What keeps you motivated to stay fit?
The main reason that I stay fit, other than for health, is so that I am always able to participate in physically challenging activities. I can’t imagine having to turn down a long hike, a 30 mile bike ride or a ten mile run because I am out of shape and need to train for it first. So much of life is spontaneity, and I would like to have the ability to keep it that way!

What have you been training for lately?
For the last three years, I have mainly been training for and competing in triathlons. After participating in sports for so long, I needed something else to channel my competitive energy. A while back, I was the runner in a triathlon relay and I noticed the amazing level of energy and camaraderie the sport possessed. I decided to give it a try, and now I am hooked!

Do you just train athletes?
No. I train people (mostly women) of all shapes, sizes, ages, and experience. I have clients in their sixties that have never lifted a weight or seen a treadmill, and I have clients who are in junior high school and are training for a sport. That is the beauty of personal training and fitness: exercise is for everyone!
