About
My diverse background coupled with strong customer service skills and a passion for fitness has been the key to my success as a Trainer, Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist and Group Fitness Instructor. I graduated from Gettysburg College in 1983 with a degree in Economics. I spent the next ten years in customer service management yet my position as Associate Director of the Health Care Advisory Board in Washington, D.C. was pivotal in my career change. In 1994 I became certified in Group Fitness enabling me to work part-time while raising 3 children. My class specialties included floor, step and water aerobics, Pilates matwork, sports conditioning, flexibility and kick boxing. In 1998 I earned my Personal Trainer certification from A.C.E. and began my company Fit4Life. In 2007 I received my certification as an Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist (Gold Certified originally as a Clinical Exercise Specialist) in response to my interest in working further with individuals referred to as 'Special Populations' with additional health concerns and needs. 6,500 training hours later I can honestly say that working with clients is not a job but my true passion. My unique, caring approach focuses on clients working toward a self-sufficient fitness related life style. I work in conjunction with numerous health care professionals to provide safe, appropriate and enjoyable programs for my clients, each with an individual approach. I am always available to discuss ideas or concerns. I look forward to speaking with you. "Get addicted to fitness".
