Experience: I have served as a personal trainer and group instructor at Body Mechanix since 2013.
Why Personal Training: Like many people, I struggled with being overweight for my entire life despite trying various diets and workout programs. Although I was able to lose weight, I always regained it because I fell into my old, unhealthy habits.
After I gained an excessive amount of weight, my son, who was a high school varsity athlete, dragged me to the gym. It was time to make major lifestyle changes to improve my health. By consistently exercising and making healthy nutritional choices, I was able to lose over 75 pounds, to build lean muscle mass, and to become a well-conditioned athlete. Now I am in the best shape of my life and continue to embrace and to practice a healthy lifestyle.
During this transformation, I also discovered my passion: fitness. I decided to become a personal trainer to share my passion and knowledge with others so that they could achieve their fitness goals and could improve their quality of life. I am excited to be in a position in which I can help others to learn how to be healthy and to enjoy life to its fullest.
Why Body Mechanix: I choose to train at Body Mechanix because I love the supportive community atmosphere created by and for the trainers, clients and members. Body Mechanix values continuing education, and the collaborative learning environment helps me to improve my training and coaching skills constantly in order to provide an excellent program tailored to my clients’ individual needs.
