How would you describe your training Philosophy?  

My training philosophy centers around improving one’s ability to be strong and move confidently throughout all phases of their lives.  It is a holistic approach that really focuses on life balance and performance.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about all things strength related.  However, I am most passionate about empowering people with the skills and knowledge to be the best versions of themselves in every phase of their daily lives. It does individuals and their families no good if all of one’s energy is devoted to their own betterment at the expense of their spouse, family, career, etc. 

What made you decide to be a personal trainer?

I decided to become a personal trainer and coach after years in my own personal journey in bodybuilding.  I have a genuine care for ensuring people have the knowledge and education they need to propel personal growth.  There is way too much misinformation in the fitness industry. I want this gym to be a beacon of truth to dispel all the myths, fads, and lies.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?  

Take it slow.  Rome wasn’t built in a day; neither was the statue of David.  You are no exception. Be patient with yourself and stay committed to the goal.

How would you describe your training Philosophy?

My training philosophy centers around growing along all planes of existence (mental, physical, spiritual) and utilizing physical fitness as a tool and outlet to promote growth along those planes. 

What are you passionate about?

I’m really passionate about helping people. I want to be able to make a positive impact on everyone that I meet, and leave people in better condition than when I found them. I’m passionate about loving people unconditionally, mental health, spirituality.

What made you decide to be a personal trainer?

I was picked on as a kid for being small and skinny, which is what sparked my interest in physical fitness. Along the lines I fell in love with the fitness culture and community, and people who were trying to better their lives in whatever way for whatever reason they had. I dreamt of being able to do what I love professionally and started to take the steps toward that goal. 

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey? 

Discipline and consistency is everything. To me that means no matter what my best is that day, as long as I show up and  do that I will continue to grow. Check your ego and focus on form, understanding the movements and really establishing that neural pathway and mind muscle connection.

How would you describe your training philosophy?

Every workout puts you one step closer to your goals and your goals will always be evolving. I believe in using muscle confusion to build strength, muscle and assist in weight loss. Fitness is not a temporary adjustment but a complete change in lifestyle. I also believe fitness is important not only to your physical health but to your mental health as well, as fitness helps to create a healthier, happier life.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about helping others look and feel like their best version of themselves. There is no better feeling than a client telling you that what you are teaching them is changing their lives. I am passionate about motivating people who doubt themselves and inspiring them to believe in themselves.

What made you decide to be a personal trainer?

I have always loved helping and inspiring others. When I fell in love with fitness, I knew this would be the perfect job to spread positivity, change lives and empower others with fitness too. I wanted to learn, love, grow and give back all the knowledge I gain to those eager to accept the knowledge.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?

There is no magic equation to fitness, what works for one person may not necessarily work for the next. There are many different styles of training for many different personalities. The key is to find out what works best for you and stay self disciplined. Things will not always be joyous and easy. There will be days you don't think you have it in you but I assure you once you let that self discipline take over and you leave the gym, you will feel victorious that you pushed through and didn’t give up on yourself. There is no better feeling than overcoming self doubt. That’s when you truly find out what you’re made of, your capabilities, mental growth, and physical strength. You've got this.

How would you describe your training philosophy?

While working with various clients of different ages and weight/size, the most results came from pushing themselves to the max with weight training. I believe anyone can reach their goals through strength training, whether you’re looking to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I thoroughly explain to my clients the scientific reasoning and purpose behind each and every exercise, not just physically show them how to perform it. It’s also important to me to teach my clients how to create a healthy lifestyle rather than a quick fix. While working with me, this is your time to grow as an individual, create healthier habits, and enjoy the process.

What are you passionate about?

I have a passion for helping people lead the best life that they can. I help them understand that having the freedom to move your body brings greater ability to enjoy all the good things in life.

What made you decide to be a personal trainer?

After starting my own fitness journey back in 2017, my love for fitness, health, and general well-being grew. I wanted to help and inspire others in the way that I was. My focus is not just changing appearances but outlooks on living a healthy lifestyle - working from the inside outwards.

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?

My one piece of advice would be to make a commitment to yourself. It’s up to you to decide that you are ready for a change. If you are not fully committed to the process, you will not reach your goals. Basically it’s about balance, and you have to be 100% committed to finding your balance.

Certification/Education: 

NASM certified personal trainer, NASM certified nutrition coach. 

Areas of concentration:

I have specializations in weight loss and women's fitness. I also have experience working with seniors and those with limited physical capacity.

Recently I have done extensive self-study on how to help clients build better habits and mindsets, and have created and instructed online courses on these subjects. I have found that there is a powerful connection between mindset and longevity in one's fitness journey.

How would you describe your training Philosophy? 

I take a whole person approach to wellness. Wellness is not just physical fitness-it encompasses all aspects of a person's life: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. When someone comes to me for help, I like to understand the big picture. What is their fitness history, and why is fitness/wellness important to them? What is their current lifestyle and what kinds of habits do they have? What mindsets might be holding them back? What's their social support system like? Understanding what a person's life is like outside of the gym is very important in building an effective wellness program.

What are you passionate about?

My passion is for helping women come into their power and know themselves. I love to see women grow confident in their abilities, in their decisions, and in their bodies.

What made you decide to be a personal trainer?

When my first child went off to kindergarten, I decided I needed to do something just for me. I had always wanted to be a runner, so I started training for a half marathon. During my training I kept incurring minor injuries that set me back, so I started researching ways to strengthen my hips and knees. I started lifting weights and fell in love with it. I have a natural inclination to help others, so I was always giving exercise suggestions to friends at the gym. My best friend encouraged me to study to get my personal training certification, so I went for it. It was one of the best decisions I ever made!

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey? 

Take baby steps. Make small lifestyle changes that you practice consistently every day. Make a contingency plan for when life happens, and expect to fall off the wagon a few times. Fitness is a marathon not a sprint, and as long as you get back up and keep going, you will reach your destination.
