Hello everyone! I’m Monica and I am thrilled to be part of the Peak Physique team!

My passion is helping people! Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, fit into a certain outfit or run a marathon … I’m ready and eager to help you achieve your goals.

I became a personal trainer in 2011 after going through my own weight loss journey. I was over 200lbs and for my 5’2 ½” frame … that was not good. I started working out in the summer of 2009 so could look good for a vacation. But then I quickly felt better, stronger and healthier and made the decision to do everything the “right” way for the “right” reasons!

I kept a food diary and made small, subtle changes to how I ate until it became second nature to make healthy meals and decisions when eating out. I started working out in my living room to DVDs and then gained the courage to venture out into a public gym. Everyone, and I mean everyone I knew, noticed my changing body and asked for advice. This is when I discovered my passion for fitness and for helping others.

At the time, I was a physical education and dance teacher at a public high school in Texas. But after moving to Virginia in 2012, I made the decision to become a personal trainer full time.

Now I work with Peak Physique. What makes Peak Physique attractive to me (and to my clients) is that I can train you WHEN and WHERE you want! With busy schedules and families, I understand how hard it is to find time to get into the gym. The drive, traffic, etc. alone makes some people decide it’s not worth the drive to the gym!

So let me come to you! Or, if you prefer, we can meet at a local park, community fitness center or even in your own living room.

I can’t wait to work with you and help you as you go through your personal journey!
