I have worked in the fitness industry for more than 20 years. I got my start first as a Lifeguard/Swim Instructor & Water Fitness Instructor for the US Navy as a DoD civilian then eventually took on the role as the command MWR Fitness Coordinator at Naval Air Station Lemoore. As fitness evolved in that time, I did too. In addition to personal training, my passion lays in Function Fitness, Metabolic Conditioning, Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting but, I also teach anything from Aqua Fitness to Yoga for Athletes. I truly enjoy helping my clients and athletes become a better version of themselves by providing education on the importance of functional training and maintaining a well-rounded quality of life, mind-body-soul.
Having worked full time in the fitness industry as both a personal trainer and group exercise instructor for the past 25 years, my experience is broad. I have worked with people just starting out on their path to fitness, athletes, pre and post-natal women, active seniors, and a lot of people in between. My joy comes from seeing others find joy in their life through fitness and wellness. I believe in balance – there is always time for exercise, but our bodies need rest, fuel, and even the occasional treat. I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of your fitness journey
"My journey into the world of health and fitness began with a personal revelation. As a certified personal trainer, I bring a wealth of knowledge in both fitness and nutrition to help you achieve your wellness goals. With expertise in healthy,
sustainable weight loss, functional movement, and sport-specific training, I strive to empower my clients to achieve their fitness goals. My focus on balance, mobility, and strength training ensures a holistic approach to wellness, promoting not just physical fitness but overall well-being.

I’ll be there as you achieve your millstones, overcome challenges, and embrace the incredible benefits of a life dedicated to fitness and well-being."
After a few decades of a lifestyle that prioritized fast food and screen time I had a big wake up call. I leaned into fitness and nutrition to see what kind of difference it could make. With the help of lifestyle changes I have lost and kept off 50 lbs., improved my metabolic markers across the board, and experienced priceless improvements in self-confidence and mood. The more I learn the more excited I feel about fitness and crafting strategies for sustainable change with others. It's incredible how much an active lifestyle and mindful nutritional choices can improve not only your body, but also your cognitive function, mental-health and self-esteem. My goals are simple. To move with ease, to have the strength to meet the demands of an active life and do what I can to support my body and mind as it carries me through this journey at every stage. I'd love to work with anyone on a similar path of lifelong self-improvement, learning, and discovery.
