PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Personal Trainer: My approach to training is to work with clients who enjoy training both inside the gym and outdoors. Currently, I train a wide range of clients and help them achieve their health and fitness goals. Training sessions include: health and fitness evaluation, goal setting, weight training to increase strength and muscular endurance, cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility training, indoor cycling, trail running, and road riding.
ABS Class Instructor: Designed and implemented a 45 minute core strengthening class. This class became one of the most popular and attended classes at Ironworks and Touchstone gyms, with a regular attendance of 25+ members. Class included: warm-up and stretch, core exercises (upper abs, obliques, lower abs, lower back), cool-down and stretch.
Spinning Instructor: Instruct new students on proper bike setup, basic hand positions, and movements. Educate students about the importance of cardiovascular exercise as well as the different Heart Rate Training Zones and the different energy rides. Classes are conducted in a group, with up beat music, coaching, and encouragement.
Fitness Instructor: Set up one-on-one fitness orientations, evaluated members and educated them on proper exercise technique and use of equipment including cardiovascular equipment orientations: proper use, training techniques and the benefits of cardiovascular exercise as well as the different training zones and heart rate/perceived exertion monitoring. Designed and implemented exercise routines using the FitLinxx system.
