I was never very active growing up; I was the nerdy kid who prioritized homework and video games over sports and running around outside. As an adult, I tried your typical gym and found it both intimidating and boring. In 2018, I discovered high-intensity interval training and now I can't imagine my life without fitness. In my workouts, I love deadlifts, handstand push-ups, or anything core-focused. I might whine a little if you tell me to do some farmer carries, but even that I kind of enjoy.

As a trainer, I aim to provide a space for those who don't feel comfortable in your traditional fitness center. Gyms can be intimidating, no doubt about it, especially for those of us who are diagnosed female at birth or are queer, trans, or non-binary. I want to help you reach your fitness goals, be it for weight gain, loss, toning, or strengthening. I specialize in those new to fitness, but welcome more advanced athletes as well.

My favorite exercise

I love deadlifts, handstand push-ups, or anything core-focused.

My training philosophy

I have a compassion-based approach to my training. I am more concerned with creating a life-long change than I am getting "fit for summer."

My training experience

I've been coaching group HIIT classes since 2019 and got my personal training certification in 2020.
