Personal training
I believe the ways we crave to move our body changes throughout our lives, and at times, even throughout the week. Some days I want to lift heavy and feel my strength; others, I want to throw on my running shoes and let my thoughts flow freely over the course of a ten mile run. Let’s not forget the overwhelming feeling grounded a hike in the Colorado mountains can provide. Listening to the messages the body sends and having options to address these - day to day and year to year - is the core of smart training and building fitness for life.
My training style has evolved over the course of fifteen years working with clients with various goals. What’s remained constant is my philosophy to train and move intentionally and efficiently. I aim to challenge large muscle groups in various ways that keep the body guessing and developing. I believe in balance within a strength training program, while consistently working on agility, speed, strength and mobility.
Co-founder of Compass Fitness, Denver’s best group fitness gym, I am a certified personal trainer, certified USA Weightlifting coach, 200-hour RYS certified yoga instructor, and hold a BA in Kinesiology. I am also a UESCA certified endurance running coach: I love working with endurance athletes, and offer running and triathlon programs.

Why resistance train for your specific sport?
It should come as little surprise that different sports require us to move and adapt in varied ways. In addition to whatever cardio and cardio cross-training makes the most sense for your sport, it is essential to train your muscles and nervous system to support you and react appropriately as you scale up in distance, volume or speed.
Fundamentals of strength training
Strength training begins with a foundation of stability and muscle activation: only when everything is aligned and moving well can we perform at our best. This is important even if you consider yourself a non-athlete, since a solid, well-activated foundation is essential for everyday movement and reducing your risk of injury.
