Owner / NFPT Certified Master Personal Trainer

Growing up on the streets meant the early years of my life were a struggle. Yet through those challenges I learned to adapt and then overcome. It’s safe to say that fitness and training weren’t the first thing I imagined I’d be good at…and yet here I am, owner of Studio 11 and a Madison certified personal trainer. Once being overweight myself I totally understand the struggles people deal with, trying to lose weight or trying to gain muscle! I remember working out with no results but I have educated myself and am very well rounded in fitness and nutrition aiding in fat loss and muscle gain. I enjoy helping change lives and making an impact, because I genuinely love helping people get healthy and that is the core of my success with personal training and bootcamp classes. With that said, I will be with you every step of the way, in and out of the gym. So allow me to lead you, motivate you, and get you to a happier you. This isn’t about fitting you into a cookie cutter diet or work out plan, it’s about coming along side you and developing a healthier lifestyle together. One where we overcome whatever struggle you’ve been facing, goal you’ve been wanting, or hurdle you might have ahead. Don’t worry about feeling judged…i’ve been there. All it takes is one first step towards your best life.

For years I envied those who looked healthier than I did despite the fact that I was younger. I love shopping and dancing among other things and wanted to do those without that little nagging voice. You know what I’m talking about….the one that tells you some part of you doesn’t fit the part. There were influences in my life offering countless solutions, most of which I tried (gyms, diets, health fads) and yet I found myself in the same place year after year. Simply wanting to look and feel good in my own skin and not skimp on my favorite meal of the day: Breakfast! Today, despite being older I honestly feel like I’m there and my new goal is to help you get there too! I’m here to be your trainer, cheerleader, self-esteem builder and encourager. My motto is: Decide, Commit, Succeed. So if you make a decision to meet me at the gym, together we will commit to reaching your goals and I promise you will see the same major transformation I have. It won’t be easy and you may face a few hurdles, but I’ll remind you that YOU CAN DO IT along the way. Eventually, you will have healthier habits, feel better and be more confident about your body. Join me in taking back your ability to enjoy doing the things you love. All you have to do is take the first step and meet me at the Studio!
