About Heather

Defiant Fitness founder, Heather LaFond, is passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle and being a role model for those around her. After having over-come depression, alcoholism, and an eating disorder to tackle a 130 lb weight-loss, she discovered her passion to lead others through a lifestyle improvement process.

Defiant Fitness was founded in 2012 with the mission of guiding those who struggle with their physical and emotional health towards a happier, healthier lifestyle. Defiant Fitness creates an environment and experience that supports and encourages healthy change.

Defiant Fitness is re-defining fitness on the lake-shore! Heather's method of training involves not only the physical aspect, but nutritional and emotional components as well. Your metabolism, mental state of being, and physiology is as unique as your story! Heather prides herself on recognizing each client’s uniqueness by leading them through a personalized life-improvement experience. It is amazing to witness others achieve what they once thought impossible! Experience the Defiant Fitness method for yourself!

After struggling with depression and my weight for years, I finally found the strength to fight for my health and happiness when a close friend of mine passed away in a car accident. I was over 300 lbs at my heaviest. I understand what it is like to feel hopeless. I believe it is my purpose to help guide others towards taking responsibility for their health. If I can do it, so can you! Get fit... I DARE you!

I have a B.S. in Human Biology with an emphasis in Exercise Science from UW-Green Bay. I am also an ACSM certified personal trainer and have over 7 years of experience working with all types of individuals (young, middle age, older active population) and all types of goals (weight-loss, toning, muscle gain). In addition, I am a Precision Nutrition Level 1 coach, certified Piloxing Barre, Piloxing Knockout, & Piloxing SSP instructor, SCW certified kettlebell instructor and have 4 years experience teaching & designing cardio-kickboxing programs.

About the lesson

Prior to working with a new client, I require a consultation. Consultations are complimentary sessions where goals, exercise history, nutrition and other relevant information is discussed. The consultation helps me to guide a potential client towards the types of services that would best allow them to be successful.

I have worked with young, middle aged, older active individuals, beginners, intermediate and advanced fitness levels. My clients all have different goals from weight-loss, and toning to muscle gain. I have worked with clients with various injuries and issues some examples include but are not limited to cerebral palsy, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hernias, mastectomies, spinal injuries, scoliosis, knee injuries, muscular imbalances, pcos and more!

When choosing to work with a fitness professional, be sure to do your research. There are a lot of individuals out there who call themselves personal trainers and do not carry a certification. Not all certifications are created equal. Always be sure to ask a potential trainer what their experience is and where they were certified. Any true fitness professional will gladly answer your questions. You should feel confident and comfortable with the trainer you choose.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your goal?

How long, realistically, will it take you to achieve your goal?

How much time are you willing to dedicate towards achieving your goal?

Are you willing to travel if a professional cannot come to you? (If not, you may be able to work with a fitness professional remotely)

Are you willing to make some sacrifices to achieve your goal?

How important is it that you achieve your goal?

What are the negative consequences (ie. health-wise, lifestyle, energy, confidence, family life) if you do not achieve your goal?

How will your life be better once your achieve your goal? What will you be able to accomplish when you are successful?
