I teach women how to do burst training. I started doing this type of training right after I had my daughter in 2006. After having a baby I needed to be able to accomplish a full body workout in a very short amount of time. I needed to lose 35 pounds and recapture my pre-baby belly and I did. With my second child which is now 3 I used burst training throughout my pregnancy and am still addicted to it. Burst training is the most time efficient workout I've ever experienced. You can do this workout anywhere and will see unbelievable results. To be realistic -- you won't see results unless you edit what you eat and eat responsibly! If you bite it, write it! It is more convenient to workout at home and we all have unused or slightly used fitness equipment "taking us precious space". I want to help you achieve your fitness dreams by using the equipment you already have, which saves you money, and teach you how to create your own workouts so you can stand on your own two feet when I'm not with you, which saves you money. I am a guide along the path of your fitness journey so you will need the knowledge that I give you. I cannot be with you 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

Another reason I do in-home personal training is I feel that big gyms pressure personal trainers to sell products to their clients that they don't need, they are paid on commission and have to obtain new clients every month. This puts all the focus NOT on you but on all the other things that don't matter. I, on the other hand don't want to sell you more sessions just for the paycheck. Personal training is not a job for me, it is my passion, and brings me great joy to spend my time teaching you. I want you to succeed and see results.

I believe that you can get all nutrients from a balanced diet and get a better workout inside your own home with a little guidance. I am a big fan of NON-GMO and raw food.

Burst training is a type of anaerobic exercise that will give you the benefits of aerobic exercise (in a shorter period of time 12 min 3 times per week) with the added benefit of building muscle and burning fat.

Education

Most trainer's at recreation centers, corporate gyms, and many independent trainers have certifications that take at best a weekend to achieve. The tests they have to take are open book and are mailed in. I hold a bachelor's degree in Adult Fitness & Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition from Metropolitan State College of Denver, in Colorado.

Certification

Not only do I hold a degree in the field, I am also certified by the American College of Sports Medicine and am recognized as a Certified Health Fitness Instructor/Specialist. For short ACSM-HFI, which is recognized as the gold standard among the personal training profession. The only way to receive this certification is by first achieving a degree in a health related field. Then taking a 4 hour test that is not open book and is administered at a testing center while you are closely watched. So, you definitely have to know your stuff to pass. Many don't succeed their first time like I did.

I am also required to complete many hours of continuing education every year to keep my prestigious ACSM-HFS certification.

I grew up in Kansas on a farm and working hard has been and always will be a way of life for me. Living in a small town sports were highly emphasized and I played volleyball, basketball, soccer, and ran track. I continued to play all sports through high school, was a 4 year letterman in Volleyball and went to college for what I love to do most, workout. It took me 10 years to get my degree in Exercise Science because I worked part time to pay for my education, traveled the world, got married and now have two children. After I got my degree I kept my part time job and started my own business doing in-home personal training. I currently work part time for a shipping company and that is my "home base," my paycheck, my job that pay the bills. Personal training is not a job for me. This is what I love to do, my passion and brings me great joy.
