When I began personal training, it was the best move in my career. I started personal training on a part-time basis and soon after found that the best part of my day was when I had the opportunity to meet with my clients and help them to work toward their goals; whether it’s to lose weight, gain strength, train for a triathlon, marathon, 5k, or any other type of event. I am blessed to be able to say that I truly love my job!
“I can't say enough positive things about Angie. She has truly found what she is good at! In the beginning, she listened to what I wanted what my ultimate goals were and provided a plan that far exceeded my expectations (performance and strength wise). I just wanted to be more comfortable in the water and with her plan; I shaved 11 minutes off my sprint tri time from last year! She currently created a plan to assist me in getting ready to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro. She understands my level of performance and is in-tune with my abilities. She was realistic in the plan she created for me. And on top of that, it's not your standard weight-room boring workouts. The strength training regimen she has me on is awesome! I love to do these workouts! Way to go Angie! I owe so much to her and in how she helped me with my personal health. Thank you!”

I want to be able to help others achieve their goals. I work with a variety of people helping them achieve goals from finishing/competing in an event to weight management. Training at the Y is a great experience. You can walk into the fitness center knowing what you have to accomplish with that workout. No more useless workouts. Whether you want to train for a marathon or lose 10 lbs. training at the Y, I will get you there.
I have a client who came to me one day and said “I want to do a chin-up.” I said okay, it will change your current program a little, but I think you can do it. I changed her program to meet the strength needs she would need to do a chin-up. She started from the bottom doing a high assisted chin-up and every week we would decrease the amount of assist needed. She was still being assisted a little and I said “try one, with no assist.” She thought she couldn’t do it, I thought she could. She did. In 2 months she was able to do one chin-up in six months she was able to do six.
