My Fitness Philosophy …

I understand the power of feeling good in your own skin.  It can make a dramatic difference in your everyday life, and in your relationships with friends, family and at work. I want to help my clients achieve that same feeling through positive coaching and motivation. I love to incorporate strategic exercises such as circuit and strength training, plyometrics and flexibility challenges to achieve long lasting results. I will start with customizing an exercise program tailored to your unique goals and challenges, and educate you on making positive choices that you can use beyond the gym floor. 

Background and Specialties/Certifications

I started my career in health and fitness a little later in life after deciding to take a huge leap to become a certified personal trainer. I was working in corporate marketing and I wasn’t happy. My happy place was the gym and I felt renewed and energized after a good workout. I was working with an amazing personal training at Chicago Athletic Clubs and she said “why don’t you get certified and become a personal trainer - you’d be great at it.” I knew I wanted to teach my clients how beneficial taking care of your body is to your daily life. Two years later I was working as a trainer at the same gym!

I’m a 2001 Indiana University graduate and I have a master’s degree in Journalism from Northwestern University in Chicago. I started my reporting career in Evansville, Indiana and then moved to WISH-TV in Indianapolis. I later moved back to Chicago to work in marketing and public relations.
