Excelling in your health journey

Alright, let’s be honest—if there’s one thing an Enneagram 3 thrives on, it’s winning. Known as The Achievers, you’re all about setting big goals, crushing them, and looking good while doing it. Whether it’s hitting a PR, dialing in your nutrition, or staying on top of your game mentally, you bring that unstoppable drive to everything you do. You don’t just want results—you want the best results. But here’s the thing: that high standard can sometimes lead to burnout, frustration, or chasing quick wins that don’t stick. The great news? You can take that ambition and turn it into a strategy that keeps you performing at your peak without running yourself into the ground. Let’s dive into how you can channel your drive into lasting success—because for a 3, the real flex isn’t just achieving your goals, it’s sustaining them.

Strengths

FITNESS
You're someone who thrives on setting clear goals and pushing yourself to the max. Your natural drive for achievement fuels your desire to lift heavier, run faster, and master new personal bests. Fitness, for you, isn’t just about showing up—it’s about excelling and proving what you’re capable of. The BodyByBree Program gives you the structure and accountability you need to meet your high standards, with a clear plan that keeps you progressing week after week. Knowing you’re making progress is what keeps you motivated.

📱 Within the BodyByBree App, you can track your reps and weights in detail, allowing you to outdo yourself and stay on top of your goals. (Because tracking PRs is basically your version of keeping score… and you're winning.)

🎧 To truly maximize your performance, listen to the Level Up in the Weight Room podcast episode, where Bree empowers you to refine your workout structure, align your nutrition goals and tells you how to achieve that sculpted, confident physique. It’s designed for someone like you who thrives on excellence and wants to push beyond limits to achieve measurable results.

NUTRITION
You’re not the type to do things halfway—when you commit to a plan, you’re all in, and nutrition is no different. Consistency is your strong suit, and that’s exactly what will keep you moving toward your goals. You thrive on structure and precision, making macro counting the perfect fit.  (You even weigh your spinach down to the exact gram.) With clear guidelines, you can confidently ensure your meals align with your goals while still enjoying the “macro puzzle” and finding creative ways to fit in your favorite foods.

🎧 Listen to the Macros 101 podcast that is packed with insights to elevate your nutrition game to the next level. Meal prep and pre-logging are also game-changers for someone as goal-oriented as you. By planning your week in advance, you’ll have nutritious, ready-to-go meals that fit your macros and save time during your busy days.

✏️ During Education Week, we teach strategies to make meal prep simple and effective, so it seamlessly fits into your routine.

📖 Since you are someone who thrives on feeling in control of your health, proper nutrition won’t just be a way of reaching your physique goals—it will also be a way to ensure your gut health is on point. Check out the blog, Take Control of Your Gut Health: 6 Easy Methods to Heal Your Gut, to learn simple steps to optimize digestion and support your overall wellness. Nutrition and gut health go hand in hand. Ensuring your gut is functioning optimally will support your energy and performance.

MINDFULNESS
Your strength in mindfulness lies in your ability to stay focused and driven. While others may struggle with consistency, your discipline allows you to incorporate mindfulness with purpose. For you, mindfulness isn’t just about slowing down (which we know is your absolute favorite thing to do… said no 3 ever)—it’s about strengthening your mind to support your goals. Taking a few minutes each day to refocus helps prevent burnout and keeps you pushing forward. Through our Mindful Monday series, you'll learn simple but effective mindfulness techniques that fit seamlessly into your routine, helping you stay sharp and aligned with your bigger vision.

🎧 For more insight into building a strong, focused mindset, check out the Six Principles of an Elite Mindset podcast for strategies to stay mentally resilient and at the top of your game.

📖 Additionally, explore our blog, Honing Your Intuition, to develop a deeper connection with your inner voice and ensure your decisions align with your goals and purpose.

Challenges you may face

FITNESS
Your high standards and drive for perfection can sometimes lead to all-or-nothing thinking. You push yourself hard in workouts, but when results don’t come quickly, it’s easy to feel frustrated or burned out. (Patience is a virtue… but let’s be real, it’s not your favorite workout buddy.) That’s why focusing on long-term strategies to stay energized and consistent is essential. Our Mindful Monday series provides practical techniques to help you avoid burnout and break through plateaus, ensuring sustainable progress.

🎧 If you find yourself struggling when the going gets tough, listen to the Honor the Struggle podcast to remind yourself that growth happens through challenges, and it’s okay to embrace the journey.

📖 When progress stalls, the blog Does it Feel Impossible to Lose Weight? offers actionable insights to recalibrate your approach. Since you always push yourself to the max, managing energy is key.

🥬 Instead of relying on pre-workouts to hit your PRs, try something natural like the BodyByBree Greens, which provide an energy boost without the crash.

🎧 For more tips on staying energized and maintaining intensity, tune into the the Fueling Fitness: How to Fix Fatigue After Exercising podcast.

