You deserve the best health possible

• What does my health mean to me?
• Why do I need a personal trainer?
• What am I hoping to gain from my experience?
• What can I expect from a training session?
• What am I looking for in a personal fitness trainer?
• Do they have life experience to really understand me?
• Do I agree with their philosophy?
• Can I feel comfortable in the environment provided?
• Do I feel comfortable with the trainer and their ability to help me?
• Are they licensed, certified, and insured?

These are all important questions you should ask yourself on your journey to selecting a personal fitness trainer and coach. My recommendation is to interview at least 3 before making this very important decision for your health care. My goal for you as a certified personal trainer, consultant and coach is to provide a personal program catered to you.

My philosophy for my fitness practice is one that does NOT support the “one size fits all generic program.”  This is simply not fair to you as a person, a waste of your time, money, and most importantly does not take your “personal” health into consideration.  What I do provide are personalized programs designed from information provided by you, tests given, and through our discussions to put together a program that provides the BEST fit for YOU.  Your session is individual as I cater to the specific goals you want to achieve, and taking into consideration the genetics you were born with, and any medical issues.  Also, bodies come in all shapes and sizes and every person is entitled to a program that addresses each body type and very important, a program designed that allows you to achieve the results you are looking for.   I am sensitive to body image issues working in this field for many years, and I provide a comfortable environment conducive to getting healthy and staying healthy for everyone.

 My job as your personal trainer includes motivation, training, accountability, and continued support to keep you moving in a healthy direction.  Through this process, you will learn, progress, and continue to excel to new levels of fitness excellence. As I work with you, I will teach you correct form, technique, mental focus, and the very important mind body connection with the muscle groups being trained. Each training session is a step closer to your goal and excitement of this fact is shared throughout your training program.  Each session will provide the ability for you visualize your goals, and a workout intensity that is not only challenging, but enjoyable. I give 100% focus to you during your training session, and my expectation from you is to have a fun time with your workout, be willing to learn and know that I am with you every step of the way through every challenge.   This time is special, your “ME” time, your time to learn, get a great workout, and adapt a healthy lifestyle.

My goal for you as my client is to get you to a place of self knowledge and confidence that allows you to be comfortable walking into any gym or fitness facility and, without hesitation and complete focus, create and complete a program knowing that you have all the resources you need to have a fantastic workout while achieving your goals. It is at this point that I know I have succeeded as your trainer, as I realize that most people do not plan on having a trainer for life. There is no better gift to me than to get a call from a client who has shared that they completed a workout, understood what they were working, how to work it, and with enthusiasm…I DID IT!!!  Life for me as your trainer does not get better than thatJ.

My most popular program is the 12 week Fitness Lifestyle Makeover.  Healthy and successful weight loss is generally at a rate of no more than 2lbs per week, with muscle gains becoming apparent after 12 weeks.   I also recommend at least 2 sessions per week to start with under this plan, especially as a newbie exerciser.  My expectation of you during this time would be that you follow the nutrition and cardio program designed for you, in addition to your appointments with me.  Once you and I bond as trainer/client, it becomes team work and a promise to each other that I will give you 100%, but you have to give me 100% in return, or at least the best that you can be at that moment.   The most successful programs are those that are taken seriously and both of us are willing to give to the program what has been assigned.  Good work will get good grades simply put.  I understand that the desire is there to get healthy otherwise you would not have contacted me, and all that is lacking is the skills, resources, and mental connection to achieve your goals. This is where I step in to do my job with you and this is also why the success rate is so high.  The motivational level and accountability I will provide help with the process for you to stay on track, and after our time together, you will have adapted a dedication, confidence and motivation to continue training on your own in any environment.

My dedication to the bodywork field for over 20 years is not by accident following my passion and making the best decision of my life to help people improve the quality of their life as a fitness trainer, consultant, and coach.   I keep my education updated with continuing classes in the field that add to my tool box of techniques that are passed down to you during your training session. Do not expect the “norm” when working with me as I implement what is necessary to reach your goals and love to throw in trainer surprises, and new workouts to try.  You are guaranteed to always be surprised as you are challenged with different workouts virtually every time you see me.  No boring, hum drum stuff in the training room.  There is nothing better than the positive endorphins released from an outstanding workout that you have accomplished.  The “fitness glow” is fabulous!!!!

Life is too short to not start taking care of yourself.  Good health is the wealth of life and it is never too late to get healthy and stay healthy!!!! Making this decision to improve the quality of your life, I look forward to the opportunity to be involved in your self care and ME time which is so important in adapting a healthy lifestyle for LIFE.   

I provide an environment for you that allows you to feel comfortable as a “newbie” or established exerciser. My belief system is to focus on what you need and making the most of the time that you have purchased. As a body worker, I see a BODY as a BODY, and knowing all bodies come in different wonderful packages, body image is never an issue. I am here to help you get healthy and together improve the quality of your life for the rest of your life.  

My Motto……Stay Healthy!!!
