I can be a mobile trainer where I come to you to train. I like to utilize Bands, free weights and TRX suspension training which incorporates your own body weight. I can advise on meal plans and nutrition to maximize weight loss. I am all about you and your goals to keep you accountable.

BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION

First and foremost, I love what I do!  I moved to Hernando county in 1994 but am originally from Columbia, South Carolina.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Health and Exercise Science from Furman University, where I simultaneously played on the Division I AA softball team. 

I moved here initially and began a career as an Exercise Physiologist for an outpatient physical therapy/rehabilitation company which lasted for fourteen (14) years.  However, my entire life had been spent involved in some form of exercise, sport or physical activity, and I’ve always had a passion for helping others – so in 2010 I made the decision to combine my love of physical activity and passion for helping others in need and became a personal trainer.  I’ve made it my life’s mission to help those people that want and need help achieving their best level of overall physical well-being.

I am not your average trainer – my years of education, rehab experience and the multiple special certifications I hold, put me a step above.  I also have years of experience training people with underlying injuries – injuries, that may in the past, have kept them from exercising on a regular basis. Examples of such people are those experiencing acute and chronic low back pain, who’ve had knee or shoulder surgeries, and the elderly population. 

My client’s describe me as having a very caring, kind, sensitive nature, and in my quest to help those with special medical needs be more physically active, I obtained multiple specialized certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine in training individuals with cancer, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome and many other physical limitations.
