2006 to 2009 - Transitioned to commercial fitness as a Personal Training Director for Brick Bodies, managing daily business operations for the department of one club as well as educating, developing and supporting the personal training staff.  Additionally I trained clients and instructed small group personal training classes.  


2009 to present - Formed Body Serious, LLC to focus all of my time and efforts on the education, success and needs of my clients as a full time trainer.  Initially I operated out of Brick Bodies Green Spring then Padonia locations as an independent contractor and when the Pandemic closed all gyms my husband and I converted our garage to a fitness center to meet the needs and safety concerns of my devoted clients and of our family.   


I look forward to working with you! 


Body Serious Personal Training & Pilates 

Personal training and pilates

I have always been health and fitness focused.  I started exercising and making healthy food choices at the age of 12.  I'd  go for a run, swim and do water aerobics in my pool.  I worked in the daycare center at the local gym at age 14 and by age 16 I was weight training, taking and teaching aerobics classes! 


In college I worked at an accounting firm but also taught group exercise classes and worked as a Fitness Center Attendant on campus.  I took Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at a Martial Arts Studio and learned, in authentic form, the basics of the heavy bag, punches and kicks.  I became the head instructor for their cardio-kickboxing program...those were the days of Billy Blanks and Tae Bo!


I have a double degree in Business Management and Marketing from Elon University/University of Delaware.  I never thought fitness would be my career but when it did, I started taking classes at CCBC to obtain an Associates Degree in Exercise Science/Kinesiology.  So the timeline continues.....
