Maddi Macaluso is a 26-year-old graduate from Lynn University, with a Bachelors in Sports Management. Fitness has been part of her life, for as long as she can remember. Her mom was a personal trainer and aerobics teacher for 20 years and her dad played for the NBA. Growing up, she played volleyball and found that she loved the training portion more than the sport itself. Weightlifting made her feel strong and independent. However, she only knew how to do volleyball workouts so she turned to YouTube. YouTube took her down the rabbit hole of wanting to look like a bikini competitor so she became obsessed with fitness pages on Instagram, watched countless YouTube videos about “loosing fat”, and felt lost. After countless cycles of dieting, doing tons of cardio, she couldn’t take it anymore. She was underweighted, had very little muscle, constantly tired, lost her menstrual cycle, and her hair started falling out. It took her body about 2 years to fully recover from everything and today, she eats what makes her happy, doesn’t restrict, and trains to be strong. This experience taught her the importance of proper training and information. Knowledge is power!
