My Philosophy (fitness, exercise, wellness, health)

To inspire and motivate, members and clients to lead healthier lives!

As health professionals we have the opportunity to help our members change for the better, not only physically but emotionally as well.

When you acknowledge a member/client by name, comment on a job well done or just offer a friendly smile, connections are made. When we also allow ourselves to show our own imperfections and accept them , it helps to breakdown those barriers that they may have. Along with the proper exercise prescription, compassion, understanding and acceptance are the keys to helping members/clients lead healthy happy lives.

When a person feels part of something and enjoys what they are doing and who they are doing it with, that is when it clicks and becomes their lifestyle!

My favorite quotes

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication.  It will require willpower. You will need to make healthy decisions. It requires sacrifice. You will need to push your body. There WILL be temptation. But I promise you, when you reach your goal, it’s worth it!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Change the way you think about getting fit; make it a joy instead of a burden.
