Personal Trainer, Wellness Coach
Love the Y! I started at the George I. Theisen Family branch then moved to the Eastside Family branch. I worked with a diverse group of clients. Helping a lady simply gain mobility to get up and down off the floor to play with her grandchildren. Helping a gentleman achieve balance and strength after a stroke. Helping a young girl build upper body endurance for tumbling and make the cheerleading team. Such rewarding work.
