Consistency in a fitness program is critical for success. It is not uncommon to start and stop a fitness routine many times, or to begin a new diet program only to find yourself back in the same, if not worse, unhealthy state as before. Being successful does not mean that you will never fail, being successful is failing and getting back on course more quickly than you did before.
As your trainer I will help you define and implement your goals, identify your strengths, brainstorm new strategies, and help you reach your full potential. My goal is, not only to inspire and motivate you, but also to have you experience the exhilaration of true health. Once you experience this, you will never want go back to your old lifestyle.
Choosing to adopt a healthier lifestyle is the first step, but you do not have to take it alone. I can help you find the motivation and persistence you will need in your wellness journey and guide you as you reach your potential. Let’s start today together - a healthier future can be yours - it’s right around the corner!

Personal Trainer Pilates Equipment
I love to dance! I am a trained performer for over 18 years. I needed a workout that demanded more of me and that would take me to another level as a performer. I became an avid student of Pilatesin 2002 and observed in myself a dynamic spirit, mind and body shift! It compelled me to complete a thorough teacher training program through the Physical Mind Institute. I am passionate about this form of health and movement because I know the benefits are numerous and I can't wait to share them with you!

I am dedicated to a fit and healthy lifestyle and enjoy sharing as much or as little of this knowledge as you’re willing to take. I will not recommend or implement anything into your training program unless I have experienced it first. As a full-time corporate pilot and husband, I understand the challenges that come with work demands, personal life, and taking care of yourself. Personal training is my passion and I am continually working to further my education in training and nutrition. My past experiences as a Taekwondo and a flight instructor have helped me develop teaching and coaching skills with individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

The better you move, the better you feel. My love for fitness, living a healthy lifestyle and enthusiasm enables me to tailor your program to meet your personal fitness goals. Together, we will make each workout fun, challenging and personalized to meet you needs.
Where ever you find yourself on the fitness spectrum, I believe that if you have a body, you are an athlete. I enjoy taking the time with each client to build a strong base of functional movement. I have been a part of the Tacoma community and a member of the YMCA for over 25 years. I have always had a personal commitment to my own fitness. This passion led me to pursue my interest in personal training at the National Personal Training Institute in Seattle. I recently recieved a diploma from this institute, a state-certified program and am currently working toward my National Academy of Sports Medicine Certification.
