My Mission

My mission is to be able to help people reach heights they thought they weren’t able to. I was lucky enough to have good guidance which I, to this day attribute them my successes. However, I also believe that you have to want change for yourself, before you can open yourself to guidance from others.

Why Train With Me

The reason any client how feels like a good fit should train with me is because I can say with absolute certainty that I’ve been in their shoes. I’ve been anorexic, but was able to build muscle and healthy lifestyle. I’ve also had eating issues, but built a solid foundation for everyday nutrition. To finish, I put myself through the most rigorous certification process so I can help anyone.

My go-to workout

I love weight/body weight training, so I use mainly free weights, and do controlled sets and reps!

Healthy food I love

Apples Strawberries Green Beans Broccoli Cauliflower Chicken Beef Lentils Potatoes

Healthy food I hate

Lima Beans Bananas Brussel sprouts Avocados Onions

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!"
