Bio

Fitness has always been a part of my life.  Beginning in early childhood I participated in sports, dance, cardiovascular and weight training.  I began studying weight training (proper execution and technique) in high school, where I enrolled in both high school and college level courses.  I started with 24 hour fitness as a group exercise instructor in 2002. I currently teach bootcamp, cycle, dance, sculpt, and aqua aerobics.  I transitioned to being a personal trainer in 2007, because I realized the members in my classes would get frustrated when they hit plateaus or had challenges that spanned beyond the group exercise classes. 

In many cases, I found that members were only incorporating one aspect of fitness.  A lot of people in the gym either do cardio with no resistance training, or weight training without cardio.  Usually, something is missing, whether it’s improper stretching, lack of nutritional adjustments, etc.  As a trainer, I can take the members’ gym experience beyond the realm of the group exercise room, and actually have them understanding the 5 components of fitness.  Now they can reach their goals using a program specifically designed to the client’s individual goals with their personal limitations, needed corrections and modifications being considered.

I understand how difficult and intimidating the whole gym atmosphere can be.  I try to ease the anxiety and eliminate the intimidation aspect by making my clients feel as comfortable and knowledgeable as possible. 

When you understand what’s involved in reaching your goals, you understand that cosmetic surgery, gastric bypass surgery, lap band surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, etc. don’t have to be your first choice or only option.  Good old hard work, determination, patience, focus, and time will get you where you want to be.  Fitness is a part of life, not a quick fix.

I am currently studying to get my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology so I can continue my education and get a master’s degree to become a Physical Therapist, with an emphasis in corrective exercise.
