#relentless That's my personal mantra and I use it for everything from finishing boring household chores to training for half marathons. I fully believe that the relentless pursuit of goals is what keeps people happy, youthful, interesting, and constantly growing. I even started a blog to talk about all the things I pursue relentlessly. www.hashtagrelentless.blogspot.com I developed a passion for health and fitness 10 years ago when I set a goal to lose 100 pounds after being horrifically bothered by photos of myself in my brother's wedding. I've come awfully damn close without quite hitting that goal, but I've never stopped pursuing it (relentless!) and this is the year it's going down. I'm overhauling my professional life to make it happen and I want to help others accomplish their health goals while I'm at it. I hold a national personal training certification through NASM and I'm currently pursuing an additional certification as a Weight Loss Specialist. Nothing gets me more excited than helping people realize that they're capable of so much more than they think, and empowering them to get after it! If you're looking for a trainer, a fitness buddy, an excellent membership sales rep, or just someone to share the struggle with, please reach out! I love making new contacts who share my interests.

Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor & Membership Sales @ The Grove Fitness Club & Spa is located within a 5-star hotel in downtown Boise. As such, we provide exemplary services to our clients in a gorgeous location. In my current role I meet with clients to assess their fitness goals, record all of their starting data, then cooperatively develop a customized training plan to meet their needs. It's a team effort to create a plan that includes exercise modalities that are both challenging and appealing to the client. Enjoying their workouts greatly increases exercise adherence, so it's worth the effort to come up with a plan that's fun and challenging but attainable. I also provide guidance on nutrition and supplementation, and am currently pursuing an additional certification as a Weight Loss Specialist. As a group fitness instructor, I teach classes like spin, step aerobics, and total body conditioning (a combination of strength training and cardio endurance). Working as a membership salesperson at our front desk allows me to get to know all of our members, not just the ones who take classes or utilize personal training. We have an amazing membership base, and I love meeting everyone who comes through our doors. It's important to me that we provide outstanding customer service to every member, and I enjoy being the happy face they see on their way in every day.
