The way I became a Trainer is a God Story.
Fitness has become my ministry - my “FITNESSTRY”
God 1st, Serve 2nd - I am here to serve YOU!

My Story: I’ve been a fitness professional for 12+ years. It took prayer and a huge leap of faith in 2006 leaving a career in corporate America to start a fitness business – my “fitnesstry”. I diligently worked hard, networked and partnered with the “movers and shakers” of community health in the Inland Empire, which consists of several Cities in the County of San Bernardino, California. I was Owner Operator at KATz Outdoor Fitness Inc (2006-2010) • Trainer for City of Fontana’s Employee Wellness challenge • Opened the first Women Only Outdoor Adventure Boot Camp in Redlands, 2007 • Started a low cost boot camp in the City of Fontana,
From 2007 through 2010 • I worked in partnership with different Healthy Communities in the Inland Empire, County of San Bernardino, Healthy Families International, Desert Sierra Health Network, Network for Healthy California Physical Activity Committee, Redlands Unified School District and a few others. • Presented at numerous events including Kids Fitness Challenge, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Walk/Run, City of Fontana Kids Health & Safety Fair, County of San Bernardino Health & Safety Fair, Rancho Specialty Hospital Bariatric Support Group and Inland Behavioral Health Diabetes Support Group.
Fast forward to now, living in Las Vegas, I have worked at the YMCA of Southern Nevada since 2010 in several capacities. For non members of the Y, I am accepting personal clients and small groups like family boot camps or giving Wellness Workshops.
