I’ve been involved in fitness my whole entire life, playing almost every sport you could. Eventually I found my calling in running. I have immense knowledge in cardiovascular training and can help you reach your weight loss goals. I have gone to school for the past 3 years in exercise sciences and other sport related courses in PISE, so I have the most up to date knowledge in physical activity. I have a passion for fitness and I want to implement it into everyone’s lives because I know how important a well put together program is for every individual. I enjoy working with people of all different back rounds, and past exercise experiences. I like to change things up as much as possible and keep my programs fun as well as hard. If you are willing to work hard I know we can reach your goals, what ever they are, together.

After the completion of my Undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sport Science at Western State College of Colorado, I pursued my education in the field and became a certified Health and Fitness Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine. I have worked in the industry as an alpine ski coach, personal trainer, bootcamp instructor, anatomy lab instructor and fitness column writer. My education has prepared me for the demands of the field with intensive background in exercise prescription, exercise physiology, human anatomy, biomechanics, sports psychology, sports nutrition and continues to grow as I work to complete my Masters in Kinesiology with an emphasis in health promotion at the University of Victoria. My education, work and personal experiences have prepared me to work with a wide variety of clientele from those just starting out at the gym to the seasoned member who is just looking to shake things up a bit. Whatever your needs may be weight-loss, building muscle, sport specific conditioning; I can create a program as individualistic as you are
