Hoping to be one of those 80 year olds out there still running races! I am 56 years old and am a certified personal trainer, weight loss coach and fitness nutrition specialist. I learned to appreciate the mental health benefits of exercise several years ago when I helped some close family members go through severe physical and mental health struggles, which began taxing my own physical and mental health. I learned that my own struggles became easier to handle on a day-to-day basis when I had some sort of daily exercise. Life just gets crazier (even without any kids at home!), but I am happiest when I’m exercising daily and eating right. I love to run--I've done 11 half marathons and 1 Ragnar relay--but have struggled with finding the right cross training to help keep injuries at bay. I love my job because it helps me focus on combining challenging workouts, expert nutrition and fun accountability all together in one package. I am amazed by the human body with its resilience and power to change and adapt. I am even more awed by the human spirit when I see people decide to change their fitness and eating habits. Each journey is personal and inspiring because it’s a really HARD road. I love being associated with people like that and am honored to be able to help motivate them to make these great changes. If you are one of those people who wants some company on your health and fitness journey, I would love to help you too!
