Meet Heather Binns

Founder, CEO, and Health & Fitness Strategist of Renov8 Fitness®
A Nationally Recognized Fitness Expert with Heart and Purpose

Heather Binns is a nationally recognized fitness expert, best-selling author, wellness educator, endurance and OCR coach, competitive athlete, and a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. But more than anything, she is a woman who leads with heart, purpose, and lived experience.

Movement as a Path to Mind, Body, and Soul Alignment

Born and raised in Southern California and now located in Reno, Nevada, Heather has dedicated her life to helping others move better, feel better, and perform better by reconnecting with the athlete within. She believes fitness is not just about the body, but about awakening strength in the mind, spirit, and soul.

Creating an Inclusive and Empowering Community

At Renov8 Fitness®, Heather creates a space where every identity is welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Her mission is to help people break through self-imposed limits, rebuild trust in their bodies, and rise into their fullest and most vibrant potential.

“I want to inspire millions to reconnect with their authentic strength, rediscover the joy of movement, and embody a whole-being lifestyle that unites physical vitality, emotional and mental balance, and soulful alignment.”

From Pain to Purpose
Heather’s journey wasn’t a straight line. In her early twenties, she survived a serious accident and was later diagnosed with epilepsy. She spent years navigating medication, fear, and uncertainty. Eventually, through healing and determination, her brain retrained itself and she no longer experienced seizures.
Resilience, Healing, and the Privilege of Movement
That experience shaped her perspective on life, resilience, and the privilege of movement. She wakes up grateful every day to be alive, healthy, and able to guide others toward stronger, happier, more confident lives.
Embracing Neurodivergence and Multifaceted Identity
In recent years, Heather also discovered she is neurodivergent, which was a realization that brought clarity, self-compassion, and empowerment. Today, she embraces her multifaceted identity as a neurodivergent, bisexual, athletic, intuitive, empathetic, and strong woman. These lived experiences fuel her ability to connect deeply with others and guide them through their own healing and transformation.

Building Strength From the Ground Up

Heather launched her fitness career in 2006, starting with a small side hustle that she grew into a thriving six-figure business through persistence, compassion, and a deep desire to make a meaningful impact. Leaving her corporate job was a leap of faith, but also the moment she stepped fully into the work she was meant to do.

 

For Heather, fitness is not just about reps or routines. It’s about rebuilding confidence, identity, and self-worth. Many of the clients who come to Renov8 Fitness® arrive with recent or old injuries, fear of re-injury, burnout, or years of feeling disconnected from their bodies. Heather’s greatest pride is creating a community where people finally feel seen, safe, and supported.

“What I’m most proud of is the level of trust, safety, and belonging at Renov8 Fitness®. The deeper emotional work such as the healing people do behind the scenes, is the part nobody sees, but it’s the part that matters most.”
Coach, Educator, and Advocate

Heather is committed to lifelong learning. She has earned multiple degrees and numerous certifications, continually studies the latest in fitness, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle science, and has built a reputation as a highly skilled, deeply intuitive coach.

 

She is a best-selling author and Quilly Award winner for her book Results Fitness, which reached #1 on Amazon under Exercise & Fitness. Her expertise has led to appearances on KTLA Morning News, CBS Channel 8, Every Way Woman Talk Show, multiple magazines, podcasts, and even Michelob Ultra’s 2017 Super Bowl commercial.

 

As a presenter and speaker, Heather blends education with motivation, offering inspiration that resonates far beyond the gym.

Real. Grounded. Human.

Heather believes deeply in living with honesty, consistency, and joy. She is direct, compassionate, and unapologetically authentic. What you see is what you get.
 

She values balance as much as discipline. She enjoys good food, cocktails, lazy days, and moments of stillness just as much as she loves challenging athletic adventures. Her mission is to live long, live well, and help others do the same through purpose (not through perfection), self-awareness, and sustainable choices.
 

Outside of coaching, Heather is a wife, mom to an incredible daughter and stepdaughter, grandma to five lively grandchildren, and fur mom to a friendly cat named Dani. Her family inspires her to stay healthy, active, and present, and they are a big part of her “why.”
 

A Legacy of Transformation

Heather hopes her legacy is one of authenticity, empowerment, and connection. She wants to be remembered as someone who helped people believe in themselves, move with confidence, and live with intention. Someone who made others feel seen, supported, and valued.

 

Today, she leads Renov8 Fitness® with soul, alignment, and courage as she guides clients not just through health & fitness programs, but through life-changing journeys of strength, healing, and self-discovery.

 

She is doing the work she was born to do. And she’s only getting started.
