Hi my name is Debbie Thompson I live in Loves Park, IL. Health & wellness has always been a passion of mine. My goal is to be the best healthiest version of myself I can be & help other women do the same. I specialize in women's health & fitness 40 years on up to 70. I am relatable to most women in that I have been on many of diets to lose weight successfully but to regain it all back and then some within a year. Women are very busy, we are usually the ones managing the household, family & career, we might find the time for healthy meals but no time to go to a gym, & if we are a member of a gym do we even make it there more than once a week. I'm happy to say so far on this journey to being the best healthiest version of myself I have not regained the weight I have lost & have been consistently doing some sort of physical activity daily and I want to help be there for other women, that is why I became a Certified Personal Trainer, currently working on my Health Coach Certification. I am here for you, we can do this together, it starts with little changes at a time, little progressions, I can help you be successful, on your journey to great health, wellness with a little bit of fitness :)

My favorite exercise

My favorite beginner exercise is squatting with a chair behind me & lunges holding on to a chair for balance.
4 years into my fitness journey I would have say the Squat Overhead Press because it is a great total body compound exercise that will hit the upper & lower body as well as the core.

My training philosophy

Be Thankful, Be Positive, lets have some FUN, but most importantly lets keep everyone safe!! Proper form, doing the exercise correctly can prevent injury & can help with achieving maximum muscular developement.

My training experience

I work with women who are new to fitness training, we start with balance & proper form with body weight &/or light weights & For some women I am their walking partner.
