Get to know Elena!

Hey, guys! I want to start small and just introduce myself. I’m Elena Hancock (but my friends call me Laney). I’m a small-town girl who adores her friends and family, loves her dog, and strives to be more like Jesus every day! I attend Western Colorado University, and I’m in my second year of my major, Exercise & Sports Science (third year in school; it took me a while to find my path, haha).

I want to clarify that I’m not an influencer and don’t aspire to be one. My goal here is to let people know that becoming the best version of yourself isn’t as hard as it may seem, and it doesn’t need to be as aesthetic as today’s society often makes it out to be.

I grew up with many insecurities and self-worth doubts. I’ll spare you the details, but I will say it was a bumpy, difficult road. If you struggle with these things, I want you to know you’re not alone, and there’s a way out of feeling that way. It took me 15 years to realize there’s more to life than living in insecurity and doubt. This is why I’m creating this blog—to help people who have fallen into the same trap I did and to pull each other out of it, one step at a time!

I want Carbon Peak Training & Wellness to be more than just personal training; I want it to be filled with the little tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way, which I can share with you all to help you grow into the person God created you to be!

Carbon (haha yes, my dog's name is Carbon) and I one late July evening :)
