Here’s what faith says about her work:

“As a certified personal trainer, I offer different types of training including core strength training, cardio training, resistance training and agility training. Each session includes goal sheet check-ins, warm up exercises, balance work, strength training, endurance and stamina training and/or core training.

“All of my sessions are geared toward the individual and their goals.  I teach my clients the skills necessary to be able to go home and perform the same exercises with basic equipment (ex. dumbbells, resistance balls & bands, body bars, medicine balls) I don’t believe that a person should have to invest a lot of money into being healthy.

“My philosophy is a long-term plan, not a quick fix. My clients “choose” to make a lifestyle change.  I encourage all my clients to set their own goals because I believe that for a major lifestyle change to occur, the person has to choose to take responsibility.  I will help the client formulate what their goals will be.  I’ve found that a lot people don’t know what their underlying needs may be other then to “get in shape.”  Some goals we set together include:  increase concentration, develop core strength, improve sleep, increase energy, weight loss/gain, decrease risk of serious illness, etc.  

“I believe that exercise should be hard work, but not boring.  I never repeat the same session or routine, but I might take some exercises and tweak them or incorporate them with other exercises in a new routine.

“ I currently work with clients in their homes and in my private home studio.  I am also pursuing my Doctorate in Naturopathy specializing in Nutrition.”
