Anna Blackstone

Professionally.

I am a trainer, a strength and conditioning coach and a wellness educator.

In the gym I sculpt and strengthen bodies. I fulfill dreams. I push, I create and I heal. If you want to go from A-B, I’ll push you to C. I shatter the negative images and nurture positivity. You love me and you hate me. You don’t want me but you need me. You curse at me but tell me you love me. Your body quivers and your confidence soars.

I have made it my lifetime goal to learn the body through and through. I have degrees and I have certifications but the wisdom I carry comes from the coaches and physicians who have mentored me from the ground up.

“Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?” - Job

“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” - Proverbs

Personally - I am a follower of Jesus Christ. A devoted wife to my lover of 20 years. We have 3 beautiful children. We love adventures. My husband is a Mainer, so our 2nd home is the Northern Maine woods. We live on a small farm 30 miles North of Baton Rouge. We climb mountains and camp in tents “wilderness style” any chance we get but a romantic glamping experience is always welcome. An open fire and a glass of bourbon in the cold open air is LIFE. I am a very passionate person. I love hard and I love well. I am an artist at heart. My Cane Corso is my best friend. I am an old soul. I trust too quickly and don’t guard my heart. I love the thought of tradition but push too many boundaries. I dig all things modern but respect culture. I am a foodie!

All black everything, at all times. Black walls, black floors, black clothes, black flowers, black mugs, black cars, black dogs, black underwear, black shoes, black ceilings, black nail polish, black diamonds

What wearing all black reveals about your personality : People wearing all black wear it because they like it, not to impress anyone. It shows they like privacy, are secretive and like to stay detached.

What mythical creature would improve the world the most if it existed?

A garden gnome that actually gardened. So I can eat all the veggies/fruits and enjoy all the flowers/roses without ever pulling a weed.
