​

I have been a certified Personal Trainer since 2002, working first in Texas, then relocating to Pagosa in 2006.   In my previous Corporate career I found out first-hand how an unfit lifestyle & stress can subtract quality years from your life and make you feel old!   I specialize in body balance & strength, pre & post-surgery strengthening and range of motion, athletic performance, body fat/weight loss and nutrition counseling.   The techniques I employ depend on the individual, and change as my client progresses.  My classes include Spin, Pilates/Yoga/Core (S.P.Y.C.E) and Total Body Fitness.  An avid outdoorswoman, I understand that you want to enjoy life, be confident in your athletic pursuits and/or just be able to get up and down off the floor when playing with your grandkids!  Call me - I would be happy to discuss your particular needs.
