Profile:

I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I specialize in Russian Hardstyle Kettlebell Training (StrongFirst Team Leader) and women's strength training. I am also a Black Belt in Kung Fu, and the 9th woman and the lightest and smallest to date to complete the Iron Maiden Challenge (a 53lbs Pull-up, Pistol Squat, and Press), a certified Spin Instructor, as well as certified to train the pregnant and post-partum client. I have been working full-time in the Fitness Industry for over 15 years. I made a drastic career change and left my job as an IT Consultant to pursue a career in fitness and I never looked back. Working in an office did not suit me as I have been an athlete all of my life. I was a ballet dancer for 23 years and then decided to hang up my ballet shoes to study Kung Fu. I obtained my black belt in Kung Fu in 2009 which, next to training and testing for my RKC™ Instructor Certification, was one of the hardest accomplishments that I have ever achieved. I inspire clients every day to incorporate and stay with their fitness routines by setting realistic goals and by keeping their training functional, interesting and challenging. I swear by kettlebell training and strength training kettlebell training, as kettlebell training and strength training not only strengthened and changed my body, but also my mindset.

There’s nothing that makes me happier than watching women rip heavy weight off the floor. 💁🏻‍♀️😈🏋🏻‍♀️💪🏼🔥 . 1 mo ago I proposed to the Iron Body Garage Gang that they train to compete in the next @strongfirst Tactical Strength Challenge in April 2019. They were pumped! . So 3 wks ago we started to work on barbell deadlifts. For most of the ladies this was the first time that they had ever barbell deadlifted. . During the first session I taught them: . 1️⃣the difference between conventional & sumo stance; . 2️⃣helped them to choose their strongest deadlift stance; & . 3️⃣taught them how to “wedge”. . After 2 wks of practice, yesterday in wk 3 we tested their 1 rep max for the lift. . Before we got into lifting I taught them the power breath that we use in hardstyle kettlebell training. This breath helps the lifter to brace her core thru her breath & continue to breathe behind the brace thru the lift thereby creating intra-abdominal pressure that helps to protect the spine. . As we started lifting & the weights got heavier, I taught them how to use a mixed grip when they started to feel like they were losing their grip with a particular weight, but knew that they still had the strength to keep lifting. . 🙋🏽‍♀️Geri got over the anxiety she was having about barbell deadlifts, discovered that sumo stance was her optimal stance & deadlifted 175#. . 🙋🏼‍♀️Liz @erh023 learned technique that helped her to learn how to use her glutes & lower body to pull the weight & no longer feels it in her back & deadlifted 165#. . 👩🏻‍🎤Gena @nursegeeena was a bit under the weather today but still crushed 175# & I know that on a good day, she has way more in the tank. . 🙋‍♀️Lynn @lfmeadors went full on #beastmode & deadlifted 265#. We need to work on the hip finish at the top, which is common when weight gets heavy, but she attacked the mother f-in bar like Xena on deadlift day😈! . We will continue to dial in technique & mindset strategies so that come April these ladies will be lifting really heavy shit! Congrats ladies! I’m so proud of you! . #liftheavyshit #deadlift #deadlifts #ladieswholift #girlswholift #womenwholift #notafraidtolift #strongfirst #garagegang #garagegym
