As a child, I battled the physical limitations of being born with an extreme tibial torsion. I wore corrective leg braces and shoes my entire childhood; I was always told what I couldn\u2019t do. Throughout grade school, I took part in regular physical therapy to help battle this condition.\u00a0<\/p>

After years of PT, my leg braces finally came off in Junior High and I was able to try out for as many sports teams as possible. I immediately fell in love with athletics and physical fitness.\u00a0<\/p>

Suddenly, my life was filled with all of the physical things I COULD do.\u00a0<\/p>

Once I discovered the true joy that balanced fitness can bring, it became my passion to help others do the same. In 1978, I began my journey in the fitness industry as a fitness instructor at the Barbara Ellen Figure Salon in Maryland. I quickly advanced into management for a few years before moving to Florida, where I continued my career at Nautilus Studios in Orlando. In the early 90\u2019s, I also spent time as a certified Jazzercise instructor and Franchise owner. As I studied more about fitness, I transitioned into one-on-one personal training, which I fell in love with!<\/p>

I have served in the fitness industry for over 40 years and I am truly blessed to be able to use my experience to encourage individuals to \u201cStay in their Green Zone\u201d! With individualized attention, I believe in providing an easy, consistent, and effective way to improve and maintain your fitness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
