Personal Trainer Overview

My sessions are 1/2 an hour and are similar to circuit training. We increase your cardiovascular strength and metabolism by working opposing muscle groups instead of resting in between. I believe in safe, fun training. I am also a Pat Etcheberry Certified trainer in Speed, Agility, and Quickness.

Training Philosophy

I believe that with our busy schedules, it is incredibly tough to commit an hour and a half to work out. I also believe that strength training sessions that last for an hour can be tedious and clients tend to lose their focus; which in turn, leads to less energy and less attention to form. So, how do I structure my sessions? My strength training workout is similar to circuit training. My sessions are also a 1/2 hour. This type of workout is usually intense; in addition to a great full body strength workout, you are also increasing your cardiovascular health and endurance. Instead of resting between exercises, we move onto a different body part, and then we return to the original exercise. After a 1/2 hour of strength training with me, I recommend that my clients continue their training with an additional 1/2 hour on a cardiovascular machine (ie. bicycle, treadmill, or the elliptical). By doing circuit training, you can be in and out of the gym in an hour.

Bio

As a teenager, I was a competitive gymnast training 6 days a week, 5 hours a day. Being in peak condition was critical. As I grew, I continued along the path of strength training, and cardiovascular workouts and eventually parlayed my athleticism into a career as a stuntwoman in Los Angeles. Again being in great shape, and knowing my muscles, their strengths and limits, helped me succeed in another fiercely competitive field. Some of the actresses that I have doubled are Jessica Biel, Amber Tamblyn, Lauren Holly, and Sasha Alexander from NCIS. I have worked on such movies as MIB, Spiderman II, The Italian Job, and I even boxed Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby. Most recently, I doubled Amber Tamblyn in 127 Hours. Although I love flipping, kicking, and falling, I also have a passion for fitness, training, and living a healthy lifestyle. As I end my career of smashing into the ground and through windows, I have become more focused on educating and training adults and juniors who want to improve their conditioning, endurance, and strength; as well as, tone, tighten, and build muscle. In addition to one-on-one training, I also offer group agility, flexibility, and balance training.
