As a former professional Broadway dancer, I have always been driven by athleticism and movement. Fitness has evolved greatly over the years and I have enjoyed being a part of the journey, from high impact aerobics in the early 90’s, to bootcamp style workouts, body sculpt classes, spin classes, yoga, and more. My extensive experience covers a wide scope of the fitness industry, and includes accredited certifications in personal training, yoga, and nutrition. Whether you are an athlete looking to take your sport to the next level, someone with chronic injury seeking to alleviate pain through increased flexibility and strength, or someone who has never worked out before, my sessions are designed to balance hardcore with heart. As your trainer, I create workout plans specifically tailored to you, as there is no goal more important to me than guiding you to your optimal health and fitness.
STRENGTH TRAINING
Beyond building muscle and becoming physically stronger, there are a multitude of health benefits to strength training:
- Increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
- Boosts metabolism, which allows you to burn more calories at rest.
- Improves heart health by decreasing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and improving blood circulation.
- Improves brain health and cognitive function, especially in older adults.
- Improves self-confidence and overall well-being, as the release of endorphins lifts your mood and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.
YOGA
I became a certified instructor at YogaWorks in
the 1990s and continue to consider the practice of yoga
extraordinarily beneficial both for me and my clients.
Studies confirm numerous mental & physical benefits of yoga:
- Improves flexibility, balance, and strength.
- Eases back pain and symptoms of arthritis.
- Improves heart health and decreases the risk of heart disease.
- Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression by influencing hormones in the body.
- Promotes improved sleep and overall quality of life.
NUTRITION
- Proper nutrition is vital for our health and well-being. However, navigating the many trending diets can be overwhelming: Paleo, Keto, Low carb, Gluten-free, Vegan, Mediterranean, Intermittent Fasting and more. Every person has their own unique relationship with food. As a certified nutrition coach, I will work with you to create the best possible nutrition plan for optimizing a long-lasting, healthy lifestyle.
