If you find yourself confused by the mix of fitness advice in the media, you’re not alone.

Is walking just as effective as running?

Will resistance training make women look too muscular?

Do I need to know my target heart rate for cardiovascular activity?

Are Pilates and yoga classes the only ways to increase flexibility?

Is it safe for kids to lift weights?

Just trying to figure out what exercises are right for your goals and how often to do them can be a workout in itself!

An experienced certified personal trainer can take the frustration and guesswork out of planning a fitness program, and help you define and achieve your goals faster and more safely.

I've been training men, women and teenagers in Montgomery County since 1997. My clients have included pre-and post-natal moms, seniors, local and national pageant contestants, and those just wanting to improve their health and fitness. In addition, I am the personal training sponsor for Maryland's Miss USA and Miss America pageants.

Training is a very intimate relationship, and some people may initially feel uncomfortable or vulnerable. Making an appointment with me may be one of the hardest things they’ve ever done, so I do my best to show clients right away that our time together will be a collaborative effort, where I can help them achieve their goals. I also like to regularly introduce new exercises into a routine, as this keeps both the client’s mind and muscles alert.

I strongly believe that the time I spend with clients is their time to feel good, not my time to be the boss. Listening to what a client says and then watching for nonverbal cues helps me develop a program that’s fun, safe, and effective.
