Coaching

When it comes to health and wellness, through the years I have pursued a slew of certifications, trainings, and opportunities. i’m an ACE certified Trainer, Stott Pilates Instructor, and an IIN Nutrition coach just to name a few. I love learning more and keep adding information to my tool box. You could say it’s something I am passionate about.

With that being said you might think I wouldn’t need a coach to help with my fitness. After all I know how to coach other people so I could just apply that information to myself, right? Well you would be wrong!

The Comeback

There is a LL Cool J song with the lyrics, “Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years”. I know this because it is often played during cardio tennis. It resonates with me - the idea of longevity, sticking to it and being a presence through the years. Let’s be honest though - many of us do falter and do have comebacks.

Celebrate the Small Wins

Recently in the studio i’ve heard the following statements from some of our students:

“I know I’ve only been coming here a month but already my back feels better and I can tell a difference!”

“At the beginning of class I couldn’t come near touching my toes, by the end I was almost there and that makes me think it’s possible!”

“I never thought I’d be able to do a Plank and here I am doing it!”

Pilates with my Dad

Earlier this year my Dad came for a visit and he stayed with me about an eight days. My usual routine is to workout in the morning before going to the studio. The first morning my Dad was with me I was on the reformer in my office while my Dad was making his coffee and checking emails. He began making cracks about the ‘heavy breathing’ (my Pilates breath!) coming from the office. My Dad is a jokester!

Ageless

One of the activities I’ve picked up since moving to Arizona is tennis. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years but it just didn’t fit my schedule until now. Lately, I’ve been devoting a lot of free time to practicing, matches, and lessons. I am certain my Pilates practice is helping me as well! I always say Pilates prepares you for everything else!

Local by Choice!

I grew up in a small northern suburb of Cincinnati. We didn’t go to the big city often and I spent my time in Loveland, Ohio surrounded by people I knew, reading the Loveland Herald, and seeing myself and people I knew in the paper for sports, volunteer work, and so on.
