We can’t become what we need by remaining what we are.
Max Dupree
Do you have a desire to lose weight and be healthy? If so, are you taking the appropriate steps to get there? Often we have good intentions of exercising and sticking to a healthier eating plan, but other things get in the way, and we sabotage ourselves.
For a more optimistic and realistic strategy formulate a successful plan by breaking down your goal into several smaller steps. Enjoy the journey to a healthier YOU!!

Last weekend a friend and I went on a run to prepare for the Girlfriends Half Marathon this coming Sunday. I let her pick the place since she trains alot more than I do! She suggested the Frenchman’s Bar/Vancouver Lake Trail. It was beautiful, even in the rain!!! I’m embarrased to say after living in Clark County for 18 years I’ve never been to either park before. So for those of you that haven’t had the pleasure of visiting these local sites, please take the time and experience them. The trail is approx. 3.7 miles, and connects the two parks. If you’d like to run or walk a longer distance check out www.mapmyrun.com Frenchman’s Park is 120 acres on the Columbia River. Vancouver Lake Park has 234 acres. Enjoy beautiful views of Mt Hood, Mt Adams and Mt St Helens, wildlife and migratory waterfowl. No park fees in the winter months. So get outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery right here in our own backyard!!

I like variety in my training and so do most of my clients.
Studies show better results in weight loss and increased lean mass and bone mass when you change up your routine with different stimulus. Not to mention it’s a lot more fun to train that way!
In my private studio, I have top of the line equipment including Precor strength seated and standing eliptical machines, TRUE treadmill, Paramount and TRX functional training systems, balls, BOSU Trainers, balance equipment, a Schwinn spinning bike, H2O Fitness water rower, punch/kick bag, free-weights and more!
Some or all can be incorporated into fun and challenging workouts for private, partner and small group fitness training!
I always have my client’s best interest in mind and design programs to match their ability and goals.
Absolutely! Proper nutrition plays a key role in successfully reaching your goals.
We go over what you’re currently eating on a daily basis, and the timing of your meals and snacks.
By tracking what you eat for a few days, it allows me to see (and you too!) what foods are consumed, how often, and if you’re getting the nutrients you need for optimal benefits.
If your goal is to lose weight, I will suggest a caloric amount that matches your exercise program to help you achieve faster results!
I don’t believe in deprivation diets, just a healthier way of eating for life!
