Personal Philosophy
Years ago, I heard a trainer named Peter Twist describe my fitness philosophy “We don’t crush people. Life crushes them and we lift them up.” A decade later, I’m a parent of a 5 year old girl and know the value of not only making fitness fun but also finding ways to build it into your life even when life gets messy. My goal as your trainer is to work with you to discover what type of training brings you joy and help you build that into your fitness routine so that you can stick with it for a lifetime.
