My Personal Fitness Journey

Here's the short version of my story:

I first started weightlifting 19 years ago while on the high school swim team.  I loved the strength and power that weightlifting gave me.  I've been strength training ever since.

I went to college with the goal of becoming a Spanish teacher.  I was one semester away from graduation when I realized that what I wanted to teach wasn't Spanish.  I wanted to share the power of strength training and the secrets of fitness.  With encouragement from my husband, Monte, I started studying to become a personal trainer.  I loved learning about nutrition and fitness.  I devoured books on strength training, flexibility, fat loss, nutrition, and health.  I certified with four different programs (ACE, Apex, YMCA, NASM) and I keep up my continuing education through ACE.  As a certified personal trainer, I have trained hundreds of clients in my private training studio.  

Through my studies and my training experience, I have discovered secrets to fat loss which can make the difference between success and failure.  It has become my passion to try to reach everyone who needs to know these secrets.

This is a picture of me in my wheelchair with my newborn baby Michael.  During his birth I dislocated my hip and landed in the wheelchair for 3 months.  Between the pregnancy and the inactivity, I gained 55 pounds!  Using principles from the MyFitnessTrainer program, I've gotten back into shape, and I also learned a lot in the process.  My empathy for those struggling with disabilities and obesity grew.  I want more than ever to reach everyone who needs the information I have to offer.

The hip troubles returned for my second and third pregnancies as well, but it was well worth the pain to have my sweet children.  A recent car accident disabled me again and came with no redeeming qualities. Although I'd still rather have sailed through life in perfect health, I do feel like I've learned a lot from my setbacks.  I have experience working around my own injuries and disabilities and those of my clients.  I am proud to say that I've never had a client receive an injury during our training sessions.  My clients come to me no matter what kind of shape they find themselves in because they know that I can help them work around whatever ails them. 

Many of the clients who train with me in my studio are mothers, like me.  They spend their lives sacrificing their own needs for those of their children.  When they finally realize that they need to take care of themselves better, they've collected some extra pounds.  For others their devotion to work has done wonders for their careers and wreaked havoc on their bodies.  Others struggle with challenges caused by diabetes, genetic predisposition for obesity, or physical handicaps.  I love to show them how to fine-tune their workouts and eating habits to get dramatically improved results.  They usually can't believe that the program could be so easy or so simple, until they see the lost inches.

Let's work together.
