“Hustle to Overcome Athletics LLC aims to help individuals beat their goals by overcoming barriers through fitness. These barriers could be presented as lack of familial support, diabetes, obesity, mental health, anxiety or depression,” says H20 Athletics owner Carmelia Harris.

   

In 2015, Harris decided to take control of her health. She was diagnosed with four different autoimmune diseases. Those issues prevented her from losing weight, so she had to work much harder to achieve her fitness goals. Over time, she developed a passion to use fitness to help herself and others who were struggling. She, along with her three trainers, are dedicated to helping people overcome the often-overlooked mental barriers to achieving fitness goals.
