Meet Alli Vasquez | Wife, Mom of 4, author, inspirational speaker, Fit to Live Fully (co owner), Fitness/Health and Wellness Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alli Vasquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alli, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
At Fit to Live Fully, our goal is to empower girls and women through a multifaceted approach aimed at fostering personal growth, spiritual enrichment and community connection. Our mission is to encourage with testimonies, equip with The Word and ultimately leave you inspired to live in such a way that leads to life in overflow. Life in overflow comes from the scriptural promise of abundance and fulfillment found in John 10:10. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 We believe in equipping individuals with the tools and inspiration needed to lead lives of purpose and overflow.

Central to our mission is the belief that true peace, contentment and satisfaction are found in Jesus. Through our podcasts (Fit to Live Fully Faithful Conversations), live gatherings, online resources and courses we seek to provide a platform for women of all ages and backgrounds to dive deeper into their faith!

Our quarterly gatherings serve as a cornerstone of our community-building efforts, offering a space for face-to-face connection, encouragement and unity. In a world where isolation and disconnection are all too common, we strive to create an environment where women can uplift, support and celebrate one another on their journey of faith and personal growth.

We firmly believe that when individuals focus on nurturing their own hearts and pursuing growth in mind, body and soul they become better equipped to positively impact the world around them. Through our business and ministry we aim to provide the spiritual nourishment, mental and physical motivation and the support needed for girls and women to grow deep roots of faith; in a body that is strong and mind that is energized.

Ultimately our goal is simple yet profound: to point people to Jesus. By creating a nurturing and supportive community grounded in faith and love. We hope to be a beacon of hope and light in the world that is in desperate need of both. Together we are better and when we link arms with one another and fix our eyes on Jesus, making Him the center of all things; we are set to better serve our communities, our city, our world!!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
With 22 years of experience in the fitness industry, my journey has been nothing short of amazing! I began with building teams in the group fitness studios, to landing in owning a CrossFit business. My passion for movement and people has been unwavering! I thought I would be solely in fitness for the rest of my life. But God, had a different plan. We would discover our son had special needs, crazy enough God had already called me to sell the business to be at home. I would shift focus from constantly pouring out in the community to spending time at home with our children. God would meet me there. While I wasn’t pursuing fitness full time any more; He would have me write and publish a devotional, begin motivationally speaking and launching my own fitness format. This was a period of reflection and growth that would lay the foundation of what would eventually become Fit to Live Fully.

Currently, I am a Fitness/Health and Wellness Coach, author, motivational speaker and lover of Jesus! My mission is to inspire spiritual and physical growth in others. Through speaking engagements, youth groups and small group sessions I intend to spread a message of hope, possibility and faith!

Fit to Live Fully is the culmination of our passion of people and desire to promote holistic wellness. What sets us apart is our multigenerational approach, welcoming girls and women of all ages and stages in their physical and spiritual journey. Covering mind, body and soul wellness, the business strives to create the most optimal version of oneself recognizing that growth is a lifelong journey. We pray that when you journey with us, it is about lifestyle improvement! We are in a constant state of becoming! Mind, body and soul. Of course, we are better together!

Walking in obedience to God’s call to start this business was the easy part. Being patient in the process and trusting His timing to go and grow has been hard! Our hearts are to reach deep in the community, potentially all over the world! To be a source of light for as many as we can is the goal. God has a plan and we are leaning into Him to trust Him every step of the way!

For me, it was never just about fitness in my career; but rather staying in line with my personal mission; radically loving people and living in such a way that draws others closer to Jesus. With Fit to Live Fully we also hope to inspire others to walk in their God-given identity and to discover, unleash and pursue their God-given mission knowing that with God the possibilities are endless!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
For me happiness lies in the simple pleasures of life. A typical day with a visitor may look like this: we would begin on my back porch, a tranquil oasis which resembles a resort! With coffee in our hands and hearts open to good conversation we would dive in to our Bibles and have meaningful discussions centered around Jesus!

Next Stop: my garage gym or Lifetime Fitness Missouri City, where I currently teach! An amazing workout, maybe a class, some time relaxing in the sauna would leave us energized and ready to take on the day! I do love the hot room, so Bikram Yoga Katy would be on the agenda too!

Refueling at Local Table with fresh food would be a must! We would follow that up with some time at Lululemon…my ‘go to’ spot for all of my workout gear!

There is nothing like sunshine! If you know me you know I love outdoors! So a walk and time by the pool is a must! Those types of things just nourish my soul!

For a week long stay, we would seize the chance to give back through service opportunities. The Hangar Unity Center in Brookshire is my favorite spot!

Of course a visit to our church Waypoint Church would be on the menu.

Throughout that week we would hit up Anthonie’s in Fulshear, this is a perfect end to a perfect day! With its inviting ambiance and delicious food, it is a place where memories are made.

If there is a worship night in town, we are there! We have been attending Gatherhouse Worship nights once a month which leave you with hearts lifted and spirit renewed. So good!

It is simple. It is moving your body, getting out in nature, enjoying good fresh foods..connecting to Him and connecting our hearts to one another through it all… nothing better.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
As I reflect on the journey that led to the creation of Fit to Live Fully, I am filled with gratitude and awe at the way God has orchestrated every step. For me, this endeavor is not just a business venture; it is an act of obedience to the call that God has placed on my heart. For years, I have been blessed with opportunities to speak, teach and mentor to women and teens. It was during a profound experience at a Gutsy Faith gathering that God ignited a new vision within me, prompting me to reach out to Cara Newsome , who would become my ministry and business partner in this inspiring venture.

I have been surrounded by a community of incredible women and teen girls whose faith and leadership have inspired and fueled my own passion. Andrea Portilla is one who stands out as the one who sparked a flame within me to begin the journey of writing and speaking.

God has also blessed me with countless opportunities to mentor and do life with teen girls. This has allowed me to step into the fullness of my kingdom identity as a mentor, motivator and encourager. Their presence in my life has been a constant reminder of the transformative power of walking in obedience to all He calls you to. Doing life with these girls have prompted many of the topics we have discussed on our podcast.

Above all, I am deeply grateful for my husband, children and mother for the unwavering support they bring behind the scenes! Their encouragement, prayers and even the ways they lovingly challenge me have propelled me forward reminding me of the importance of staying rooted in faith and obedience. All glory to God!
