Hello! I'm Brooke, a dedicated and passionate personal trainer with 15 years of experience helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals. My journey into fitness began with my background in the Air Force, where I developed a strong appreciation for physical health and discipline. Today, I integrate these principles into my training philosophy, emphasizing balance as the key to a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

A typical session with me lasts one hour and begins with a 15-minute initial assessment to understand your unique needs and goals. From there, we dive into a workout tailored specifically for you, focusing on proper form, motivation, and the mental aspects of fitness. Throughout the session, I provide ongoing nutrition guidance to ensure all aspects of your health journey are covered.

I particularly enjoy working with those who are committed to making lasting changes and who appreciate the holistic approach to fitness and wellness.

There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a client achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

My favorite client story

One of my most cherished client stories involves a remarkable young woman in her early twenties who approached me with the goal of passing a military physical fitness test (PFT). Beyond the physical challenges, she was grappling with self-esteem issues that were impacting her overall well-being.

When we began our journey together, her confidence was at rock bottom. It was evident that her true obstacle wasn't just her weight but the self-doubt that had taken root. Our one-on-one sessions became a space for empowerment, encouragement, and the gradual discovery of her own strength and capabilities.

Over the course of a year, we worked tirelessly on both the physical and mental aspects of her fitness journey. The breakthrough came when she not only aced the PFT but also radiated a newfound glow of confidence. Witnessing her transformation was nothing short of amazing.

Our connection didn't end there; we stayed in touch for a few more years. During this time, I had the privilege of watching her heal her relationship with food and her body. The weight loss was a tangible outcome, but what truly stood out was her shedding of self-doubt. She became a beacon of self-assurance, conquering the issues that had initially brought her to me.

This client's journey exemplifies the profound impact of fitness on one's overall well-being. It's not just about achieving physical goals; it's about overcoming mental barriers and fostering a positive relationship with oneself. I am immensely proud to have played a role in her transformative experience, and stories like hers fuel my passion for guiding others on their unique paths to empowerment and self-discovery.

My favorite exercise

As someone who has traveled extensively, I understand the importance of a versatile and comprehensive exercise routine that can be done anywhere. My favorite type of exercise routine includes a balanced mix of warmup, bodyweight exercises, cardio, and stretching, ensuring a complete workout that fits seamlessly into any lifestyle.

My Go-To Routine:

Warmup and Stretching: We start with a dynamic warmup and stretching session to prepare your muscles and joints for the workout ahead. This helps increase blood flow, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of injury.

Bodyweight Exercises: Next, we move into bodyweight exercises such as squats, push-ups, lunges, and planks. These exercises engage multiple muscle groups, improve strength, and enhance overall fitness without the need for any equipment.

Cardio: Following the strength exercises, we incorporate a cardio component. This can include activities like jumping jacks, high knees, burpees, or running in place. Cardio helps boost your heart rate, burn calories, and improve cardiovascular health.

Cooldown and Stretching: After the main workout, we transition into a cooldown phase with gentle stretching. This helps your body gradually return to a resting state, reduces muscle stiffness, and promotes flexibility.

Recovery Shake: Finally, I recommend a recovery shake to replenish nutrients and support muscle recovery. This helps your body recover faster and prepares you for your next workout.

Empowerment Through Personalized Training:

Finding an exercise routine that you enjoy and that brings you results is key to staying motivated and committed. Here's how we will discover your favorite workout:

Exploration and Variety: We will explore a variety of exercises and routines to find what you enjoy most. Whether it’s bodyweight exercises, strength training, cardio, or flexibility workouts, we’ll try different approaches to see what resonates with you.

Education and Knowledge: Understanding the purpose and benefits of each exercise can make the workout more enjoyable and empowering. I will provide detailed explanations and demonstrations to help you feel confident and knowledgeable about your routine.

Progress Tracking and Results: We will set realistic goals and track your progress regularly. Seeing your improvements, whether in strength, endurance, flexibility, or overall fitness, will keep you motivated and encouraged.

Boosted Self-Esteem: As you start seeing results and feeling stronger, your self-esteem will naturally improve. Exercise is not just about physical changes but also about building confidence and a positive self-image.

Personalized Approach: Each workout will be tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and fitness level. By creating a routine that fits your lifestyle and goals, we’ll ensure that you not only stick with it but also look forward to it.
