I have also developed specific programs for the elderly so that they stay mentally and physically fit therefore preventing injury and/or illness.  In geriatric training there are two main focuses: Balance/Gait and muscle development.  Through exercise routines consisting of standing balancing exercises, vision exercises, water therapy, walking, stationary cycling, yoga, pilates, tai chi and basic strength exercises they can accomplish increased muscle  strength, bone strength and their ability to walk and move.   By keeping them active and physically strong improves their overall quality of life.

I have coached kids in track and field, soccer, softball, swimming and cross country.  I love the simple competitive nature of kids.  I enjoy finding ways to keep them motivated while keeping it fun.  It is incredibly rewarding to watch them reaching goals they never thought was possible.  Being a fitness trainer allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others and it also keeps me focused, balanced and organized.
