Outdoor Workouts - with boxing, too!
July 23, 2020
My backyard is the new workout area!
Classes are limited to three people and both my deck and lawn are used. Everyone is at least 10 feet from each other.




The large tree provides shade and when on the mat doing exercises, you get to look up at the lovely canopy!


Do you BOSU?
December 2019
Santa knew what I wanted, the NexGen Pro Balance Trainer!
My clients have been using the BOSU for years, and now they get to work on BOSU's commercial grade balance trainer.

August 2019

Hit it hard and prepare to slip or weave as the bag comes back quickly!

Freestanding Heavy Bag
February 2019
This is a great addition to the gym. Punch, kick, move around the bag - lots of options.
Everlast Angle Heavy Bag
November 2018
This new bag is a hit (yes, pun intended)!
Jab, cross, hooks, and gotta love the ease at making those uppercuts now.


Inflatable Punching Bag
Parkies Punch Back
August 2018
The newest addition to the Parkinson's classes is the inflatable punching bag from Bonk Fit. The numbered targets are very useful when making progressions.
Start with a simple 2-punch combo and then build upon that sequence - add a bob or slip and now we're having some real fun! Wonderful for making that mind and body connection.
Parkinson's Conference
November 2, 2018
What an awesome experience to be in a room full of people that work with those that have PD. Scientists, movement disorder specialists, and neurologists gave talks throughout the day that touched on the advances made (such as deep brain stimulation), the heartbreak of trials that didn't go as well as expected, and new therapies that are on the horizon.

TRX PRO Suspension Trainer
May 2017
The suspension trainer is installed and already it's a favorite with my clients. Lower and upper body, and so many progressions on the exercises!



Sandbells & Steelbell
December 2016 & March 2017
Slam, throw, press overhead, press out, hold and do squats, etc...
So much you can do with sand and steelbells.
TRX Rip Trainer
September 2016


A great piece of equipment that can be used for all levels of fitness. I love the movement involved in many of the exercises, the way it engages your core, how balance and coordination come into play, and it works lots of muscle groups at the same time. It's been a fantastic addition to my circuit classes!
Sandrope Battle Ropes
March 2016
Great for one-on-one sessions, fun with partner workouts, and the perfect addition to the Saturday circuit class. These two 15lbs sandropes from Hyperwear work everything! It can be exhausting, you may find it challenging, but in the end you will have had an intense full-body workout.
