And it’s free! So, here I am – a personal trainer since 2003.
I fell into personal training as a result of my personal interest in fitness. Working in a psychiatric hospital you have to find a way to cope with stress and, well, the craziness around you. My coping mechanism was exercise – and lots of it. I started out running and logged many, many miles, numerous half marathons and a marathon.
A friend talked me into training for a triathlon and I fell in LOVE!
So began a new racing venture – working my way up to place in my age group a handful of times. My self image changed dramatically during this time. For the first time in my life I was seeing myself as an ATHLETE and I felt amazing.
My career as a personal trainer was largely influenced by this period in my life. I decided to help others find their inner athlete. So I hit the books for a year and a half and got a second degree in personal training. In the past 8 years in this field I have worked with many amazing individuals.
