About Us

MY STORY

I was never into fitness. In fact, I was in the bottom percentile on the Presidential Fitness Tests in elementary school. I was picked last for the team in gym class, and I always “forgot” my gym clothes on gym day.
I graduated from high school weighing barely 140 pounds. (I realize now that there was nothing wrong with that.) But I was teased for being skinny, and I hated it. I wanted to be bigger, but I also hated the idea of working out in front of people, so going to a gym was out.
I was also one of those people who could eat or drink whatever I wanted without repercussions, so I weighed around 145 lbs. right up until my mid-40s. Then I ballooned to 189 lbs. in six months. I was also a full-blown alcoholic at this point.

MY STORY

Health-wise, I was in rough shape. My resting pulse rate was over 100 beats per minute, my blood pressure was dangerously high, even with medication, my liver was one step away from cirrhosis, and finally, my self-esteem was destroyed.
I woke up late one morning and said to myself as I was pouring a glass of wine at 7 AM, “F@@k this. You can’t do this anymore.”
I immediately called a detox centre. (I didn’t want to go through the emergency room.) They scheduled me for a room two days later.
My last drink was June 11, 2015. I was 46 years old.

MY STORY

After quitting booze, I lost some weight but still ate garbage and didn’t do any type of exercise.
One day, my husband saw one of those fitness tests online, and we tried it. He did okay. I was again in the bottom percentile for my age (just like with the fitness tests). But this time, the test changed my life.
Because of my past experiences, gyms and working out in front of people intimidated me. Not letting that stop me, I started working on push-ups, planks, and sit-ups. I set small, obtainable goals that I kept hitting. So, I kept challenging myself, and I kind of got hooked on that.

MY STORY

The first thing I noticed was how much better I felt and that my anxiety was down. I also noticed I was moving a little better and was starting to lose weight.
I was hooked After a couple of years of following a regular fitness program, I wanted to help other people feel good about themselves and become healthier as we age.
I started a personal trainer course in 2020, but COVID and untreated ADHD threw a wrench into those plans.

MY STORY

I believe things happen for a reason, and apparently, I wasn’t ready five years ago. Five years later, that passion for fitness and wanting to help other people meet their goals has never died.
I just came from the doctor today, and he told me that this is the healthiest he has seen me. I am 56.
My doctor has seen me at my worst, and now he tells me, “Keep doing what you’re doing.
If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about making a change. I want people to realize that it is never too late to start a fitness program.
It is the best gift we can give to ourselves and those we love.

WHY BALANCE TRAINING?

Reduces the risk of falls, sprains, and joint injuries; especially to the ankle and knee. This may help you maintain your independence as you get older.
Strong balance will help you in everyday situations, like slipping on wet surfaces, walking on uneven ground, or walking over black ice (trust me on this one).
Improves postural alignment and muscle coordination.
Balance training is used in physical therapy because it retrains the body to maintain joint integrity and prevent re-injury.
Balance training will help with everyday functionality, such as carrying groceries, walking up and down the stairs, climbing ladders, or using step stools.
