About
I am lead trainer and owner at Make it So Adult Fitness in Long Beach, CA. I specialize in outcome-based personal training for seniors and older adults, as well as anyone who has difficulty exercising on their own. Whether your fitness goal is weight loss, strength gains and preservation, restoring age-related muscle loss, or improving your balance and range of motion, I can help. I also specialize in "pre-hab" and post-rehab strength, conditioning, and mobility exercise for joint, spine, and low-back conditions, in consultation with your orthopedist and/physical therapist. My exercise training designs are specific to each client as an individual person, and each is based on proven methods for achieving that person's fitness goals. I see too many underqualified trainers having their clients do one-size-fits-all routines, including exercises that are inappropriate for bad knees, hips, and low back. As an ACE-certified personal trainer, I pay particular attention to the appropriateness of each exercise and each movement to arrive at the desired outcome without causing trauma to joints and tendons. As an ACE-certified Health Coach, I work with clients to achieve safe and effective weight loss through education, appropriate exercise selection, and overcoming lifestyle barriers to losing weight. I have also been awarded the following ACE specialty certifications: Senior Fitness Specialist, Orthopedic Exercise Specialist, and Weight Management Specialist. In addition to my ACE certifications, I hold a Corrective Exercise Specialist certification (NASM), a Functional Ageing Specialist certification (FAI) a Buff Bones Instructor (Osteoporosis) certification, and an Exercise is Medicine (EIM-I) certificate (ACSM). My client base is comprised mostly of older adults, ranging in age from the 60s through the 90s.
