Training Philosophy

I believe in taking an all natural approach to fitness. Both mentally & physically living a healthy, active lifestyle plays a huge rule in being happy with who you are. We have the ability to change & sculpt the body of our dreams. Now I’m not going to say it will be easy, cause if it was, everyone would be fit and obesity wouldn’t be a nationwide epidemic. It takes a lot of time, patience, energy, hard work, motivation, & self control. It seems that in today's society everyone is looking for a quick fix or a magic pill to solve all of their weight & health issues. Everyone wants to go from A to Z, but no one wants to make the effort to do all the hard work it takes to not just loose weight, but loose body fat. You can't skip from A to Z or even from A to K, you have to go through all the letters in the alphabet to get to Z."

Bio

Sensei Cassandra "Cat" German is a Certified Personal Trainer, First Degree Black Belt Belt (Dan Zan Ryu Jujitsu & Chin Na), Certified Female Self Defense & Rape Prevention Instructor. Cat focus all of her training skills on all of her client’s goals, needs, and abilities. She has worked with a wide variety of clients ranging from youth to senior. By helping her clients improve their strength, endurance, muscle size, balance, flexibility, etc. she is satisfied knowing she has helped make a positive change in someone else’s life. Being an athlete her whole life, playing many sports such as softball, soccer, track, martial arts (Kung Fu, Judo, Jujitsu, Chin Na), bodybuilding, and basketball, Cat's athletic potential never went unrecognized. In 2007 she decided to challenge herself to get into the best shape of her life and entered herself into her first natural figure & bodybuilding competition with the INBF- International Natural Body Building & Fitness and placed 2nd. Shortly after that, she decided it was time for her to face her destiny and pursue a career in the fitness industry. Believe it or not, Cassandra "Cat" picked up her first dumbbell at the tender age of two years old. She strongly feels that by having a father who is a Master of Kung Fu, with various black belts in many different martial arts , and who is also an athletic trainer, & a mother who was also into martial arts & fitness, she was destined to also become an active fitness & martial arts enthusiast/ instructor.
