The team at TRU Supplements is proud to announce that weāve joined forces with Giselle Rodriguez, also known as @Gymselle_, as the newest TRU athlete!Ā
Giselle graced us with her presence in Los Angeles for a weekend of community this month, and weāre still glowing with excitement for this collaboration. It was an honor to welcome Giselle to the West Coast and experience her radiant energy in person. Her heart for her community and determination to inspire and uplift those around her is contagious.Ā
We are also thrilled to unveil Giselleās hand-picked bundle. We bring you; The Muscle Mami Bundle: a personalized collection of TRU Supplements that has helped her reach her fitness goals, making her stronger and more confident than ever.
Some of Giselleās fitness goals were to improve her performance in the gym, crush her workouts with plenty of energy, meet her protein requirements and balance her hormones. With the help of the Muscle Mami Bundle, a supportive community behind her, and a heart full of strength and determination, Giselle has soared above and beyond her goals, and you can too!
The Muscle Mami Bundle includes:
-
TRU Protein

āBeing a Muscle Mami is feeling strong, feeling confident, being positive, being someone that wants to encourage others in the room. Itās a state of mind.ā
āTo be a Muscle Mami, it can be anyone. Youāre picking up a weight and youāre feeling confident and strong in your body, youāre a Muscle Mami. As long as youāre able to lift that weight and we can hype each other up, you're immediately a Muscle Mami in my mind.ā
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Giselle and hearing about what led her to become an international role model for fitness, inspiring people of all ages and from all walks of life to create a healthy lifestyle for themselves. We love Giselleās confidence and steadfast desire to lift up others around her, and we canāt wait for you to fall in love with her unwavering determination and strength too!
Join us in conversation with Giselle about her story and how TRU Supplements has improved her fitness results.Ā
What Was The Catalyst for Your Fitness Journey?
āI just decided that I needed a change in my life. I wanted to feel comfortable in my skin.ā
Giselle began her fitness transformation in college, where she became aware of weight gain from stress and overstimulation. Similar to many of us, her stress began to manifest in her body, sparking a desire for change.Ā
āI started going to the gym because I wanted to get strong. I fell in love with feeling powerful and confident in my body.ā
Giselleās perspective is what makes her so special and able to push through to success in her journey. Her accomplishments are rooted in her Faith, her family, her community and her pre-existing positive image of herself.Oftentimes women decide to make a change because they donāt like the way their body looks, and their effort comes from a negative mindset. What sets Giselle apart is her motivation that is rooted in self-love, which is why she continues to evolve and succeed with flying colors.
What Are Your Goals?
āMy goals are to look good, feel good honestly. There was a point in my life where I couldnāt even jump an inch off the floor. I could not even hang from a bar for more than 1 second.ā
āMy goal is to be able to do things that the old me couldnāt do. To push the boundaries of what people believe that women who are fat can do. A pull up, a push up; breaking the norm of what people expect plus size women to do.ā
āWhen I was bigger, a lot of people believed that because youāre big you canāt be sexy, you canāt be confident in yourself. Honestly, who cares what people think.ā
Giselle utilizes TRU Metabolism in her routine to kickstart fat loss and curb her cravings.Ā
The results are in the ingredients of TRU Metabolism. Bilberry Fruit boosts metabolism, aiding fat breakdown, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammation. Its natural compounds synergistically support efficient weight management, helping Giselle and thousands of other women achieve their fitness goals more effectively. This supplement also contains Glucuronolactone, Caffeine Anhydrous, and Methylliberine (Dynamineā¢) which team up to enhance detoxification, elevate energy levels, stimulate fat breakdown, and improve mental clarity.
What Does Being Healthy Mean to You?
āFor me, I would say that health has just been living a longer life. I want to change the norm of what the hispanic community views healthy to be.ā
Giselleās pride for her Mexican culture shines from within. Her love for her family and for her sisters is a huge part of her story. She opened up to us about the reality of hispanic culture and the normalized use of excessive oils, sugar and grease in Hispanic households. As she began her journey to a healthy lifestyle, she started to notice the unhealthy patterns ingrained in the food she grew up eating. This sparked a desire within her to cultivate awareness in her family and her community at large to consume more vegetables and less processed foods; not just so that they can be more comfortable, but so that they can live a longer life.Ā
Giselleās mission is to not only educate her family and community on how to balance their nutrition, but also to inspire the youth of her generation to release the societal pressure of unrealistic beauty standards.Ā
āThereās two sides to the spectrum. Thereās the hispanic side where weāre fed this unhealthy food and we get to this unhealthy weight, or thereās the side of this generation where everyone wants to be so skinny but they do it in the most unhealthy way. I want to find a balance for my family so that theyāre not only able to live comfortably but live a long life. I want my family there for every moment. So if you ask who I do it for, I do it for myself and for my family. I do this for my family to have a good example.ā
How has TRU helped you on your journey?
Of course the Muscle Mami Bundle has helped me so much in my training.Ā Ā
Energy
The energy has definitely helped me. Itās amped up every single workout that Iāve been on, because there are some days where I donāt have the motivation. Having an aid like energy pre-workout, I love it.
Protein
The protein! Now Iām a sweet treat person. I can easily crave an ice cream or a cookie, but to be able to have a good protein, a healthy option after my workout, amazing.
Metabolism
Oh metabolism. In the morning I take my Metabolism and Her Complete. Metabolism definitely helps me to curb those cravings in the morning because I wake up hungry. Especially when I get out of work and I go to the gym, I donāt eat after my workout, I wake up hungry. Metabolism helps curb those cravings where Iām not so much consuming unhealthy products.
Her CompleteĀ
I have really enjoyed it so far. My hormones are not out of whack, and Her has definitely helped me.
āThe Muscle Mami Bundle has helped me so much in my training and made me feel a lot more empowered. Truly, I have not only been able to see the foundation of this company, the creators behind it, but also the fact that theyāre so honest and vulnerable about what goes in the product is one of my favorite things. You donāt see that a lot in companies.ā
What does your day look like outside of the gym?
āI love community. Outside of the gym I am a part-time photography teacher. I teach pre-k through 5th grade, I teach photography to my kids. I used to live in a low income school district, and thatās where I teach now. Seeing these kids fall in love with something that they have never been exposed to, I love it.ā
āI have school from 8am - 3:30pm. During my break I run to the gym and hit either a mobility session or a cardio session. After work I go straight to the gym, hit a great workout, head home. If Iām not at home, Iām at church. Home, church, shower, bed. Iām always on the go, which is why I love having my supplements like Protein, Metabolism and HER on the go.ā
Iām a woman of God so of course God comes first in everything. Iām always in church, always in community. So Iām always talking about what God has done in my life.ā
It is a privilege to team up with Giselle and witness her change even more lives through her transformation and collaboration with TRU Supplements and TRU Training. Try out her Muscle Mami Bundle to begin your fitness journey or continue on your path with full energy and confidence and drive like Giselle's!
