FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start all of my clients with an interview to determine their goals and develop a timeline and plan of action for reaching said goals. The next step is to perform a movement, performance and posture analysis. This simply gives me a starting point of reference so that I can track your progress as well as develop a customized program for your specific needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
1) BA in Exercise and Sport Science from UNC-Chapel Hill 2) NASM CPT, Certified Personal Trainer certification 3) American Red Cross First Aid/CPR
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up playing sports, baseball and football but being undersized (and honestly under-skilled) didn't warrant me the opportunity to play in college. I was a frequent member at the gym and never really got out of shape but simply lifting weights didn't feed my competitive spirit. I came across a flyer for the boxing team in the bathroom one day and decided to try out. I made the team, but we were SORELY underfunded. We had to get very creative with different ways to challenge our bodies to produce peak performance. To come up with additional funds we started the boxing club, which was a non-competitive workout group that did boxing-inspired workouts. As the captain of the boxing team I was responsible for leading the workouts. I discovered that I loved helping people get in shape and build confidence so decided to make it a career!
