The secret to a successful fitness journey is in the habits you perform in your daily life.

My training experience

I have 8 years of training experience working with clients from ages 18 years old to 90 years old. I have trained in all kinds of settings from in-home to in-gym to outside and give fun and challenging workouts that push people's limits! I also coach people on changing the way they eat and educate them on how to transition off of processed foods. I have 2 years of experience as a virtual health coach where I helped people change their habits and implement healthy ones so they can sustain a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives.
