Summary
Highly motivated and knowledgeable personal trainer/group fitness instructor with sixteen years of experience in the field. In both the individual and group setting, I have demonstrated my ability to apply useful, tactful and safe advice to individuals regarding their fitness program and related equipment. Energetic and motivating, always encouraging clients to reach maximum performance. I've found my strongest skills are relationships and interpersonal skills when interfacing with clients and teammates. I have created and run a successful group exercise and personal training business because of these skills. I am enthusiastic about fitness and health and I am passionate about sharing this enthusiasm!
