About Me

My name is Requia Binion and I am the owner of Requia Monae Fitness. My fitness journey began several years ago. 

I had just turned 30 years old and there wasn't a happy bone in my body. I was in a relationship that was causing me stress and anxiety. I eased my mind with alcohol and party drugs, but no matter what I did to "feel good" I still felt empty.

My mind was consumed with negative thoughts.

“What was I doing with my life?”
“What did I have to show at 30?”

Unable to think of one positive thought, I decided then and there, that something needed to be done. I needed change or I was going to head into a lifetime of regret.

Instead of using what was familiar to me to help ease the pain, I decided to get a gym membership. I came across some bikini competitors on social media  and it instantly lit a fire in me. I went to my local gym, signed up, lifted some heavy weight and the rest is history!

Fast forward today, I have been able to turn my journey into a passion! I am currently a competitive bodybuilder, I hold SIX certifications through NASM (Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Sports Performance Enhancer, Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, Certified Weight Loss Specialist, Certified Stretch and Flexibility Coach and Certified Women’s Fitness Specialist), and I am the owner of F*CK YOU! Women Lift Too!™️, a fitness apparel dedicated to and inspired by female Body Builders, Cross Fitters, Power Lifters and any other female who isn’t afraid of a little muscle! @fuwomenlifttoo

Fitness has really become my life and I am forever grateful for the journey!

I truly enjoy helping women and men get into the best shapes of their life, physically and mentally 🙂
