Personal Trainer Overview

I truly have a servant's heart and I want to guide a client to live the BEST, the healthiest, the fittest lifestyle possible!

Training Philosophy

I believe life really is about balance and it’s not cliché to say so. We have Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual needs and I will customize a program specifically for you that will balance and satisfy those needs. Each customized program (based on a variety of training styles) starts will a full body assessment and composition, a structural integrity assessment and a nutrition evaluation. My goal is to inspire you to pursue the benefits of a healthier lifestyle and to utilize fitness as a way of life and not something you have to do. Making changes is not easy but that’s why I am here to provide you with knowledge, moral support and encouragement along the way to get the life you want, need, and deserve!

Education

Bio

I honestly am a “Jane of all trades”. I have a B.S. Degree in Exercise Science and Kinesiology, I am a NASM (National Academy of Sports Medice) certified personal trainer, a Parisi Speed School Coach, I am certified in Nutrition through APEX and DotFit, and I am CPR/AED certified. I love and have played every sport and went on to play volleyball in college in California. I started coaching 12-16 year olds in volleyball in 2001 and have continuously done so throughout the years. I have many who have moved on to play at the college level and 2 ladies have been on teams that have won National Championships. During college, in addition to coaching, I worked as a PT Aide and there I gained the skills and the knowledge from some of the best Physical Therapist in California. I learned the Feldenkrais techniques, including self-myofascial release and trigger point therapy, also therapeutic exercises, therapeutic stretching and therapeutic massage. After college I worked as a Pysiotherapist for 4 years practicing the same techniques I learned in school and as an Aide. I was helping people live healthier and pain free lives. When I moved to Idaho 12 years ago, I started working as Personal Trainer at Gold’s Gym Parkcenter, now Axiom. I quickly found my niche as a pre and post rehabilitation specialist. My abilities, my client successes and my hard work ethic led me to become one of the top trainers at Gold's for the 4 years I was there. I have a passion for helping people reach their health and fitness goals and to live a pain free life! My successes come from my clients that have done so; in order for me to succeed you need to succeed. Call me today at 208.841.9890 and let us succeed together!
