It’s not about losing weight. WHATTTT, you say?

My goal with you as my client is not to help you lose weight, but rather, shift your focus to overall health and building daily strength. The reason is if we focus on things like lifting heavy, eating foods that work well with your body, sleeping enough, removing stress, taking walks and soon you will start to look and feel the way you always wanted to look!

Let’s work on feeling stronger and eating better and the rest will all fall in place. You’ll be a better mom, spouse, work colleague and look the best you’ve ever looked.

My coaching style is the enthusiastic cheerleader; I am not a drill sergeant and you never have to do anything you are uncomfortable with, although my workouts are going to push you outside your comfort zone.   I am a highly energetic trainer and I love helping others achieve their fitness goals. 

LET'S GO! 

I am fully insured and certified by a National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) accredited organization.
