Personal Fitness Background

I began swimming at age three and competed in that sport from age five through twenty. In high school and college I participated in women's basketball and tennis. From 1985- 1990 competed in women's bodybuilding, winning the Rocky Mountain States Overall Championship in 1985. Today I enjoy water activities, bicycling, showshoeing, tennis, weightlifting and kickboxing. Voted "Best Personal Trainer, 2000" by the Denver Post.

Training Experience

In 1987 I began my personal fitness training business, Balance Enterprises. I have worked in many of the clubs in Denver over the years. My experience as a YMCA fitness director teaching Aerobics, water exercise, racquetball and strength training has given me a broad appreciation for all sorts of activities where both fitness and fun converge. For me, variety in the fitness routine is the key to a healthy, more balanced life. I enjoy working one-on-one with people in either the gym, home or office.

Training Philosophies

I like to help people find the fun in their quest for a healthier, more balanced life. It is very hard for people to be happy with their bodies. Habits we can change, working with genetics can be harder, mentally and physically. I enjoy helping clients achieve a healthier lifestyle, improve self esteem, and become better educated for a lifetime of healthier living
