Trainer Bios

Fitness has been a passion since I started running during my senior year in high school. I loved the energy and confidence I felt and, most of all, the positive changes that occurred with my body.

As I reflect on my years of fitness, I realize that it is all my life experiences that help to make me a good trainer.

¨ I know what it’s like to grow up overweight.
¨ I know what it’s like to train for events while being a mother, a wife, and while having a career.
¨ I understand the changes that occur to your body and the benefits of exercising while being pregnant.
¨ I know the frustration of having injuries and what it takes to recover.

I experience the passion, energy, and health benefits that come from being in shape because I have learned how to set a goal and accomplish it. I have trained for and competed in events ranging from 5K’s to the Ironman Triathlon to 24 hr adventure races - almost always finishing in the top 10 percent of my age group.

My fitness philosophy is simple- everyone can improve their health, appearance, and lifestyle regardless of their age, athletic ability, or medical history. I keep my clients so excited about their fitness goals that no matter what other responsibilities or obstacles surface, they stick to their program.

I make sure exercise is always fun, interesting, and something they look forward to doing. I thrive on being able to help people of all types achieve their fitness goals. I take the time to get to know my clients so I know what it will take to motivate them. My clients benefit from this passion and it helps them reach their goals.
