When people train with me, they often ask why I chose a career such as fitness. It’s easy. It’s what I always wanted to do. My mother told me very young to choose a job that didn’t feel like work. She said that if I truly enjoyed what I did, it wouldn’t feel like work.

It took me a while to become a fitness professional. I went to college to become a Physical Therapist Assistant because I wanted the steady income of that job to support me as a trainer. But that didn’t work out. I ended up graduating with a marketing degree and ran my own marketing business from home for a while. But that didn’t work out either. I was unhappy and stressed.

But I had learned a lot. And I was ready to apply what I had learned to what I truly wanted to do, teach health and fitness. That’s the background of why I do what I do. Because I truly enjoy it.

I understand what it’s like to be out of shape. I know what it’s like to gain weight after a child or during a life transition. I know what it's like to get back into shape after an injury or a major surgery. I understand what it’s like to be a tired mom, feel unsexy and unconfident in clothes you used to wear. I get it. Your body used to be able to do certain things, and now we don’t know who we are anymore. That’s why I do what I do.

So I can help you reclaim your life. No matter where you are. Work with me. Not because you admire my website or my athletic body, but because you are tired of beating yourself up. Because you are ready to take your health seriously. Because you are ready to set an example for your children. Because you are here to Lock In.