NUTRITION
Your all-in mentality often drives you to push hard in all areas of life, and nutrition is no exception. It’s easy to fall into an all-or-nothing mindset, where one slip-up makes you feel like you’ve lost momentum and can lead to binges. (Your commitment is unshakable—right up until the bread basket arrives.) The appeal of aggressive diets or trending “quick fixes” may promise fast results, but they often lead to burnout, metabolic slowdown, and difficulty maintaining long-term progress.

🎧 Bree’s Metabolic Adaptation podcast explains how fueling your body the right way—with balanced macros instead of extreme cuts—can help you work smarter, not harder. This episode empowers you to make strategic decisions that support both your performance and lasting success.

🎧 When stress hits, do you find yourself raiding the fridge or finishing a pint of ice cream in one sitting? If food feels like both the solution and the problem, you’re not alone. The How to Overcome Stress and Emotional Eating and the 4 Steps to Overcome Binge Eating podcasts offer tools to help you manage these feelings and build a healthier relationship with food.

MINDFULNESS
Your drive to succeed can make it easy to get caught up in measuring your worth through visible outcomes. When progress isn’t immediate, frustration can set in, leading to burnout or feelings of inadequacy. Instead, focus on building a balanced, sustainable lifestyle that prioritizes your emotional well-being alongside physical results.  (Turns out, “being enough” isn’t something you can check off your to-do list—but like it or not, you’re already winning at it.)

📱 We emphasize biofeedback check-ins to evaluate more than just physical changes—looking at energy, sleep, digestion, and stress ensures your efforts align with your long-term goals.

🎧 If frustrations arise, listen to the Healing Your Relationship with the Scale podcast, which shifts the focus from numbers to habits and feelings.

🧘‍♀️ Tools like the Detaching Your Worth from Your Body Guided Meditation and our Mindful Monday series help release external pressures and reconnect you with inner well-being.

How to succeed

FITNESS
Your competitive edge and drive to achieve measurable results push you to constantly strive for personal bests in every workout. Whether you're lifting heavier, running faster, or perfecting a new move, you thrive on improvement and seeing results. To keep pushing your limits and supporting your progress, how you fuel your body before and after your workouts matters.

💪 While pre-workout nutrition is essential, post-workout recovery is just as critical. (Because nothing humbles a PR faster than realizing your greatest challenge now is sitting down without wincing.) Protein plays a vital role in muscle repair and growth, making it key to hitting your goals. Incorporating a high-protein snack, like a protein shake, into your post-workout routine will help your muscles recover faster, so you're ready to tackle your next challenge.

📖 For practical guidance on staying consistent with your protein intake, check out our blog Mastering Your Macros: Hitting Your Protein Goals. You'll find actionable tips to stay on track with your nutrition.

📖 Need ideas for easy post-workout options? Explore our Protein Shake Recipes and Quick & Easy High Protein Snacks blogs for delicious ways to support muscle recovery while fueling your ambition to break more PRs.

NUTRITION
Your dedication to reaching your goals makes you great at sticking to a nutrition plan, even if that means keeping meals simple and repetitive. You know that consistency is key, so you’re often willing to repeat meals for the sake of efficiency and progress. While this commitment helps you stay on track, it can sometimes lead to boredom, tempting you to indulge in comfort foods or splurge when eating out. (There’s efficiency… and then there’s eating the same meal so often that a fossilized Skittle from your kid’s car seat starts calling your name.) To prevent this, explore ways to add variety and flavor to your meals. Incorporating new and exciting recipes can help keep you engaged and aligned with your goals without feeling restricted.

👩‍🍳 Recipes from our Nourish collection, which are already aligned with your macros, make it easy to introduce variety while minimizing prep time.

MINDFULNESS
For you, it’s easy to get caught up in constant action, always pushing forward. But true success isn’t just about doing more—it comes when you make space to slow down and recharge. (Because “rest” and “failure” aren’t synonyms—no matter what your overachiever brain keeps whispering at 2 AM.) But here’s the thing: recovery isn’t weakness—it’s strategy.

🎧 As Bree highlights in her podcast 5 Things I Would Never Do As A Personal Trainer, taking time for rest and participating in mindfulness activities is critical for staying grounded and balanced. During our Mindful Monday series, you’ll learn quick but effective techniques to slow down and reset.

🧘‍♀️ Our Grounding Meditation for Beginners offers an 8-minute break to bring calm and clarity to even the busiest days, while the
❤️ FREE BodyByBree Affirmations can help elevate your mindset in just a few moments.

😴 Since a busy mind can make restful sleep a challenge, try our Guided Sleep Meditation to help you unwind and ease into deep, restorative sleep. Embracing mindfulness will give you the edge to maintain your momentum while avoiding burnout, ensuring that your goals are achieved with balance and clarity.

Your journey to thriving in fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness is all about optimizing your strengths—channeling your ambition into habits that keep you progressing without burnout. Success for you isn’t just about hitting goals; it’s about building a lifestyle that matches your drive for excellence while allowing space for balance. By structuring your plan with intention, tracking your progress, and learning to celebrate both the big wins and small victories, you’ll create lasting momentum. You’re ready to thrive! Start now with the BodyByBree app, commit to your plan, and push toward the next level—because your best is still ahead.
