How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I am a Certified Fitness Trainer through ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association), an obstacle course race runner, rock climber, former competitive gymnast, and lifelong fitness enthusiast. I will design a personally-designed workout plan, bring the equipment, music, motivation, and fun!
I listen to diet needs/wants and help to plan and prepare meals, along with education for purchasing groceries or while dining out, as well.
Finally, I am a doctor of pharmacy, NJ registered pharmacist, and NJ certified consultant pharmacist, who can provide information on current medications and also attempt to reduce or remove the need for medications, through fitness and diet.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
There is no secret. It takes diligent, focused work and drive. It is totally attainable! You just need the right direction and motivation.
What do you love most about your job?
I love watching the surprise and excitement clients experience as they begin to see results and the confidence they then have to continue performing the right exercises, with the right form, and are able to start working independently.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am a lifelong fitness enthusiast, and I really have compassion for people who feel helpless about taking control of their health or are at a loss as to where to even begin. I love to help them break it down into smaller components and design a plan that will help them conquer their issues....and then keep them motivated to stick to their plan!
Why should our clients choose you?
I truly listen to my clients and provide them with personal, individualized service. There is no one-size-fits-all plan. It depends on all of the particular aspects of the client's aspirations, life, and goals.
