I founded the Training Studio on a vision to change people’s lives with a comprehensive approach to fitness. Fitness cannot be achieved by just performing the type of exercise that you enjoy or prefer. Instead, fitness is a lifestyle change that must include all pieces of the puzzle. This lifestyle change can only be achieved by teaching, and utilizing proper nutrition, stretching, strength training, cardiovascular conditioning and lifestyle enhancement. My emphasis on functional dynamic movements, core strength, balance and body stabilization has created an exciting and very successful program not only on a local level with The Training Studio in Louisville, KY, but also on a worldwide level with a DVD series called Snow Angel Fitness. My never-ending quest for total fitness then pushed me into the exciting world of endurance sports. The Training Studio now has one of the most comprehensive running and multisport coaching programs in the Louisville area. After 15 years of seeing outstanding results with hundreds of clients, I can honestly say that I look forward to every day of coaching.
