You want to get results from your workouts. Whether you have been working out for months, years, or haven't started yet, you want to get the most out of your time and efforts. Unfortunately, I see a lot of people that literally spin their wheels and get nowhere.
It takes both proper nutrition and exercise to get the results you're looking for. Most people don't realize that nutrition is really 80% of how someone looks. To get lean, you have to know exactly what to eat, when to eat it and how much of it to eat. Whether you want to lose fat and/or build muscle, you can't achieve optimum results by diet or exercise alone. By providing you with the most effective training instruction and nutrition strategies , you will finally be able to get the results you want, and look and feel better than you ever imagined. Get started today and see just how great you can look and feel!

I found myself very interested in fitness at a very young age. At the age of 8, starting out in sports, then pumping some plastic by the age of 10 (my brother's plastic weight set). I started hitting the real weights at a local YMCA a few years later. My grandmother, a real "health nut," was a distrubutor for Shaklee, a popular supplement company back in the day. She always made sure I took my vitamins, and I remember how much I loved making protein shakes out of the protein powder she gave me. I started noticing at a young age, the huge difference that exercise and nutrtion made in how much better I performed, looked and felt.
Being fit helped me to excel in sports, especially on the soccer field. I received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Cincinnati, choosing to major in a field of study I love, nutrition. In order to focus better on my studies, I made the hard decision to hang up my cleats. I studied nutrition for a few years, but the slim job market at the time led me to changing majors. The medical field interested me, so I decided to become a surgical tech. During college I discovered bodybuilding and fell in love with it. It was a way to incorporate and apply both my love for fitness and nutrition. In training for my first competition, I totally transformed my body and looked and felt better than I ever imagined. Bodybuilding and my passion for helping others led me to making yet another career change, so I decided take a job at a gym selling memberships and doing some fitness training. The training I loved, the selling I hated, so I decided I was going to get certified and do what I loved most. I did it! I got certified and started my own personal training business. My clients have ranged from a 13 year gymnast training for competion, to a 90 year old woman working on improving strength and improving balance skills. I've helped people of all shapes and sizes, all walks of life. Whatever their goal, I strive to get them the best results possible.
Most of my continuing education and research is on nutrition and fitness, but also anything related to self-improvement. Always striving to educate myself and others, I even worked for a short time at a Jenny Craig to help improve my weight management skills and learn more ideas and strategies to help my clients.
My formal studies, research and experience have enabled me to maximize my ability to help my clients get the best results possible. With a strong passion for helping people reach their fitness goals and making positive changes in their lives, I'm dedicated to my clients and make their goals my own.

Before I started working out and eating right I could hardly walk without sweating profusely. I could barely climb stairs without holding onto the railing, and my leg was in constant pain. Lying in bed at night, I felt like I was going to drown from the fluid I could hear rattling in my chest. I always had migraine headaches, my feet were swollen and I coud barely find anything to fit me, even at Lane Bryant. I wore sweat pants all the time and they were even skin tight. I felt as if I was invisible. I didn't want to go out in public unless I had to because people would just stare at me in disgust. Being morbidly obese, when I would interview for jobs I would get turned down, even though I knew I was qualified. I even went to a plastic surgeon, but got denied and was told to come back after I lost 150 lbs. I even considered gastric bypass surgery. I was depressed, desperate, and crying out for help.
I didn't get any help until I met Cheryl. She saved my life. She listened to me and didn't judge me. I felt so comfortable telling her my story and saw that she was determined to help me. Now, I have all this energy and I look and feel totally different. I feel like a new person. I have my self-esteem back and have all this confidence in myself that I never thought was possible. My knee doesn't hurt anymore, my migraines are gone and my feet aren't swollen anymore. Cheryl has been my guide through this journey, without her I wouldn't be where I am today -- a brand new person.
Never considered "thin" while growing up, I was more likely to be called "big boned" and I've always been conscious and critical of my weight. After looking through a women's fitness magazine on my honeymoon, I made a comment to my husband about wanting to get in shape and look like this really fit girl I saw in the magazine. After his, "then do it" reply, I decided to talk to Cheryl after we got back from our trip. I envied her arms and thought she would be a great person to help me. Cheryl really encouraged me and informed me of some competitions coming up. I was now on a mission! After the encouragement from Cheryl and my husband, I knew I could do it!
I sat down with Cheryl and we came up with a training and nutrition program. She would sit with me each week to go over the plan, how my week went, etc., and make changes as needed. The dieting was hard, especially when you work in an office where food is catered everyday. Training with Cheryl though, really helped to keep me focused and reminded of my goal. I really enjoyed training with her and we quickly became buddies - we trained hard, but laughed harder. Before I knew it I was standing on stage half naked, but pleased to show off my slim and fit new figure. Cheryl was there for me from start to finish, even painting on my tan and cheering me on at the show. She helped to give me the encouragement and support I needed to step up on that stage and compete. Deciding to compete has changed my life. It has given me a new found confidence, more energy, and I feel and look better than I ever have!
Thanks to Cheryl and my husband for their constant encouragement. Thanks to my family, friends and staff for putting up with me.
I was approaching 40, and both my mother and grandmother were suffering from the effects of osteoporosis. I came to Cheryl with the goal of strengthening my core muscles and staving off the effects of middle age. At the time, I viewed any form of exercise as an unpleasant chore.
Cheryl's workouts were challenging but fun, and my stamina and flexibility increased immediately. As my strength training progressed, I began to see curves that had disappeared 10 years ago! Now, at age 46, I look and feel better than I did in my 30's. Cheryl has helped me develop healthy lifestyle habits outside of the gym as well, with advice on diet and other health issues. Professional, motivating and fun, what more could you ask for?
After ending a 22 year marriage I wanted to do something for myself, that's when I met Cheryl.
During our consultation I told her that I really didn't want to lose any weight or put any on, but that I wanted to tone my body up and start eating better. After working out for about 9 months and watching what I eat, I now have a body of a twenty year old. I now can look at myself in the mirror with confidence and finally wear a two piece swim suit and know that I look great. I have also regained my self confidence back after many years dreading seeing myself in a mirror. Thank You Cheryl, you know your stuff!!
