Welcome to Functionally Fit

      If you're motivated to get healthier and stronger, you've come to the right place! Becoming Functionally Fit is not just about "Bodybuilding" and I recognize that not everyone wants to look like a "Bodybuilder.”  Being Functionally Fit is about being healthy and strong enough to be functional in your life and / or career, whether that be as a parent or grand parent chasing after little ones or running them to school and sports or perhaps you work in retail, hospitality, in an office, behind a desk, climbing a utility pole saving lives as a paramedic, responding to and fighting fires or responding to in-progress calls for service as a law enforcement officer. We each have unique job-specific performance roles we have to fill. One of my specific interests is in helping others, who want or need to lose unhealthy excess body fat, build skeletal muscle and reverse weight related maladies so they can improve their quality of life and mental well being, for the rest of their natural lives.

     I believe our ability to live into our golden years in a condition anyone would envy is built upon a "three legged stool" with the three legs representing Nutrition, Strength and Health..if any of those legs fail, the whole stool collapses with us sitting on it!  When we follow proper Nutrition protocols and incorporate safe Strength Training...better Health will naturally follow!

     I'd like to help dispel some of the common myths I've heard, particularly from women, who fear that strength and resistance training will make them look unnatural or more masculine. I can also help calm the fears of those who may feel intimidated, or uneasy, about going to a gym...especially if it's your first time. I assure you, no one will be making fun of you!  On the contrary, I find a large majority of gym clients are helpful and quite encouraging.

     As an ISSA-certified fitness professional, I can help you set realistic goals and transform your health and your life for the better. I can help you look and feel your best. And I can help you enjoy yourself along the way.
