My love of fitness and training developed when I began playing tennis in Middle School and continued through my years at Old Dominion University and beyond. My undergraduate degree in Education from ODU has helped me in my work as a Certified Personal Trainer, IMPACT group fitness trainer, Nutrition Fitness Specialist, Senior and Youth Fitness Specialist and as a Life Style and Weight Management Specialist. Being of Greek descent, I bring extensive knowledge of the Mediterranean Diet. In addition, I live a gluten free, dairy free lifestyle and love to share my experiences with others. A rewarding pastime of mine is converting favorite recipes into healthy meals and desserts. Who wants to give up dessert, right?
Our greatest asset is the ability to remake ourselves and I have found that the IMPACT group fitness program is one of the fastest ways to accomplish this. I always feel honored to be a part of my clients’ growth and discovery on their journeys to both physical and mental improvement. After being employed at a popular local health club for several years, I decided I could better serve the community on my own. I train individuals in addition to small groups, indoors and out, and specialize in tailoring workouts to each person’s specific needs with minimal equipment. With the help of an assessment that identifies functional limitations and asymmetries, I create unique workouts that help build strength and improve range of motion. I’ve helped men and women to increase their fitness levels and improve their overall health profile.
