I
am certified in Personal Training and Sports
Nutrition through the I.F.P.A. (International Fitness Professionals
Association). I am also certified through A.C.E. (American Council on Exercise),
as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Coach. In addition, I am CPR and
First Aid Certified, carry full liability insurance, and am cleared through the
State of Florida with fingerprints and a background check. I take extensive
continuing education courses each year to remain current in fitness, exercise
and nutrition trends.
My
passion for weight lifting and nutrition started back in 1985 while I was
attending college in California. I joined my first gym and started eating
“healthy”. I could not believe the improvements in my body that I saw
in such a short amount of time. Others noticed too, and started asking for
my help with exercise and nutrition.
Since
then I have trained in “big” health clubs and private studios but prefer
owning my own business because I am able to provide my clients with personalized
attention, and customize their programs based on their individual goals and
needs.
Since
I have 3 children of my own, I know what it takes to get in shape and stay in
shape because I have been there myself! I also understand the roadblocks
mothers face with regard to finding time to exercise and eating healthy while
trying to raise a family! I’ve helped many people meet their goals,
overcome limitations, challenge themselves, and see changes in their body that
they never dreamed of. Now I want to help YOU!
My mission as a personal trainer is to educate my clients about exercise, diet
and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to empower them to make the most
of their abilities: through knowledge, direction and encouragement. I
encourage clients to take an active interest in accomplishing their goals, and I
welcome their input and feedback throughout the entire training process.
I've seen clients from ages 16 to 86 accomplish things they never thought
possible. No matter what shape you are in now, everyone can improve on what they
have.
