Why Train With Me

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. I take time to understand client goals, lifestyles, challenges, and what matters most to them to create realistic, sustainable goals together. I meet clients where they are & provide personalized plans, support, motivation, and accountability throughout their entire journey so they can make changes their future self would be proud of!

My go-to workout

I love variety! My go-to is a mix of strength training, Pilates-style workouts, & incline cardio.

Healthy food I love

Homemade salmon poke bowls with edamame, fresh veggies, rice, and a good sesame dressing!

Healthy food I hate

Asparagus - but tastes change all the time, so who knows? Maybe one day I'll actually like it!

Favorite workout music

A very random mix of whatever I'm feeling! Usually pop, rap, and maybe even some EDM in there.

What people are most surprised to learn about me

I've run two half marathons! Would love to run a full marathon one day!

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!"
