About

After a career in competitive gymnastics, I trained as a professional dancer and worked in cabaret/theater/TV as a young adult. During this time, I discovered the fitness industry and begun training and working as a fitness instructor. Soon fitness became an obsession and I pursued it as a full-time career. As well as teaching/coaching, I competed in Sports Aerobics: titles include FISAA, NAC and AAA Medalist. I now judge qualifiers for Ms. Fitness USA and AAA Championships including body building events. I became Fitness Director and Operations Manager for Bally Total Fitness in Los Angeles, CA in 2003. Though doing this with much success, exceeding all goals put forth, I was not satisfied with the level of client attention advocacy at these clubs and chose to leave the corporate fitness industry to focus on more advanced and specialized training methods. I now only train clients outside of a corporate fitness environment or at facilities that have like-minded ethics to myself. My specialties include Arthritis Therapeutic activities designed to improve movement and manage pain. I have worked with older adults to promote mobility, independence and health for over 20 yrs, including activities in water. I am also a trained life guard. In addition to working with senior clients, I also continue to coach gymnastics and acrobatics, train other athletes and healthy adults, pregnant women, and individuals with special needs, disabilities and those transitioning from rehab. In addition to having 3 ACE Certifications, I am also certified as a personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and have certifications with The American Aquatics Association, Royal Society of Arts, London Central YMCA, YMCA USA, The Arthritis Foundation, Reebok, Schwinn, Zumba, TRX, Triple A, and many other specialty areas including Pilates Reformer and Yoga. I am also a martial artist with 30+ yrs experience training and in the ring, in over a dozen styles includi
