About
My name is Hillary, and I'm the owner of EmpowerHerbyHillary.
I used to be a "cardio bunny". The stair master, treadmill, and elliptical were my favorite machines, and I'd use them all in a single gym session (in that order). The weight section intimidated me beyond belief. I didn't know what to do or where to start. When the world shut down in 2020, I didn't have access to cardio machines anymore. Going for long runs bored me, so I bought my first pair of dumbbells, and they were only 3lbs. That's where my strength journey started. I became a NASM certified personal trainer in 2025, and began working on building my company, EmpowerHerbyHillary.
I created an 8 week program that progresses from bodyweight exercises, to resistance bands, to dumbbells. My program is designed for women like me in mind. I'm speaking to the women that want to gain strength but have zero idea where to begin.
I help women realize that being strong is more valuable than just being skinny.
My 8 week program includes:
✅ 3 structured workouts per week
✅1 hour video call/check-in per week (8 total)
✅ Accountability through emails and/or texts.
✅Help with general nutrition
I can't wait to train with you!

Eight weeks ago, I signed up for Coach Hillary's program because I knew I wanted more consistency in my fitness routine. I had recently started running to train for my first 5K, but I hadn't stepped foot in a gym in quite some time. I've always cared about my health and enjoyed cooking balanced meals, but I realized I wasn't properly fueling my body for the amount of activity I was doing. I was unintentionally undereating and eventually ended up at the doctor's office because I was dehydrated and had lost my appetite. I knew something needed to change, but I wasn't sure where to start.
Looking back now, I can honestly say this program came into my life at exactly the right time.
This was the first time I had the structure and accountability to build a consistent routine and actually stick with it from beginning to end. Week by week, I learned how to better fuel my body, prioritize protein, stay hydrated, and incorporate strength training into my routine. Tracking my meals and water intake was completely new to me, but it quickly became one of the most eye-opening parts of the program. Instead of guessing whether I was eating enough, I finally had a better understanding of what my body needed to support my goals.
One of the things I appreciated most was Coach Hillary's approach. Every week we met virtually, and she made our check-ins easy to schedule and something I genuinely looked forward to. During each meeting, I completed a questionnaire about how the previous week had gone, and she always took the time to celebrate my progress, answer my questions, and help me work through any challenges. She created an environment where I felt supported, encouraged, and never judged.
The workouts themselves were approachable, well organized, and easy to follow. Coach Hillary demonstrated every exercise, explained proper form, and always offered modifications when needed. The workout guide was simple to navigate, and having clear instructions for each workout gave me the confidence to complete each workout at home or at the gym.
What surprised me most was how much this program impacted my mindset. I expected to become physically stronger, but I didn't expect to feel so much more confident and capable. I found myself looking forward to my workouts instead of dreading them. Throughout the program, Coach Hillary also checked in with encouraging messages that kept me accountable and motivated, especially on the days when life got busy.
When I think about what I gained from these eight weeks, it goes far beyond completing a workout program. I built a routine that feels sustainable, learned how to better fuel my body, and gained the confidence to keep showing up for myself. Most importantly, I proved to myself that I could stay consistent and follow through on a goal I set for myself.
If you're looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success, I can't recommend Coach Hillary enough. She doesn't just create workout plans—she helps you build habits that fit your lifestyle and gives you the tools and confidence to keep going long after the program ends.

Hillary is an amazing trainer with a wide knowledge of workout exercises and plans for people in any stage of their fitness journey. The value she is able to bring with her plans, the calls to hold you accountable, but most importantly it’s her positive attitude and excitement in her communication as she checks in to see her clients’ progress on their fitness journey. Aside from that her level of professionalism is second to none. Let’s be honest especially when it comes to fitness - confidence is always what is lacking for us and she helps you get started by checking all egos at the door. She has the knowledge to help you improve, the attitude to help you maintain it, and the communication to make sure you found an individual process that works for you.
