As both the owner of Toned Bodies Personal Training and as a personal trainer myself, I really love my job.  I get to wake up every day and encourage and motivate women of all sizes, ages and walks of life to be the best they can be - not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.  I was inspired to become a personal trainer a few years ago after having an amazing experience with a trainer who I hired to help me work through my own weight issues.  This trainer completely changed my life and I knew then that I wanted to make an impact on the lives of others, just as she had on mine.  To me, being a personal trainer is much more than helping clients through various workouts - it's about inspiring others to fall in love with their bodies, attain and appreciate their wellness and understand exactly how to create and live a healthy lifestyle.  For me, it's about encouraging progress over perfection.  It's motivating other women to push themselves to new levels of awe and amazement.  It's teaching women that they don't have to be a size 2 to be beautiful.  My clients range from teenagers to grandmothers of all backgrounds – it's never too late to get energized and healthy.   I focus on functional/integrated training and I enjoy teaching women that working out and staying fit can be fun, uplifting and rewarding!
