“If you want something then work for it – believe that you can do it!”

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: CHLOE CLEVENGER

The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others. We are made up of a community of athletes who were inspired by the cheer sport and went for it!

Our brand ambassadors have all become cheer athletes for many different reasons, and each story is different from the next. One ambassador shared with us when she first became inspired by cheerleading and why she was driven to fulfill her cheer goals. We can all definitely relate to her wise and encouraging words, and we are proud to share with you this Ambassador of the Week Feature with Chloe Clevenger.

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

When I was three years old my favorite movie was High School Musical. I enjoyed watching the main characters sing and dance, but my favorite part was the cheerleaders. Even though they were only in the ending of the movie, I knew that I wanted to be one. I talked to my parents about it and they signed me up for a cheer team.

At first I was not very good at all, but after some hard work and practice I got better. That year my goal was to get my cartwheel, then the next year my goal was to get my back handspring. No matter how hard I worked I could not stop bending my arms, but I didn’t give up. I came to the gym outside of practice and worked every week to get it. Finally one day at tumbling class it happened. I didn’t bend my arms! I worked so hard and my parents even bribed me, but when I did it I forgot all about that.

From the first day of cheer to present day, I never quit working on new skills. Most importantly, I never give up!

Sometimes things don’t come easy, but you can’t give up! You have to keep trying and remember to never give up. If you want something, then work for it and believe that you can do it!

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

Being an ambassador helped me become a leader, build my confidence and to keep working and staying fit. I have always been shy, but now I feel that I can share stretching and fit tips with my friends and teammates. I also feel the sudden urge to keep working out, and I believe that part of this is because of the motivation I get from the CHEERFIT family.

WHAT NEW OPPORTUNITIES HAS BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR OPENED UP FOR YOU? 

One new opportunity that I have is the chance to be an ambassador model. I also have more stretch and fitness tips to share with my friends and teammates!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I love being an ambassador for cheerFIT! My favorite part of being an ambassador is having a group of amazing people there for me.

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I have been cheering in competitions both as an Allstar and recreation cheerleader since I was 3, and I think I was 8 or 9 when I choreographed a routine for my current town’s Cubs football cheerleaders. I also choreographed a routine last year for Sacred Heart school’s basketball cheerleaders.

Last year, I started coaching this amazing group of special needs kids, most of them older than me, and that is by far my passion! Sparks is a special needs competition team that travels NJ performing at competitions. I choreograph the routines, pick the 8 counts of songs, pick transition words teach and perform with them!

It’s a rewarding experience for me because cheer is my passion and Sparks competitive special needs cheerleaders are my life!

We also give back by doing community service. This year we are affiliating and hosting a band-aid drive and a food drive for HUMC Tomorrow’s Children, a town clean up in the town we practice in, and Sacred Heart church food drive.

I also started a special needs beach ball dancercise class and a special needs track team! Cheerleading has changed my life and I hope I can help change our special needs cheerleaders lives.

I am so excited and honored to be a CHEERFIT ambassador and I plan on helping my team become healthy through fitness and nutrition thanks to CHEERFIT! ❤️

We are made up of a community of driven and educated motivators who constantly strive to see the best in others. We are honored to have a handful of coaches and personal trainers who pride themselves in watching others achieve their fitness goals, land their back tuck, or finally get their “scorpion”.

Our cheerFIT brand ambassadors come from around the world – many have had very different lifestyles prior to getting involved with fitness or cheerleading in general. Sometimes life events cause us to reflect and move forward and see things in a whole new light. Nathan, a coach and personal trainer, shared with us his extremely moving story and what motivates him to help others physically and mentally, turn a bad day into a better day. We are proud to share with you this week’s Ambassador of the Week Feature with Nathan Forsythe.

CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I became a hospital corpsman for the US NAVY right after my little sister passed from a 4 wheeler wreck two days after her 13th birthday. That day I decided that I would help everyone I can and always smile and act goofy the way she always did.

My 8 years in the Navy working at the VA with vets and seeing men and women with lost limbs push and work harder than most, solidified my resolve to not take my body for granted.

