I used to be a Court Reporter and would go to the gym to rid myself of the stress of the day. My mother was obese and died of leukemia. I wanted to help people live a healthy lifestyle through exercise, nutrition, and well-being. I usually work with women and I often work with people with disabilities and special needs. A session consists of a cardio warmup, stretches, lower body strengthening, upper body strengthening, abs, back, more stretches, and stretches in between each exercise. Sometimes the session consists of all stretches if that is what the client needs. Exercise is modified to the individual's needs. I love training and helping people live a healthier lifestyle.

My favorite client story

My favorite client story is when a new client is completely out of shape and has never worked out or lifted a weight in her life. She knows none of the benefits of weight training or flexibility or nutrition. I get to teach the person the very basics and help her change her life beyond her own imagination, helping her see the benefits of living healthy and that it's much easier than ever believed and wanting to live this way for the rest of her life.

My favorite exercise

Stretching and free weight and resistance training.

My favorite quote

Consistency is key!

My training philosophy

Train, don't strain. Keep your body conditioned so you won't feel muscle pain. Love it and embrace it.

My training experience

I have over 30 years of experience working with different populations and age groups. I am your insurance policy that you WILL work out if I'm hired as your personal trainer. When I'm at your door, we're working out! You'll LOVE it, I'm sure.
