FAQs

NASM PT Certification, NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, NASM Performance Enhancement Specialist, Nutritional Certification, and I have completed numerous workshops and continuing education credits. I have the experience of training for Crunch and Bally, also I was Fitness Director for several years at Bally before beginning my own business. Overall I have been a personal trainer since 2001 and a kickboxer on my own prior to that.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I went to college and began working in accounting. I enjoyed numbers but my passion was fitness. I worked out regularly and began kickboxing. A friend I kickboxed with was a personal trainer and convinced me that it was a great career so I should use my fitness knowledge, become certified, and apply to a gym as a trainer. I did so and have been enjoying that decision ever since, for more than 17 years now.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I typically help clients who want or need to lose weight, are trying to get in shape for an athletic sport or event, or just need to regain a level of fitness they have lost over the years.
