Heidi Quimby, ACSM

FIT RECOVERY TRAINER

I am grateful to be included in the Powered by Transformation family where recovery is possible. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Professional Figure Competitor, International Best-Selling Author and mother of four handsome boys. I am seeking to motivate and inspire others to become the best-version-of themselves.

Hi, I’m Heidi Quimby and I am “THE Weight Lifter.” I have become known by this title throughout my walk down the path that I am about to take you. For over a decade, I have been lifting weights in a couple of different ways and for a couple of different reasons…The first way I lift weights is mentally. I believe that your exterior is a mirror image of your interior. The training must begin from the inside out. My personal philosophy is that if you “Train the mind, the body will follow!” I have been told that I have an innate ability to help people feel better about themselves which has become my life’s work. I believe that we all have obstacles and challenges that stand between us and what we want most out of our lives. Identifying with clients that have some displaced feelings and emotions is an area I can be very effective as a personal trainer. While we all struggle with making excuses, believing in ourselves and listening to the quiet words of our intuitive self, the struggle is an essential part of the overall journey. I feel that I have educated and mastered my thoughts and behaviors, training them to work in harmony with one another, creating balance in my life. Clients will benefit from working with me as I bring an array of experience through many walks of life, a myriad of life lessons and the success to back it up. I will work diligently to motivate, inspire, challenge and support my clients in all areas of wellness, not just their physical fitness.

The second way I lift weights is physically. Yes, I pick up heavy chunks of iron and then set them down again and repeat this process until my body looks the way I want it to. The elements of my strength are consistently on display through discipline, structure, regimen and hard work. Every day I get to carry my work with me and I am proud of the physique I have molded and created for myself through a healthy lifestyle that includes proper rest, nutrition, abstinence from drugs and alcohol, daily exercise and meditative prayer. I believe that working hard pays dividends, small steps lead to great accomplishments and that anyone can Be, Have or Do anything they set their mind to. Integrity, honesty, and work ethics, coupled with a positive attitude and sprinkled with a good measure of mental grit, is my powerful recipe for success. Consistency is key, a consistent effort will yield results if an individual has a “no quit in here” mentality.

I hope that I can serve as a positive addition in your journey of health and wellness.

Torri High, ISSA

FIT RECOVERY TRAINER

In 2013, after nearly two decades of struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, and alcohol abuse, Torri changed the story she told herself.

A Mother and a Partner, she knew she needed different and that she would be a force if she could turn her life around. She desired to use that energy to be her own hero and then help those who were still suffering.

Running out of options, Torri entered treatment for her eating disorders through mental health court. She began her transformation studying health and wellness after this experience. Her son, who is one of her hero’s, was THE catalyst to her change. Torri spent hours in the library learning how to build muscle, nourish her brain through whole foods and how exercise played an important role of not only physical transformation, but the mental and emotional sides too. Torri took this knowledge and began implementing these healthier habits into her life. This new lifestyle would be what changed the trajectory of her LIFE. This is where putting down the drink, once and for all took place. This was the second ‘pivotal’ moment of Torri’s recovery.

December 22, 2013 the obsession of escape was wiped from Torri’s existence. By putting down alcohol, she also began picking up healthy habits. These included, eating more protein, drinking more water, taking vitamins and lifting weights. It did not take long for Torri’s frail frame to take on a drastic change. She was hungry, literally, for more. Torri began to love parts of her body, that she once bullied herself over. She began to look forward to challenging herself with the iron.

She began to trust herself and build confidence. Torri, then began to face her demons, fall into her reality and heal the trauma that she kept trying to escape. She began to see her worth and wanted to share her life and experience with others.

After years of self-study, being her own Guinea pig, Torri knew she had to bring her recovery into other’s reality. She knew her struggle and her survival would be another’s survival guide.

In 2018, after her second MIRACLE child she found a nutrition tracking app that would help her refuel her body, build more muscle and keep her moving forward. She also began working with

a personal coach. She quickly fell in love the fitness community and lifestyle.

Torri took her passion to the next level and became an advisor for a fitness company. She has helped hundreds of men and women on their own journey. Through helping others, she has fallen particularly in love with helping women find their FREEDOM, too. She teaches women how to find FOOD freedom through FITNESS. There is FREEDOM in TRANSORMATION!

After working two years as a personal trainer for a local gym, Torri knew it was time she followed her vision and started her own business fitness business.

In 2022, HighSoul Fitness LLC was born. Torri now operates her own studio gym. While all client goals are different, the common denominator is “better”. She helps her clients discover and unlock their potential, while dismantling behaviors no longer serving them. Torri will tell you, her addictions have forged this road for her, to show others IT can be done, and “you are

WAY more powerful than you know! There is FREEDOM through Fitness, as long as you are WILLING to change the story you tell yourself.”
