The best way to find
a personal trainer in Madison

I work and train in all levels of older adult fitness and physical health. I travel to your home or to a place of your choosing, and bring all equipment with me. Being an older adult myself allows me to empathize with participants so I create a program based on experience as well as training. Experienced and certified specialist in older adult physical fitness assessment, personal training, and group fitness instructing. I train in a very structured and safe order. Stability (posture), mobility, dynamic movement, and finally strength. Ensuring mastery of the fundamentals of activity before moving to resistance helps protect a client from injury and creates a strong base to improve all activities and quality of life.

As a former university teacher, I try to educate my clients, using thoughtful, personalized training based on the latest research—with a gentle humor thrown in. I specilaize in mindfulness in fitness and nutrition. My clients say I’m “easy to talk to,” “bring new insights,”and “treat clients as individuals.” My specialization are in Orthopedis exercise and nutrition coaching. But my certification in QiGong adds a dimension that sets me apart.
I came into the field when I reached my 50s and was diagnosed with cervical stenosis and lumbar disk degeneration. Working with a knowledgeable and caring trainer and learning QiGong changed my own life so much, I wanted to bring that to others.

I have been in the Wellness Industry for over 20+ years. My primary offering in the industry was fitness instructing and personal training, which I still am involved in. I am an education guru. LOVE to learn. The nutrition end of reaching those goals is a MUST! Being I want to offer my clients the best support & direction, I decided to go back to school to become certified in the Nutrition field. I am proud to say I became a Certified Nutrition Coach in March of 2016, through IIN out of New York.
I come to this field with a wealth of hands on experience of being overweight, anorexia & trying all those “myths” out there how to lose the weight. Bottom line, it’s a simple equation, output needs to be higher than input. The quality of that “input” will make a huge difference, and that is where I come in.

I will be your support system & motivator to make healthier & more fulfilling decisions in assisting you reach your goals in a smart, safe manner. Knowledge = Power, I will give you that power to move forward with your life with a positive & upbeat outlook to make a long term change in your mental & physical well- being.
Outside of my wellness world, our beautiful 8 year old daughter is my world. We have a Shar Pei & a cat, fish, and we are working on a miniature pig, which may bring chickens with it…. We enjoy being outside, walking, biking, boating, anything outdoors in warm weather? Not too much of a cold weather lover.
