Our Story
Since 2015, I have been documenting our home improvement projects and sharing the discoveries we make along the way. What started as a simple blog about fixing up our fixer-upper has grown into something much more personal and meaningful.
A few years back, our family decided to prioritize health alongside our home projects. We discovered that renovating a house is exhausting work, and staying fit became essential. That journey led us to explore kickboxing and fitness training in ways we never expected.
Today, The Handy Homeowner is about more than just DIY tips. We share real experiences from our wellness journey, including the fitness providers and programs that have genuinely helped our family stay active and healthy.
What We Believe
Our approach to sharing fitness insights is grounded in authentic experience and evidence-based practices.
Honest Experience
Every recommendation we make comes from personal experience. We only share what has worked for our family and what we genuinely believe in.
Evidence-Based Approach
Our approach is informed by exercise science research from organizations like ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), the world's leading sports medicine organization.
Community Focus
We believe in supporting local businesses and sharing discoveries that can help other families on their wellness journeys.
Our Commitment to Quality
When we recommend a fitness provider or share insights about training programs, we do so because we have seen real results. Our family has tried various approaches to staying healthy, from home workouts to professional training facilities.
We stay current with fitness industry developments through resources from the Health & Fitness Association, the global voice of the fitness industry. This helps us provide informed perspectives on what works and what to look for in quality fitness services.
