"Just give it ALL you’ve got!"
My life has always been filled with sports and fitness. At six-years-old, I began playing “Little Miss Softball” and learning Classical Ballet; I continued both through college. My love for fitness is fueled by my parents whose motto is "give it all you’ve got!"
After thirty-something years in the sports/coaching and fitness field, I am still excited about working with people who are looking to change or improve their quality of life through fitness and good nutrition.
I love working at Fitness Factory Outlet because I can mix the best of both worlds: helping people find the best equipment to accomplish their fitness goals and provide them with positive feedback as they continue their fitness journey. Although fitness certifications symbolize a certain level of professionalism and expertise; our Elston customers know "we don’t just talk about fitness, we live to be fit!" I am certified as a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Boot Camp Instructor and Kettlebells. I recently updated my certifications in water aerobics, cycling, kickboxing and Pilates. When you visit the Elston store, you can be assured that whatever your preference, be it cycling, weight training, running or cross-training, we have the equipment and the personnel to help get you to the next level of living fit!

"Life is short….live it fit"
I have been in the fitness industry for 20+ years, and I have enjoyed each and every moment. My fitness equipment sales experience began in 1992 (residential & commercial sales, store management), and I began working as a fitness trainer in 1998 (private personal training, boot camp, post physical therapy fitness). As a fitness consultant for Fitness Factory Outlet, my goal is to make sure that each customer not only chooses the right piece of equipment, but understands how to use that piece of equipment to move them effectively and efficiently toward their goals. Each Fitness Factory Outlet customer is essentially a fitness client. They have a fitness goal and/or need, and I use my experience and expertise to help move them in the right direction. Fitness is my passion, and nothing gives me greater joy than being a part of a successful fitness program for our customers.

"How bad do YOU want it?"
My experiences in the health, nutrition and fitness areas are a little different than most people in the industry. My thirty-plus years of experience in fitness, consists of “tactical training,” which is based on extreme conditioning to ensure a high-level of mental and physical performance under pressure. During my law enforcement career, I was the trainer for new police recruits and my SWAT team as well as other various law enforcement agencies. As a Fitness Consultant at FFO, I am enjoying my new role of working with individuals who are searching for fitness information and asking for assistance with selecting the proper equipment that will ensure positive changes to their health and lifestyle. I am a certified Kettlebell Instructor, Personal Trainer, Cycling Instructor and Group Fitness & Boot Camp Instructor. I look forward to your visit to the Elston store. I can help you find the right combination of strength training, cardio and overall fitness.
