Why Train With Me

I am dedicated to my clients and my vast and diverse coaching and training experience will take you to the next level. I do not follow fitness fads or popular fitness trends. My goal is to help you find the fitness program that aligns with your goals and that you enjoy. A healthy mind and body starts with healthy habits. Results and enjoyment will create the habits you desire to change your life.

My go-to workout

Boxing or kickboxing, Hitting and kicking the heavy bag or focus mits always makes me feel better.

Healthy food I love

Grilled fish tacos made with salmon and fresh greens are heart healthy and a good source of protein.

Healthy food I hate

That's tough but if I had to choose a specific food I dislike it would be asparagus.

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