With all that said my favorite piece of advice my mentor ever told me was to greet everyone you meet with a smile and a positive attitude. You never know what kind of day someone is having and you just might be the only reason for that person to smile that day.

–cheerFIT Ambassador Nathan Forsythe

 

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?

Being an ambassador has helped me reach out to more of my students to reach their fitness goals and even create a few sparks for a few others. I’ve been a certified personal trainer with ISTA for 6 months now, but it’s something about the title of being an ambassador the kids look up to.

WHAT NEW OPPORTUNITIES HAS BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR OPENED UP FOR YOU? 

My mentor once told me, “A persons name is everything, so what do you want to come to mind when someone hears your name?” Joining the cheerFIT team has helped with getting my name out there more and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with anyone that asks and I believe you can learn something from everyone you meet, so my ears are always open as well!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

My favorite part about being a cheerFIT ambassador would for sure have to be the title. Being from a small gym out of Tennessee and being able to say I am an ambassador for cheerFIT shows all of my students they too can do something great, and I am big about leading by example!

FUN FACT: WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

Being a coach I keep glitter spray, tape, and ice packs.

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:

“Focus and Stay Positive”

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: ADAELIA HUFFMAN

Our cheerFIT Ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share the passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others. We know our community is made up of amazing people from all over the world . . .some of our amazing ambassadors also come from military families. We learned that while many ambassadors are living the cheerFIT lifestyle and managing the craziness of everyday life, they are also missing a loved one overseas.

This week we bring to you a special ‘military edition’ and get to know Adaelia. She shares with us why she loves being a part of the cheerFIT family and how she gets motivated. We are proud to announce the first ‘military edition’, ‘Ambassador of the Week’ feature with Adaelia Huffman!

SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY!

I am a military “brat” and was born in Germany. I spent the first 7 years of my life in Germany (I even spoke more German than English before moving back to America!). Being a military family has its ups and downs, getting to travel and see different things that you probably wouldn’t get to if you weren’t living overseas. . .

. . .but then you also have to deal with your parent being deployed for a long time. That’s really hard. Especially now that I’m older and pay more attention to what’s going on in the world.

It’s nice having an amazing extended cheer “family” to reach out to if I’m having a rough day.

They always make me laugh and forget why I was feeling sad!

-cheerFIT Ambassador, Adaelia Huffman

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE?

“You can dream, create, design, and build the most wonderful (routine) in the world…but it requires (family) to make the dream a reality” (edited a little from Walt Disney)

BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR HAS HELPED ME . . .

. . .focus and helps me stay positive! Keeping track of my progress and seeing the results on paper is great!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

It’s definitely worth it! The cheerFIT family is a warm, welcoming family! They encourage you, answer your questions and help you out if you need it!

Thank you Adaelia for sharing your journey with us! We are thrilled that the cheerFIT community can get you and other ambassadors from across the globe in touch – it’s the ultimate support system, especially because you all have a passion for cheer! Keep us updated on your traveling adventures and always stay #cheerFIT strong!

“Be Happy”

CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: ANGEL CARTER

Our cheerFIT Ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others. We have some pretty amazing people. Many of our ambassadors were chosen not only because they are athletes – they also have a drive to bring positive messages to the people they meet and those following them on social media!

If you’re having a bad day, always remind yourself that we have SO many great things in life to be thankful for. We had a smile on our face reading this week’s story of how one ambassador wanted to spread happiness amongst her peers. We are “happy” to share with you this ‘Ambassador of the Week’ feature with Angel Carter.

INSPIRE US! HOW HAVE YOU HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOUR COMMUNITY?

I started a campaign called BE HAPPY . . .I took some money I had earned and bought rubber bracelets with BE HAPPY printed on them and asked people to wear them. Whenever they catch themselves complaining or being negative, they have to take one off, say something positive and switch arms.

The object is to leave them on the same arm as long as you can as a reminder of how lucky we all are!

It isn’t as easy as it sounds . . .

 

– cheerFIT Ambassador, Angel Carter
