Personal Trainers

I had lost all of my baby weight by doing what I had done in my early 20’s, cardio, more cardio, and abs. But after months of hard work the pounds came off but I still had not achieved my ideal physique. “What is going on?” I would say to myself. So one day I decide to talk to a trainer because I obviously was not doing something right. I learned that day that women needed to be in the “free weight” area and strength train just as much as men did. That protein and weights would not make me look like Arnold! That day I learned I was “skinny fat” and I did not like that I was in a category with the word FAT. The next day I met with my trainer!

Over the next year, I learned so much about my body, myself, and about being FIT. I had a lot of sessions where I answered my trainer with puzzled looks on my face when he would tell me what exercise was next. Squat, what is that? You mean you want me to take my backside to the floor with that bar on my back? But each workout got better. I got stronger and my knowledge of fitness grew.  I made it a goal of mine to help other women get over their fear of weight training and fear of stepping into a gym. I want to let them know my story and how I have overcome my fears to be healthy for myself and my family. 

I became part of a Personal Training team. Hearing other people’s stories of how they so desperately wanted to be healthy and encouraging them on getting started is now one of my passions. Seeing my clients make transformations to being healthy is such a rewarding feeling. My clients look at me often and say, “Because of you, I did not give up” and those words are what keep me focused as a personal trainer and a fitness competitor. My clients believe in me and my passion for fitness.
