supposed to be easy. It's not about being perfect. It's not about having the "best plan". It's actually taking the time to uncover your current habits & behaviors, and make life long sustainable changes.

Anything in life that is worth it will always require work & sacrifice.

What are some of the awful diets & quick fixes out there that you've tried before 👇?! Cabbage Soup diet 🙋‍♀️💩

Hope y’all have a kickass Saturday 😜.

After almost 10 years of working 6-7 days a week (okay I still basically do, but it’s for myself now 🙏🏼) I got to wake up this morning and lead the Redefining Female Strong ladies through their weekly workshop. I added these workshops this round as extra accountability, extra motivation, but also as education.

Even though this program is completely virtual, I want them to get the most education they possibility can, and that means face to face time within their programming each week.

I have tears in my eyes that I GET to do this every week. I’ve worked my ass off to get here.... and I’d be lying if I said I have my s**t together. It’s a daily learning process. But I’m so thankful and beyond grateful 🙏🏼.

Find your blessings.... life is too damn short!!!

Now off to a friend’s birthday 🥳 !

What fun do you have planned this weekend that you’re super grateful you get to be a part of👇🏼?!

🔊 How you spend your time shows what really matters to you.

I don't know about you, but just hearing that sentence makes me think.... "damn girl, that's harsh."

So what if I want to binge Netflix tonight. So what if I want to scroll on Instagram for an hour or two. So what if I go out with friends tonight, and wake up too hungover to workout like I had planned. So what if I want put off what I NEED to do for what I WANT to do?

Listen, I am alllll for breaking the rules and getting off course every now and then! Life doesn't need to be so hard and rigid, we should all be more spontaneous more often....

But if you have a goal you're trying to reach, your priorities should have more space than your excuses.

Sometimes parts of your life may need to take a backseat so you can focus on what matters most.

I used to struggle so hard saying no. I had always been the YES girl. Yes, I'll gladly take on another project! Yes, I can work on this for you instead of my own work. Yes, I can go out tonight (even though I know I shouldn't). Yes, I can talk on the phone now (even though I was about to do what I needed to do, but it can wait). Yes, I’ll have another slice of pizza even though I’m stuffed 🤪.

Being the YES girl isn't always cute.

Being the YES girl means that you're saying NO to you.

And saying no to yourself means that your hopes and dreams are being pushed aside for someone or something else.

How you spend your time shows what really matters to you.

Create that boundary for yourself and start saying no more often when you know deep down that saying yes is only going to add more stress into your life.

It's not selfish, it's necessary!!!

Is there anything you've been wanting to add more space & time for these days but somehow the excuses always win 👇??

Our lives are shaped around the habits we've built for ourselves and the daily decisions we make.

You have the choice to change your story every single day.

Every single day you can wake up and decide to do something just a little bit differently.

Yet, we like to remain in a safe space without discomforts. Which means we'd rather stay the same than allow the space for new things.

We would much rather have a quick fix because that means less work, than actually working on building a habit that WORKS.

Things as simple as:
* Taking the 5 minutes to cook oatmeal vs pouring yourself a bowl of cereal
* Getting off the subway two stops early to walk to your route and get in extra steps
* Reading a book instead of turning on the tv
* Meal prepping on your days off so you're less likely to order in when you're busy
* Journaling out your thoughts & feelings vs taking out your stress on yourself & others
* Meditating for 5 minutes first thing in the morning vs scrolling on our phone for an hour

Building habits don't have to be hard. You make them hard.

If I can offer you any advice, start small. We can't change our whole world in a day, in a week, in a year. It takes small tiny conscious decisions to change even the smallest habit, because the majority of what we do every single day is subconscious.

📋 Make a list of all those things that you have been "wanting to change" and then choose ONE thing to work on for at least a month. There's no need to rush the process. Life is all about figuring out WHO you are and WHAT you enjoy doing. And that's something that we shouldn't try and rush.

So what is one small tiny habit you can start implementing into your every day that you just KNOW is going to make you happier, more aligned, less stressed?

It's the tiny little things we do every single day that lead up to the biggest rewards. Nothing in life that is great comes easily. We have to work for it, and prove that we want it.

Habits are hard to make & even harder to break, but it's totally possible!

It's your life boo. But I know you don't want to be known for making excuses 😘.

Are you working on building any habits right now? Drop it below & let's chat about it!!!

🎉 Doors are closing today for RFS! 🎉

Hope you all have a great weekend! I’m off to celebrate the Spring 21 class🥂

Don't take it from me! Listen to them....

"It can sound insane but you truly don’t feel alone in RFS."

"I was able to open up about topics I’ve never felt open about to complete strangers."

"Consistent workouts for the first time in six months! My body already feels stronger."

"It is truly live changing and I don’t know how I would have survived the last few months without it."

"I have lost 18lbs since starting the program - I can't believe it!!!"

"I can now fit in an old pair of jeans that we're definitely too small for me 3 months ago."

"I had fear around eating too much. Truthfully, I was afraid of calories. You taught me so much about nutrition and of my own energy needs, and to not be afraid of it!"

📣 Girl, I know you're tired of trying the next best thing. I know you're tired of constantly thinking about food, your body, and what workouts will be most effective.

This program was built so you can find freedom from all those thoughts, and start LIVING your best damn life!

Don't let this be another, "I'll wait until next round." The time is now boo!
