About Me
Hi, I’m Deridre Banks, the founder of the Fit, Faith, and Purpose 360 Total Woman Virtual Wellness Studio—where transformation isn’t just physical. It’s spiritual, emotional, and mental.
I help high-achieving women over 40 renew their minds, restore their bodies, and reclaim their purpose through faith, fitness, and fierce commitment to whole living.
Whether you’re battling burnout, buried under weight gain, navigating menopause, or just trying to find “you” again—I get it. Because I’ve been there too.
Let Me Take You Back
In 2019, I looked around at the fragments of my own life and made a decision: No more auto-pilot living. That’s when I wrote my second book—Living a Fit, Faith & Purposeful Life for Women Over 40—not because I had arrived, but because I was finally taking back control.
But life didn’t stop lifing.
In December 2023, I underwent a radical hysterectomy that thrust me into surgical menopause. Just five months later, in May 2024, I had back surgery. I was spiraling—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
Thank God for the quiet places, because in those moments, God began birthing something new in me.
Not another hustle.
Not another role to perform.
But a vision to help women like me heal and walk in wholeness.
That vision birthed my third book:
Menopause and Me: Understanding My Body and The God Who Created It—written to remind women that you are not alone on this journey.
Backstory of FFP 360 Total Woman
Funny enough, the spark came while watching an episode of My 600-lb Life. One man’s story hit me hard—not because of his weight, but because of his why.
He didn’t just want to be thinner.
He wanted to live again.
What fueled his transformation wasn’t just a meal plan. It was faith, purpose, and a deep why.
That’s when it clicked.
Everything I’ve ever taught—from my days running Love Yourself Fitness Studio to writing books and coaching—had been rooted in those same pillars.
And those are the same pillars the Proverbs 31 woman stood on. She wasn’t perfect—but she was whole. She embodied strength, wisdom, work, wellness, and worship.
That’s what I help women build today.
Who I Serve
I work with women over 40 who:
✅ Are navigating major life transitions—menopause, empty nesting, career shifts, or healing from physical or emotional pain
✅ Feel disconnected from their bodies, their calling, or their confidence
✅ Are tired of “quick fixes” and are ready for a real, sustainable path to wholeness
💡 You don’t need to become someone new. You need to reconnect with the woman you were always created to be.
