Personal Trainer

Owner and General Manager

I had never exercised regularly let alone gone to a gym in my life before 2013.  Lack of exercise and not watching what I was eating led to weight gain all through my 30’s. Ultimately, I found myself weighing 350 pounds with high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low “good” cholesterol and on my way to being diabetic.

In 2013 I made the decision to undergo bariatric surgery as a tool to help me lose the excess weight and change my lifestyle. After losing some weight, I signed up for personal training at a local gym to learn how to exercise properly. I was extremely intimidated and self-conscious about going to the gym with so many people watching the “fat guy”, and for a while it was pretty uncomfortable.

That feeling eventually passed, but I can truly empathize with people in that type of situation – wanting to get started with exercise but intimidated by the gym setting. After a year working with a trainer, I wanted to do more to share what fitness is about, how important it is, and make it more approachable for the average person. I started ActiveBody Fitness to provide a less intimidating, more personal environment to learn about fitness without the distractions and drama of a typical gym.

We strive to offer a top-notch, positive training experience for our clients and I’m thrilled that we’re able to help them improve their overall fitness, daily life, and reach their goals!
