The famous Peloton instructor, 35, opened up about her mental health journey, following her breast cancer battle, as she proudly posted a photo of herself smiling in gym wear on Instagram.
The trainer told her followers “I LOVE THIS PHOTO” as she went on to explain the meaningful reason why in her caption.
“From dancing to Peloton, there have been a lot of shoots along the way, and it wouldn’t have been unusual for me to pick apart so many things I didn’t like about how I looked. Not anymore.”
The media personality continued: “I LOVE THIS PHOTO, and the BEST thing is that it has nothing to do with how I look.
“I felt confident on this shoot. My body and my mind have been through so much, they still are, but I had a quiet strength on this day that I’ve never had before, and that’s why I love this photo ❤️ x.”
The Peloton star began chemotherapy treatment for 12 weeks last September andcontinued to teach 3-4 Peloton classes a week, to unknowing members.
“And it wasn’t because I wanted people to say, wow, isn’t she amazing for doing this? It was because there are so many members that are going through their own struggles — and if they can make it to the bike, then so can I.”
