Why have you become a trainer:I became a trainer to help people realize their dreams and goals of a healthy lifestyle. I believe that fitness transcends to all areas of your life. It enables you to be self confident, independent and have a positive outlook. I love what I do and if you love what you do you will never work another day in your life. Just ask my clients I do not do this for the money I do it because I love seeing the changes in your body an in your life. My rewards come from your success!
In general, please describe your experience:I have been involved in health and fitness since high school. Working out has been a passion for me and now I get to share my passion for a living. I became certified with American Council on Exercise over 5 years ago as a Personal Trainer and currently completing my education to be a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant. I have over 20 years combined experience in working with clients from all ages and all backgrounds. I currently own and operate my own studio in Fallbrook, CA.
How would you help an overweight client lose weight:First you must see what you are doing before you can change. First start with a journal that tells me what you are currently eating and note how you feel each day for a full week. Then together we sit down and see where we can improve on your food plan and exercise. I do not believe in dramatic changes all at once. I do not believe in diets that deprive you of what you love. I use the principal that allows gradual long lasting weight loss. Calories in vs. calories out.
