Specializations:
My specialties include training for overall health and wellness, improved longevity and quality of life, building lasting healthy habits, weight loss, posture and mobility, functional fitness and core training, muscular fitness, and strength development. I have an encouraging and versatile coaching style to fit each individual.
I’ve dedicated the past 10 years of my life to the science of health and fitness, and I’m excited to share my passion and knowledge with the members of PAC! As the Director of Personal Training, I’m looking forward to enthusiastically leading the department and all our wonderful training staff. I have my B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison (Go Badgers!). I’ve since worked in a variety of fields including strength and conditioning, group fitness, yoga, pilates, online training and coaching, and of course personal training. Outside of the gym, I love spending my free time with family and friends, cooking, caring for my dogs, and anything that allows me to be outside and active.
My fitness philosophy first and foremost is grounded in the fact that no two people are the same, and therefore no two clients are going to have the same training regimen. We all have different backgrounds, experiences, posture, mobility, strengths, and weaknesses. If you’re brand new to exercise, we’ll focus on technique, mobility, and building a solid foundation. If you’re a very experienced exerciser or athlete, we’ll focus on advanced training techniques that will take your fitness and performance to the next level. Regardless of where you’re at now, with the right coaching, nutrition, and training program, you can achieve ANY goal you set your mind to!
