About Me

At 44, I made a life-changing decision to return to college, completing a journey I first began at 19. This path, alongside my success in a specialized rehabilitation program, ignited my passion for fitness and transformed it into a fulfilling career. I stand as proof that it’s NEVER TOO LATE to transform your life. As the head trainer at Tnatious Training LLC, I offer a unique perspective, shaped by personal experiences and a deep commitment to helping others overcome physical and mental barriers.

My Training Philosophy

My training philosophy is rooted in scientifically proven methods, including High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) combined with weight resistance. Through this approach, I transformed my own body from 225 pounds at 27% body fat to 185 pounds with 7% body fat, featuring visible abs and obliques. HIIT is not just effective; it utilizes the "afterburn effect" to boost calorie burn long after workouts end. Pairing this with resistance training accelerates fat loss and builds lean muscle, multiplying the results for every client.

When I took the accompanying photo, I was about nine months into my commitment to exercise three to five days a week. This dedication completely transformed my body, energy, and mindset. I understand firsthand how powerful this approach can be, and I am passionate about sharing my bodybuilding expertise with you. Now, at 45, I am in the best shape of my life and excited to help you explore what is possible for you!

What Sets Me Apart

In a saturated market of personal trainers, my journey is what sets me apart. At 43, I faced a moment of self-reflection that many encounter—a moment of disgust when looking in the mirror. I asked myself a profound question: "Have I given life my all?" The answer became clear as I wiped icing from a donut off my arm. It was time for a change.

Today, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health (magna cum laude), two associate degrees, and certifications as a Personal Trainer and Bodybuilding Specialist from the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). I am also AED/CPR certified and self-insured through ISSA's insurance affiliate, Allied Professionals Insurance (API), with coverage of one million dollars.
