Fitness Your Way, LLC

My personal quest for fitness began as an overweight teen. Like many, I would try every new diet that came along, but the results were only temporary. It wasn’t until later in my 20’s - when I realized the importance of healthy eating combined with proper exercise - that I was able to make a definite change in my life. I was finally able to maintain my desired body weight, one I could only dream about in the past.

By the time I reached the age of 50, I had become overwhelmed by what seemed a lack of health in many of the people I came across every day. There were overweight people everywhere! I wanted to do something about it. I wanted to provide help to others who also struggled with weight issues and were looking for a solution. My path led me to Bryan University in Phoenix, and after a year and a half of studies I earned an Associates Degree in Advanced Personal Training and Exercise Science, which included CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) certification from NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). I then worked toward the SFS (Senior Fitness Specialist) and WFS (Women’s Fitness Specialist) certifications.

Through extensive research and interviews over a wide demographic I found common barriers that still exist today, barriers that kept many from taking the steps I had taken years before. What I learned became the basis for my approach to Fitness Training. I believe that long-lasting results will be achieved if one works within a program specifically designed for “their way”. For some, that might mean not being stuck in a gym using machines all the time, or feeling like they are being scrutinized by others, or not knowing what exercises would work best for them because they can’t afford a trainer. Many have a busy lifestyle and would want the freedom to workout at their own pace and at whatever time they desire.

This is what Fitness Your Way is all about: determining your exercise preferences, your schedule, your strengths, your timeline for achieving results, and last but not least, your budget. We can then set up a plan to bring about a new you for the rest of your life. Yes, no two people are alike, so each person’s journey to their ideal body will have a path of its own.

Your individualized program will be tailored to your specific needs, starting with where you are right now, and then with your goals in mind, we will work closely together to attain them. As your coach/mentor/motivator - or drill sergeant, if that’s your style - I will give you the tools to get you where you want to be, and help keep you there. You bring the desire to succeed, the program will provide the motivation and support to follow through. And together, we’ll do Fitness Your Way.
