I modify exercise programs as necessary, paying close attention to my client’s medical history. As a trainer, I draw on my experience and offer clients a personal approach to exercise in a unique and intimate environment. It is extremely rewarding to assist clients in achieving their fitness goals. I enjoy watching their physical image and self image improve as they learn to enjoy exercise.”
