Cleaning House

Life is busy – we have so much on our plates, because of that exercise and nutrition have become chores. We tend to approach the gym in the same manner we approach cleaning our homes. But what happens when you’re not into it? The corners of the house are dust ridden, the bathroom and refrigerator are barely touched, and you left the vacuum full of dust. But what happens when you are into it? You turn up the music and start dancing with the broom, you clean with a hop in your step and are finished before you know it.

This is the same story on how we approach our health and fitness. How many of us only floss the week before our dentist appointments or scrub the tub just before we have visitors? How many of us only exercise before we go on a beach trip or before the summer? Why are we approaching our health and well-being in such an unmotivated, cavalier, procrastinated way? You want to know why, because we turn the music down when taking care of ourselves, it’s hard, and it can get really boring really quickly.

It’s time for something new. Great health doesn’t have to suck, at all. It can actually be a lot of fun and it can add a new dimension to your life that not only helps your physical health but can also make you quite happy. This website is geared toward helping you find passion and find the fun in taking care of yourself. This will be done by showing you a creative approach to health and wellness. Let me help you off the hamster wheel and help you find something different that stimulates your mind and body.

In this game, one size does not fit all; our goals, lives and stories are all different. So contribute your perspective, every difficult task is easier when you’re with friends.  Let’s help each other on this journey; we’re a lot stronger together than we are apart.

As an ACSM certified personal trainer and Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant, I love to push clients past their perceived limits. I’m a strong believer in the mind-body connection and I believe nothing will make you stand up taller than a great session in the gym.

As an overweight child growing up in Massachusetts, my parents and I struggled to keep my weight under control. It wasn’t until I became involved in sports that I finally reached a healthy weight.  Losing the weight had an overwhelming effect on my self confidence; but like so many others, once I stopped training for sports, the baby fat returned and I was again overweight. I had always depended on the support of strength and conditioning coaches, and now I needed to find my own way back to a healthy weight. So, I studied, tried, tested, failed, succeeded and finally am proudly living a balanced life that incorporates fitness. I have learned a lot through this journey and I still continue to study and learn along the way. I have already done a lot of the leg work, so now I hope to pass on what I know and believe. But, finding and maintaining a balanced lifestyle isn’t just about listening. I would also like to hear from you and begin a conversation on fitness, health and everything in between.
