Meet the Leader: Cory - Run Talk Run Virgina

Virginia born and raised. I grew up with major depression and social anxiety and symptoms began to intensify throughout college, where I had my breaking point. Got into fitness heavily in college to improve my self esteem. Became a personal trainer after college to influence and guide others towards a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.

Wanted to start Run Talk Run/Walk Talk Walk Virginia because I wanted to create an active safe space for friends and others either new to exercising or in need of support for the emotional and mental difficulties they are going through in life. I grew up as an athlete, so running and moving has always been second nature when it comes to physical activity and has been a great stress reliever for me to this day. Nothing feels better than getting outside on a nice sunny day and just enjoying nature!. I hope to pass on the same great feelings I experience with others who join the group!
