Philosophy

Health and fitness must be a lifestyle choice. Learning the basics of exercise and nutrition, and then finding ways to implement them into a busy schedule is the only way to produce permanent results. Exercise and healthy food does not have to be boring or miserable, get a plan that is interesting, exciting and beneficial to your goals and you won't mind making it part of your life.

Experience

I have always been involved in athletics and interested in fitness, so after serving in the United States Air Force I decided to make it my life. Since 2003 I have been part of the southern New Hampshire fitness industry as a certified personal trainer and club manager. I have had the opportunity to work in many different types of fitness settings and personal training environments including 30,000 sq-ft national chains, corporate health clubs, private training studios, and in home personal training. I have also talked to thousands of people from the local community about their fitness goals, lifestyles, nutrition and exercise needs. I have seen many of these people change their entire life with fitness.

Philosophy

I believe in setting specific goals whether in fitness or in life. As a personal trainer, I strive to motivate and educate my clients by incorporating fitness and proper nutrition into their daily lives.

Experience

I have always been physically fit, but during my child rearing years I struggled with weight gain. I tried weight loss programs, exercising on my own, home work-out programs, etc. After years of struggling, I finally hired a personal trainer. I lost 30 pounds in 5 months and gained my self-confidence back. I have since trained and competed in figure competitions with the NPC, INFB, and WTF in Tampa, FL. Fitness has now become my PASSION.

Through these experiences, I came to realize that I wanted to pursue a career as a personal trainer to be able to help others realize their potential. Being certified with the American Council on Exercise has provided me with the knowledge to review all aspects of one's physical and mental health, and the ability to create specialized programs for the individuals needs. I have experienced first-hand that through hard work and dedication you can reach your goals.
