Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

At a young age, I have been involved in various sports, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of staying physically active. However, it was during an internship at a physical therapy clinic that I truly grasped the significance of rehabilitation for different client populations. This experience ignited my curiosity about the health benefits of exercise. After college, my interest in personal training blossomed, and I found fulfillment in guiding individuals through their fitness journeys. Over the past three years, I have adopted a holistic approach to training, prioritizing learning my clients’ needs and goals, and striving to help them be 1% better each day.

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

I am a native of the Tidewater area growing in Chesapeake, Virginia. Throughout my life I have always been an athlete whether on the track, basketball court, and mainly on the baseball field. As a collegiate athlete, I grew a passion for fitness and helping others succeed in their goals. While at Radford University, I graduated with bachelors in strength and conditioning. After spending time with athletic teams, I realized being a trainer is what I wanted to become. My philosophy is “move well, live well”. The ability to stay active and move only leads to a healthier outlook on life.

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

Most people call me “Nette”. I started personal training in 2016 as a hobby and decided to make it a full-time career in 2023. I specialize in strength / muscle building, kickboxing, self-defense, senior fitness, performance training, and fat loss and toning. I can personally relate to those who struggle with being overweight, being that I was for the majority of my life, until I learned how to achieve my own fitness goals and transform my body. Now I help others attain their own similar results in a tailored fashion. My purpose as a trainer is to educate clients on the importance of consistency. Not just with regular workouts, but in lifestyle changes for longevity and higher quality of life.

With roots along Lake Michigan, I’ve always felt at home in the water—but it was through preventive and post-surgical physical therapy that I truly discovered the transformative power of aquatic fitness. Since becoming a certified aquatic fitness instructor in 2018, I’ve helped individuals of all ages and abilities improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being.
