The workout company is my dream come true.  Carol and I developed our health club from a personal trainer's point of view.  Personal attention and a genuine interest in our client's well being is a combination that works to ensure our members health.  I have a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology/Cardiac Rehab from Eastern Illinois University.  I have been working in the industry since 1986 and am a certified strength and conditioning specialist with additional certifications through N.A.S.M., Apex, and the Parisi Speed School.  Carol and I have three children; Callaway, Carlee, and Carter.  We thank our wonderful members for making our dream come true. 

 

I grew up in New Hampshire, and completed my B.S. in Physical Education, with a minor in Health , at Plymouth State College (now known as Plymouth State University), in Plymouth, New Hampshire.  I have been working in the fitness/performance enhancement field for over 10 years.  I love the challenge of helping people reach their goals regardless if it is general fitness, or on the athletic field.  I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, as well as a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist, through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.  I have, and continue, to compete nationally and internationally in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and am a 2007 Pan American silver medalist.  I believe that individuals should look to better themselves every day, weather it is physically, intellectually or mentally.

I am a graduate of Western Illinois University.  I have a B.S. in Exercise Science along with a minor in Business Management.  I played women's basketball at the NCAA Division I Level at WIU.  I was a team captain my senior year and always strived to motivate and encourage my teammates.  Through my experiences I have found that I enjoy working with a variety of individuals.  I have a great desire to help others learn how to take control of their lives, starting with exercise and nutrition.  My ambition is to motivate individuals in a constructive and positive way while making exercise an enjoyable experience.  When I'm not at work, I like to spend time with my family and friends.    

I have a passion for helping people get healthy or stay healthy by balancing a great exercise program in their daily routine.  I have a Master's Degree in Kinesiology and Recreation from Illinois State University and a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from Milliknin Univeristy.  I have worked with people of all ages in sport specific training weight loss, reshaping, and core training in my 5 years of experience in the fitness industry.
