The Vision

HERFirst Collective was founded in 2025 with the mission to create a community of women who empower other women. Through this initiative, we want to help women build confidence in themselves; enhance their physical, mental, and emotional health; and be part of a community of women who want to see other women thrive.

No matter the age, we want women to unite. HERFirst Collective allows us to do just that. Whether you're a busy mom, a college student, newly retired, or simply a woman, we want to discover ways you can prioritize your well-being.

Through events, sessions, conversations, and expert advice, we are creating a movement of women on a journey to put HERFirst.

Meet The Founder

Courtney Halbig is a passionate certified personal trainer, women’s health specialist, and Zumba Instructor. She's on a mission to make fitness more accessible, less toxic, and more empathetic, specifically for women, but for all.

With a deep commitment to empowering women through movement, nutrition, and self-love, Courtney creates a welcoming space for all fitness levels. Her approach goes beyond workouts—she helps women build confidence, heal their relationships with exercise, and embrace sustainable, joyful movement.

Through HERFirst Collective, Courtney is dedicated to making fitness a tool for empowerment rather than a source of pressure–– a supportive community that celebrates every step of the journey.
