Today we’d like to introduce you to Alondra Mendoza.
Hi alondra, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey into fitness wasn’t planned , It was personal. After having my first child, I struggled with postpartum depression. I didn’t recognize myself anymore! Physically, emotionally, or mentally. I felt lost, disconnected and unhappy with where I was.
To feel better I started working out at my mother n laws nutrition club. Those small sessions in the beginning were never about becoming a coach, they were about healing. But she saw something in me that I yet didn’t see myself. She encouraged me to start teaching. I was new, I was shy, I didn’t think i was ready.
To my surprise, the women in the class loved it and they would constantly ask me to teach. The way they believed in me gave me strength I didn’t know I had. I kept showing up, kept pushing forward and little by little I reached my goal.
Six years later. I’m proud to say I’m a certified fitness coach in the community that raised me, Pleasant Grove, Dallas Tx. I Own A nutrition shop in my community where I offer fitdance and bootcamp classes. I started this journey feeling lost and unsure of myself and now I’m blessed to help my girls find their strength just like I found mine.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, but i wouldn’t change it for anything. i was only 22 when I took a leap of faith and started my own business all while being a young mom . There were moments of self-doubt, especially when things didn’t go as planned or when support was scarce. Finding the balance between building a business, being a present parent and staying mentally strong was one of the biggest challenges. But throughout persistence, faith, and learning from every setback. Every obstacle became a lesson, and those hard moments shaped the resilience I carry with me today .
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

A space where health, joy, and resilience come together. Sometimes I step back and look at this community and it makes my heart full and content.

My greatest joy is watching someone walk in searching for strenght and motivation and walk out glowing with confidence .

Any big plans?
My plan for the future is to expand into a bigger, more functional space. One that reflects the heart and energy of the community we’ve built together. I want to bring in new equipment, more room for movement, and create a welcoming environment that feels like home for everyone that walks in. This isn’t just about growing a business, is about giving back to the people who’ve shown up, supported and believed in me from day one. I see a future where our community continues to thrive with even more opportunities to move, heal, connect and grow together.
