Why did you decide to pursue personal training?

After the birth of my first daughter, I truly realized the importance of health and fitness not only for myself but to be a good example to my children. As a family we make fitness a priority and do our very best to make it fun so our children will grow into healthy adults.

What would you want someone to know who is considering personal training?

Just walk in the door and we will take care of the rest. I understand just walking through those doors can be a challenge, but I promise we will work together each and everyday to make that walk through the door easier and hopefully something you actually look forward to!

Biggest food temptation?

I actually love all food! I love trying new foods and especially have a hard time making decisions at restaurants because I want to try everything!

What is your personal training philosophy?

I believe health and fitness must be a consistent priority in everyday life.  To make that happen, health and fitness must be something you are interested in and look forward to everyday. I believe it is my job to make fitness and health fun and engaging. Not only do I provide comprehensive guidance and feedback throughout your fitness journey, I strive to be playful, have fun and provide input in a positive encouraging manner. It is important to celebrate progress whether big or small and understand fitness and health is a lifelong journey with ups and downs.

Every person that walks through the door is unique with their own goals and ideas.  I pride myself on being able to connect with each individual and work with them in a collaborative process. We are a team and will succeed together.

Favorite exercise?

Squats! I love all squats, weighted squats, body weight squats, light squats, heavy squats. They just make me feel strong and are such an important functional movement.
