Physical fitness has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the 1970s, I was the kid shooting hoops, playing basketball and soccer, and at 10 years old, I started lifting weights, which was life altering. I felt stronger, more confident and alive. That truth has remained with me for decades; through the running boom of the 1970s, to countless hours biking, hiking, lifting, jumping rope, etc. I know that I will have a better day if I am active. After retiring from a 30 year career teaching high school English, I became a certified personal trainer through ACE in April, 2023 and added a Senior Fitness certification a few months later. I’m here to make fitness approachable, fun, and results oriented and my goal is to guide you through the noise and help you build a sustainable path toward strength, vitality and well – being.

To make training fun, challenging and results based through consistency and guided practice based on partnership with my clients.

Sheila came to me over a year ago thirty pounds overweight, inactive and beset by inactivity brought on by Covid. One of her goals was to lose the weight, replace it with muscle and maybe wear a tank top once again. Now she has transformed her body, has gained her vitality, is happier and recently started wearing tank tops again!
