“Hard Work No Excuses” has been a driving motto in Richards life from a young age as she grew up in the inner city of North Philadelphia and was raised by a single mother of 6 children, Richards found her safe haven and discipline in the world of dance and fitness. This world instilled self-confidence and a “can do” mentality within and pushed her through Temple University where she graduated in 2002 with a BFA in Dance.

Richards is highly regarded not only within the fitness community nationally with her vast certifications in the industry but as a highly accomplished female business leader who has built a multi-million dollar empire ranging from a full service production company to a state of the art fitness facility along with her recently launched Do Work Method Program. In her Do Work Method Program, Richards brings to her followers and clients motivational and strategic life coaching skills to help those looking to evolve in every aspect of their life to succeed.

By growing up in an underserved community, Richards has made one of her lifelong goals to be in philanthropy by continually giving back to others in need and dedicating her time and resources to: Camden County Animal Shelter, Human Rights Campaign and the American Cancer Society.

When Richards is not motivating a client to strive for greatness or swinging kettlebells, you can catch her in Vegas or Puerto Rico, reading 48 Laws of Power or watching Cartoon Network while snacking on some brownies (probably protein brownies).
