Philosophy:
Making the commitment to exercise on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not many endeavors we pursue in life will have such an important impact on our lives and health.
The benefits of regular exercise are numerous and can be seen immediately with the right program. Helping people make this commitment and achieve these benefits is what made me choose this career. Seeing lives change as well as bodies is extremely rewarding to me as a Personal Trainer.

Fitness Interests:
"I love movement! It all started with the variety of sports that I was exposed to growing up in Virginia. From high school playing soccer, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling and swimming to surfing and snowboarding in my free time. While attending JMU I fell in love with camping and backpacking and continued on in San Diego where I added yoga and cross fit ideals to the mix, and I got to do it all, all year 'round! All this movement got me interested in recovery and the details of the human body and its mechanics.
I was inspired by the amazing capabilities of the human body that we all have within us."
"Training is just that: Training. One day you cannot do something (read, math, ride a bike, squat press) and if you train yourself in the right ways, then later... well, you're reading this sentence aren't you! You are extremely adaptable to outside forces. You can ask yourself to push more and go longer or move faster and you will. This is where I, as a coach and trainer, come into it. From weight loss to mobility to performance, I am here to support and guide you through your training. I am here to help you do the work. Train. Adapt. Transform."

“ Get off the couch and run!!! Or do something, anything!” If you want to get fit or stay fit, you need to move your body. I am all about moving bodies as quickly and as often as possible.
Personal interests/hobbies
Running, tennis, cycling, hiking, travelling, cooking and doing volunteer work for local distance races such as the Shamrock Marathon and the Rock N Roll Half Marathon.
My fitness career started in 1990 when I was a sophomore in high school. I was inspired & motivated by my family’s obesity and unhealthy lifestyles to not make the same decisions and lifestyle choices that they had made. So I started with an old stationary bike, soup cans, water jugs and a marathon of ESPN fitness shows that jump started my love for a healthier lifestyle. My love for fitness led me to share that passion with others who needed guidance, motivation, and instruction toward achieving their fitness goals. In 2006, I obtained my Personal Training certification and have since trained and educated numerous people on the steps and tools to living a healthier and active lifestyle.

Training Philosophy
"No Pain, No Gain" this old cliché is part of my daily life. In order for me to grow mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually I must first understand and embrace the pain of self denial. Self denial for me is stepping outside of the box of familiarity and exploring life as I have never known it. To think differently, to workout harder, to push myself onward toward success, to embrace life's new experiences even when it hurts so good is what I live for. This is the inspiration and hope that I will continue to pass on to each and every one of my clients.
Personal Interest/hobbies
Working with the youth population to combat the growing rate of childhood obesity . I also enjoy spending time at the beach, rollerblading, road trips with my daughter, making people laugh, dancing, eating and learning new and fun things.
