About
I’m a personal trainer and nutritionist with 8+ years of experience helping everyday people get stronger, feel better, and move with confidence. I focus on sustainable training, proper movement, and realistic habits—not quick fixes—so your results last.
Every program I create is tailored to you: your goals, experience level, and any limitations you may have. I also have extensive experience helping clients safely work through and return from injuries using progressive, thoughtful training.
If you’re ready to feel stronger, healthier, and more capable in everyday life, I’d love to work with you.

Working with Syd has legitimately changed my life. She has patiently guided me throughout my training and my gains are noticeable to everyone around me. I feel strong, confident, and more energetic on the days we train together, and I look forward to being there even though its at 7am because I know Ill feel good at the end. I love to text friends and family to tell them my new PRs and feel proud of myself for what I have achieved, and they are always supportive and its awesome! I never would have had this success without Syd. I tell everyone I know that wants to get in shape that hiring a trainer is truly the best way to do it and I ALWAYS recommend Syd. If you are on the fence about training, this is your sign to DO IT and HIRE SYD!

Syd is such a thoughtful and intentional trainer. Before working with her, I was a little bit nervous because long ago I had a less-than-ideal experience with a 1-1 personal trainer. But after our initial consultation, all the apprehension I had was gone.Syd's work goes SO far beyond having set sessions each week for specific exercises. She taught me so much about thinking through how various exercises affect my whole body, the way my body should be engaged through entire activities, and how things that seem very basic (such as breathing and bracing) are really fundamental to achieving success in building strength.She's also just really fun to work with, which is obviously a huge benefit for anyone who has trouble getting themselves into the gym. I could not recommend her more!

Syd is an amazing person who has been very influential in helping me get back into shape (mentally and physically). From our first consultation to now, the programs that she has designed for me have helped me with my form, breathing, and overall endurance within lifting. When I show up for my sessions, she focuses on challenging me and educating me to continue to be consistent and persistent within my programs. She also offers insight and advice on what I can do outside of her sessions to continue to reinforce what she has taught me, so that I can continue to build healthy habits around workouts. Her session pricing is also very affordable compared to other personal trainers. If you are interested in working with her, sign up soon! She is a hot commodity.

Syd has been absolutely fantastic. I saw her a few times while I was still living in Chicago but recently moved to South Carolina. She has designed different strength programs for me to keep up with on my own. Shes super knowledgeable and great at pushing me without feeling like Im at risk of injury. I love how strong Ive felt since working with Syd!
