Functional Health and Fitness Program in Southern Illinois

Essentially Fit for Life helps clients fall in love with fitness, learn to crave foods that heal, and make daily decisions that lead to a healthy lifestyle and a more fulfilled body and soul.

No individual is the same and for that reason, a personalized plan is carefully constructed for each individual client.

Hello! I’m Lindsey Atkins.

I am the founder of Essentially Fit for Life. I’m also the mom to FOUR sweet girls (who sometimes drive me crazy) and the wife of the man who takes care of all of us. I love being outside, staying active and chasing my daughters around. I am a runner at heart and am totally obsessed with “staying in shape”. I’m passionate about being healthy and raising my family in the same way. I love the fact that we are able to care for ourselves, for the most part, with God’s gifts of plant foods, plant medicine, and the ability to move our bodies.

I am a certified personal trainer with vast knowledge in functional nutrition. For over 20 years, I’ve helped friends, family, and even strangers stay fit and offered general nutritional advice. For over 8 years, I have utilized essential oils and non-toxic products to allow my body to function at its highest level possible. As a mom, I know how high the mountain can look when you are ready to take the plunge and get your health back on track. I’m excited to partner up and launch you into health and wellness!

Integrated Approach

I feel that most people thrive on an integrated approach to fitness. Stacking habits and building on the basic foundation of mobility and flexibility is where we begin. An integrated fitness training system is based on scientific methods and principles and is highly adaptable to all levels of training. Beginning with mobility, core strength, and stability will set you up for success when incorporating cardio, balance, plyometric and agility, and resistance training no matter what your personal goals may be.
