Toni Harris
About
I’ve always been sporty, but I was shy, & lacking serious confidence growing up. I was set on joining the military to find myself, I wanted to help myself esteem so I joined the gym & started training and… I never left. I found my confidence in the gym, but it didn’t stop there. Now if I can help boost even one person’s confidence a day I will.
