✨ Meet Catrena Sanders
Founder of The Fit Alchemist | Wellness Coach | Homeschool Mom | Speaker
​
My name is Catrena Sanders — born and raised in Massachusetts, now living in North Carolina. I’m a wellness coach, 6x champion bodybuilder, homeschool mom, and founder of The Fit Alchemist, a brand dedicated to transforming women’s lives through fitness, mindset, and intentional routines.
​
I’ve been in the health and fitness world for over 10 years. I fell in love with lifting weights and sculpting the body after stepping on stage for my first bodybuilding competition in 2011. But my greatest transformation came after becoming a mother in 2014. Following my son’s birth, I battled postpartum depression, and 3 years later, he was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Life became heavy. I was emotionally drained and searching for something to pull me out of that dark space.
So, I went back to the gym.
There, I found my power again. As I rebuilt my body, I also rebuilt my self-esteem, my determination, and my will to keep moving forward not only for my son but most importantly for myself. That led me to compete again — winning first place in my division in back-to-back shows and placing top 5 at Nationals. But more than the trophies, I gained a better understand of what true health and fitness means. I prioritized my mental health learning breathwork, meditation, and a whole list of tools to beat mental self doubt. I began a new mission in 2020 to help other women rediscover themselves fully with the 10 week fit alchemist program merging fitness, self care, healthy nutrition in a safe uplifting community.
​
Today, I homeschool my son, coach men and women to transform their bodies and build healthy habits. I am expanding into the corporate wellness space to help businesses create healthier, happier, and more productive teams by giving them to tools to move their bodies and prioritize their health.
​
At The Fit Alchemist, we don’t just work out — we alchemize every part of life. Through discipline, movement, and mindset, we grow and rise.
