I have been involved in athletics my whole life. I am an ultra endurance athlete (running, swimming, triathlon). I grew up involved in gymnastics & track, & was originally a cyclist by necessity to get from points A to B. I have participated in organized sports since j.h. school. I possess a lifetime of training & teaching experience. I have several years training and coaching, and  I have been teaching others for too many years to count. I have multiple certifications: Personal Trainer, Specialist in Exercise Therapy, Group, Etc. I also hold 3 degrees: MM, BS, BA. I have had my health struggles which allow me to relate to clients, as most of us have had struggles along the way.

I've seen my share of  health issues, which led me to yoga and triathlon.  Several years ago  people began asking me for advice, & it worked for them, & I realized that this is 'teaching' which I'd been doing all my life.  So I  received certifications as a Group Trainer, Personal Trainer, and Specialist in Exercise Therapy. Then began helping others with their training & nutrition, & overcoming the obstacles of health & medical issues. I couldn't be more satisfied in my life. The 3 things I love the most: "Music, Pets, Fitness". All are linked by love & helping others. Who could ask for anything more?

My favorite client story

All of them. It is amazing & priceless to see a client complete a task (or goal) that they never thought they could! The joy it brings to the client is completely shared by me. And I've been there, so I completely understand how they feel.

My favorite exercise

anything & everything, but I guess if I have to pick it would be Running and Swimming. They are a FULL body workout (if done correctly, not a single muscle is left un-worked); and swimming is very low impact (so your joints aren't screaming later); high fat burning & body sculping. It's amazing :).

My favorite quote

My 3 favorite quotes: "Time wasted creating excuses is better served by creating solutions" Shannon Small. "To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe." Anatole France. "Never get in the way of someone doing the thing you said was impossible" -Amelia Earnhardt

My training philosophy

This is a life style change! Physically, psychologically, nutritionally. Find what you enjoy and do it! You may not realize it now, but there is something that you enjoy!
