Exercise comes naturally to some, but not all. I am a perfect example of someone who has had to work hard to achieve my fitness goals, having previously lived a sedentary lifestyle while consuming a poor diet. The teasing and bullying due to my continual weight gain became unbearable. In high school, I began powerlifting and working with a trainer and I knew at that point that I wanted to help others reach their fitness goals too.
I began my career as a personal trainer in Baltimore leading “First Steps,” a program assisting those with medical needs to get to a healthy weight. I then moved to Helsinki, Finland to follow a wonderful opportunity at the prestigious Elixia Itäkeskus training center. I quickly became one of the top three trainers there leading their most popular classes. I currently work at The Colosseum Gym and Personal Training in Columbia, Maryland.
I am living proof that with the right attitude and encouragement, you can make your life better than you ever thought possible. I would be honored to assist you with positive encouragement and guidance that will make you look forward to our time working together!
