About
Because your workout should be built around you—not pulled from a template.
I specialize in helping women 40–70 get stronger, move better, improve balance, and feel more confident through fully customized workouts in my private home gym.
Every session is planned around your goals, your body, and your fitness level. Whether you're brand new to strength training or ready to be challenged, I'll meet you where you are and help you progress safely with expert coaching and great form.
What makes me different is that I don't just tell you what to do—I teach you why you're doing it. You'll understand how your body moves, which muscles you're working, and how proper technique helps you get better results while reducing the risk of injury.
No crowded gym. No cookie-cutter workouts. Just personalized coaching, encouragement, and a workout designed specifically for you.

I've been working with Janet for almost a year now. She is a very experienced and committed trainer whose positive and optimistic attitude makes every session enjoyable, even when the workouts are tough.
Janet consistently encourages me to work hard and stay focused on my goals. Each session is created just for my own unique needs. She believes in my potential and pushes me in the best way possible. Thanks to her guidance and support, I feel stronger and more confident every day.
I highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and inspiring personaltrainer.

5/5 Stars - Exceptional PersonalTrainer!
I have prioritized fitness for most of my life, so being 59 years old, i have worked with more than my fair share of fitness instructors/trainers. I have had the pleasure of working with Janet for about 5 years now, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive personaltrainers I've ever encountered. From the very first session, Janet took the time to understand my fitness goals and tailor a program that was both challenging and achievable.
Once my fitness goals have been established, she creates customized workouts. Each session is meticulously planned to ensure I'm pushing myself to new heights while maintaining safety and proper form. The variety in the workouts keeps things engaging and exciting, so I never feel bored or stagnant.
What truly sets Janet apart, however, is her unwavering support and encouragement. She has a way of motivating you to reach your full potential without ever making you feel pressured or overwhelmed. Seeing results has given me both confidence and a recognizable sense of pride which are so invaluable to me.
I highly recommend Janet to anyone seeking a transformative fitness experience!

My husband & I worked with Janet as a couple. She created exercises that matched our fitness level. She kept a close eye on our form, monitored our heart rates after each exercise & tracked our improvement. Overall. Janet is a great personaltrainer.

Janet is a highly knowledgeable trainer. She tailors workouts for your level of fitness. She prepares the workout ahead of time and really puts so much thought into each exercise she schedules for your training session. I also love how she tracks my progress for each session and can then look back at my previous history so that I can see how I’m progressing. She also teaches me what body part each exercise is working. If I tell her that I want to focus on a certain area, she changes the workout accordingly. Along with all of this knowledge and expertise, she’s also such a fun and sweet person that you will absolutely enjoy spending an hour or two a week with!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My one-hour sessions are $90 and fully customized to your body, goals, and fitness level. To encourage consistency and progress, I offer a reduced rate for a second session during the same week. Many clients find that training twice a week helps them build momentum, improve technique, and reach their goals more effectively.
Personal training is an investment in your health, and I treat it that way—with thoughtful planning, individualized coaching, and a science-based approach.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a complimentary phone meet-and-greet where we'll discuss your goals, answer your questions, and see if we're a good fit. If it feels right, we'll schedule a complimentary one-hour session in my private home gym, where you'll experience my coaching style, complete a few movement assessments, and get a personalized workout tailored to you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with additional certifications in Women's Fitness, Senior Fitness, Corrective Exercise, Balance, and Group Fitness. I also hold a certification as an MMA-Fitness Boxing Coach.
Before becoming a full-time personal trainer, I spent 25 years as an elementary school teacher. Teaching has always been my passion, and today I bring that same patience and ability to explain movement into every training session.
My own fitness journey spans decades—from earning my 2nd-degree black belt in karate as a teenager, to years of strength training, to training in boxing since 2018. Those experiences, combined with ongoing education, have shaped the personalized, science-based approach I use with every client.
