ABOUT OUR OWNER
Introducing Charity Smith, the visionary founder of Poised Fitness. Charity is a dedicated health and fitness expert and innovative entrepreneur with a diverse background in business and health and fitness.
Charity began her journey in the health industry in 2004 as a Physical Therapist Assistant and Personal Trainer, where she developed a deep understanding of human anatomy and movement mechanics.
Her interest in health led her to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science with a focus in Health & Fitness Management from Texas State University.
In 2009, Charity was selected for the prestigious Cooper Fitness Center internship, where she had the opportunity to refine her skills under the guidance of world-renowned fitness experts.
Over the years, Charity has honed her expertise as a NASM certified personal trainer, group exercise instructor and mobility specialist by working with clients from the most esteemed fitness centers in Dallas, such as Dallas Country Club, Cooper Fitness Center, and Equinox.
In 2012, shortly after the birth of her first son, partnering with the City of Frisco, TX, Charity launched PureFitMom, a stroller fitness program for moms. This innovative program empowered mothers to prioritize their health and well-being while balancing the demands of motherhood.
After deciding to put her career on hold for a few years and raise her two boys, Charity launched "A Poised Perspective" in 2018, an online health and lifestyle blog aimed at inspiring others to live their best lives.
In 2021 Charity enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become an integrative nutritionist, further expanding her repertoire of skills and knowledge.
In 2022, Charity brought Poised Fitness to the small, growing town of Gunter, Texas.
