I am a lifelong enthusiast for health and fitness both in my own life and for those around me. I understand the benefits of exercise across the age spectrum including how it can combat difficulties that come with aging firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing my enthusiasm materialize in the form of a job working at Orange Theory Fitness for the last 14 months. This sparked my decision to make an impact on individuals outside my immediate circle by obtaining my Personal Trainer Certification.

I believe I can help most people who feel that it is impossible to get in shape or work out, especially baby boomers and elder, and empathetically show them the way

A client can expect to feel heard, listened to, challenged in a way that accomplishing the challenge will make him/her feel great!

58-year-old man, Brian, with the classic ” beer belly” who never worked out, but knew he had to lose weight and exercise, but no motivation. The key was to, at first by example, discuss nutrition on a very basic level, this is good, this is not, and then to figure out what form of exercise he might be able to do, and like. He always asked what I did for myself in most of these situations. We shared and talked, got him to eat better, but discovered that he loved to swim as a child. Three months later, Brian has dropped 18 lbs and swims 4-5 days a week!
