Fueled by her success in a weight loss challenge, Anna Romero’s newfound passion for a healthy lifestyle motivated her to open her own nutrition shop in New Braunfels.

How it started

Romero said she was living an unhealthy lifestyle and was struggling with weight loss. She walked into a nutrition shop with her mom in Universal City in 2013, looking for support to lose weight.

She was impressed with the variety of healthy shakes and teas and decided to join the club’s weight loss challenge and won second place.

“I went from a size 10 to a size four,” Romero said. “I got some running shoes and never stopped.”


After running a nutrition club two years prior, Romero was motivated to start a business of her own, and opened Motivation Station in New Braunfels in 2016.

What they offer

Motivation Station features over 40 flavors of protein shakes and also offers teas, protein, iced coffees and protein-baked items like bagels, cheesecake, waffles and doughnuts.

“I love creating new recipes and adding them to the menu. I also love to make custom drinks for all my customers,” Romero said.


Romero said the protein shakes serve as meal replacements and include signature flavors like banana bread, blueberry muffin, peach mango and more. The teas are caffeinated and include vitamin B and C. All drinks can be made with collagen support, fiber, immune support and other health supplements.

Motivation Station also hosts free fitness camps with kickboxing, kettlebell training and other workout challenges.

Why it matters

Romero said she is proud of creating a safe space for new and regular customers with different health goals.


“Based on my experience, I want everyone to feel like they belong and know that it’s always possible to start a healthy lifestyle.”
