my fitness story
I started my fitness journey 14 years ago, and I have been personal training for the past 12 years as a certified ISSA trainer. I know that working out can be tough, and I am here to help motivate my clients and push them further then they ever thought they could go.
I was always active growing up. In college I kept in shape by dancing on the dance team. I never would call myself very athletic though. Sports never came easy to me and they still don't. After my 2nd year in college I began to not be happy with my body. My brother Vic invited me to the gym to teach me how to lift. He promised I would like it. Believe it or not, I have never stopped after that first day at the gym. You will never see me miss a workout unless I am very sick. Other then that you can find me at the gym. I loved the results I was getting and it motivated me to continue. I wanted to lean my legs out and get nice shapely shoulders and arms. I gained a lot confidence through lifting and discovered a new passion in my life.
I took my passion for fitness to the next level by competing in 10 plus NPC figure shows. Currently, I am no longer actively competing. My goal is to maintain a healthy well-rounded lifestyle. I enjoy cardio and lifting weights 6 times a week. In the summer I take to my road bike and enjoy long summer rides. I must watch my diet very carefully and preplan my meals. I definitely practice what I preach daily!
I would like to share with you some of my clients’ testimonials about my training and diet guidance that helped them reach their goals in the hope it will inspire you to go after your goals!
