Introduction: With a background in the medical field, I work to prevent injuries while helping my clients meet their fitness goals. Many trainers will prescribe a cookie-cutter workout program with boring exercises that isolate single muscles. Your body works like a machine, a sum of many moving parts. My programs incorporate fun exercises that work many muscle groups at once. My clients become strong, lean and powerful. I LOVE my job. I get to show up to a beautiful facility and encourage people to be their best self. It brings me great joy to teach clients about their body and its potential. I get to see actual, physical progress in my work; there is nothing better than seeing my clients push past obstacles to achieve huge goals.

Liz is amazing. She's finds the perfect balance between being tough and being sympathetic. She has taught me the value of type two fun -- not necessarily fun during a workout, but definitely a fun and accomplished feeling afterwards. After every workout, I definitely feel like I did good for my body. She's also able to come up with workouts that strengthen muscles that need strengthening, and avoid injuries. I have a shoulder that dislocates occasionally, and we were able to strengthen the muscles around it, so that it happens significantly less frequently. Also, when I broke my elbow, Liz was still able to come up with great leg and ab workouts while it was healing, and then strengthening exercises when I was able to use it again. If you're looking for an awesome personal trainer, look no further!

Liz is a consummate professional who has as much knowledge, skills and experience as she does kindness, warmth and understanding. Her sharp attention to form and detail, in addition to her use of training informed by current research, has helped establish and sustain my trust in her. I came to Liz after experiencing life threatening spinal injury for which I needed invasive surgery. With her help, I have been able to rebuild strength, mobility, stamina, and most importantly, the self-confidence needed to return to an active, healthy lifestyle.

I've been working with Liz for nearly a year now. And she has helped me through a couple different phases in my life. When we first met, she coached me with a custom program to my lowest body fat % (which was the goal). I never felt so healthy - and was ready for a tri I planned to compete in. Then the gears shifted when I became pregnant. Liz coached me through the entire pregnancy - and I can honestly say it's because of her that I've had a relatively easy time of it. Staying fit while pregnant is very important, but you need to be careful. Liz knew just what to do. She has both the medical & fitness knowledge to keep me & baby safe and in shape. That knowledge applies to everything - whether you are recovering from an injury, have imbalances in your body, or have aches/pains and don't know why. I plan to continue working with Liz as I enter mommy-hood, and would highly recommend her to anyone. Here custom programs are top notch and her workouts are always fun/interesting. Even after a year, I look forward to seeing her every week.

I've been working with Liz the past few weeks and have been super happy with my training plan and workouts. She is super supportive and motivating. The gym facilities are also great - love that it's only other people with their trainers there!

I was initially drawn to Liz because of her knowledge beyond just fitness. Her expertise in sports medicine and injury prevention resonated with my own experience having had two knee injuries in college. My impetus for finding a personal trainer was to get into "wedding shape," but Liz did much more than that. Not only did she help me lose weight, tone up, and guide me when I was confronted with my third knee surgery just a month prior to the wedding day (not to mention the house visits she made while I was on crutches, the home circuits she sent that kept me in shape without hurting my knee, and the frequent check-in texts), but she also helped me regain a sense of self. Because of our work together, I walked down the aisle without crutches and danced until the wee hours, but more importantly, I felt like the greatest version of myself: poised and confident in my body. Fast forward a year and I'm still finding our weekly sessions grounding, inspiring, and transformative. Liz's passion for movement and zeal to better nourish the body and mind is contagious. She is both a mentor and dear friend.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Not only am I a personal trainer, but I am also a PhD researcher in the field of Exercise Physiology. I am currently conducting my doctoral research in the culturally rich city of San Francisco. My research interests include assessing athletic readiness, injury prevention, blood-flow restricted exercise, and body composition. In addition to collaborating on research and philanthropy projects, I am also teaching several undergraduate courses at the University of Hawaii's department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When hiring a personal trainer, make sure you have personalities that work well together. You may like everything about their credentials, but if you don't feel comfortable or motivated when working with them, you won't enjoy the experience. You will be spending a lot of time with your trainer, make sure you like them!
