Through my own journey of life experiences, goals crushed, and obstacles faced, I’ve felt the same ups and downs you have. That’s why my mission is to empower women, like you, to make the choice to be courageous, find your purpose, and unapologetically go after your dreams and goals.
You deserve to feel good in your skin, confident of your abilities, and unleash your potential. With health & wellness as a foundation, I build your mind, strengthen your body, and empower you to be a more effective leader so you can clear your own path to success. I call it: Fearless Living for Maximum Happiness.

HI, I'M SUMMER MONTABONE!
I knew I was going to have to dig deep and use the same strong belief and mindset skills I had learned as a pro athlete, world class coach, and successful business owner to embark on this new journey of self care to regain control of my health & happiness.
Transformation to regain control of my life, health, & happiness, came when I understood that I needed to heal my whole self: mind, spirit, and body. I became a fanatical study in self development working with doctors, counselors, mentors, and coaches.
I had no desire to exercise or even enjoy life.
In 2004, I decided to go to Fitness Nationals. I hired the right coaches, did the work, adopted a champion mindset, and WON. I became a National Champion and Pro Athlete, earning a feature in Fitness RX for Women Magazine. In 2011, I had my first child and battled postpartum depression & anxiety. Add on the loss of my mom, sleep deprivation, lack of support, and hormones that landed me in the hospital for a week...
The Full Story
and now it’s your turn.
I'VE HELPED THOUSANDS OF WOMEN DO IT,
I’ve overcome many challenges in life (trauma survivor, loss of a parent, postpartum depression & anxiety, weight gain, cancer scare & hysterectomy). I’m here to be a voice for women suffering in silence. I believe most of us have been conditioned to be sick, stuck, and hurt. It’s time to break out of that mindset and live life fearlessly. You can achieve health & happiness in any season of life.
I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE FACED WITH ADVERSITY.
When I found a woman crying in my fitness studio because she hadn't won a trophy yet, I knew that my purpose was for something greater. I decided that instead of using my gifts to help women win trophies, I wanted to empower them to become their own personal champions and CEOs of their own lives! So I created my Fearless Framework to empower women to get into fighting shape, invest in their mental & physical health, and put the time and resources to do the deeper work of personal development.
I prefer ice tea and water over coffee
Find me traveling to sunny places with palm trees & beaches
Fall hiking sprees with the family are a must every year
While I ran track as a sprinter in college, I don’t run 5ks or long-distance runs
Some days you’ll see me in sweats & a mom bun, others in a blazer or dressed to the nines
I've been married since 1999, we have 2 very active daughters born in 2011, 2014, and we have 2 cats and several fish
