My Mission

Growing up I had a lot of insecurities about my body, working out made me feel in control and eventually, with a lot of discipline and patience, it helped me reach my goals. That being said as I continue to be part of this industry I realized being fit is about more than looking amazing. Being fit is about being and feeling healthy. My mission is to help people realize that, and work on living a healthy and long life, loving how they look AND feel. I want to help clients achieve the results they want and never thought possible while giving them more reasons to view fitness as a lifestyle, something that will make their lives better in many different ways.

"Health is not about the weight you lose, but about the life you gain"

Why Train With Me

I really want my clients to achieve their fitness goals and obtain the physique that they desire in a realistic manner. However, I think what makes me stand out is that I care way more about their wellness mentally, emotionally and physically. Information online can help to some extent but when it comes to doing an exercise with the right form to avoid injuries it’s better to consult someone that is certified and has more knowledge on the subject.

My go-to workout

There is nothing I love more than a good back day. T-bar rows are my go-to back day exercise!

Healthy food I love

Gyros are my go-to healthy food. I love making them at home, they are a quick and easy meal!

Healthy food I hate

I have heard amazing things about Indian food, but sadly is not my cup of tea.

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!"
