Spending a good part of my early life sitting, in 2014 I experienced a back injury. I thought I was healthy, but was not strength training or matching my nutrition with my goals. I changed my daily habits and lifestyle, which included eating MORE and doing LESS cardio and more weights! I’ve been pain free for 8 years and am stronger now than I’ve ever been!

I love seeing fitness become a part of people’s lives because it not only helps them keep their results, but truly changes them from the inside out. It’s an incredible transformation; people not only become healthier and stronger, but also more confident and the best version of themselves!

What I enjoy most as a trainer is seeing clients progress in their strength in order to help them with other sports interests or physically difficult tasks. Getting a client who has come back from an injury being able to complete something they have never done before is my favorite part of being in this industry. I also Really enjoy working with our high school athletes and then watching how the work they did with us helps them become more successful on the field, ice, pool, etc.
