My favorite client story

I have a client who trained with me in the Bay Area for a year. She decided to move to Chicago for a job and was sad that she would have to give up training with me... BUT, we found a solution, and every Wednesday morning we Skype! I have been training her for over 3 years now on Skype and it works out perfectly.

My favorite exercise

I love Pilates! They say if you do Pilates 3x a week you will notice a difference in 30 days in your posture, strength and flexibility and in 90 days, your friends will notice :) Pilates is a mind-body exercise and can improve your golf and tennis game!

My favorite quote

You can't walk on the treadmill and eat a pretzel at the same time

My training philosophy

Have fun!! If you are not enjoying it, you will not continue with it.

My training experience

I have been working in the fitness industry for over 25 years. I started dancing at the age of 8 and danced professionally out of high school. From there, I taught dance and fitness part time for several years. 4 years ago, I retired from a career in Marketing and PR and went back to my passion teaching dance and fitness full time.

I believe that keeping active and fit as well as proper nutrition is vital to a long, healthy life. My focus is on form and posture, working with you to strengthen your core, balance and agility.
