Owner/Director
I’m an Air Traffic Controller by trade but because of my passion for CrossFit, I completed my CrossFit Level 1 certification in 2019. I try to get in as much research as possible in my spare time to add to what I can offer to members and I’m always willing to give advise or assistance. I also completed a Sports Massage Therapy course to better understand the physiology of the body.
I am driven by my desire to improve peoples lives as Functional Fitness has improved mine back in 2016 when I was an overweight mom of a 2 year old and decided to make a change. I started the FitBox 55ers for our more mature members in order for them to focus on preserving their way of life and improving their day to day activities.
There’s 2 phrases that sum up my fitness philosophy: “First move well, then move often” and “Strength cannot be born from strength, it can only be born from weakness. So be glad of your weakness now; it is the beginning of you strength”
I have been coaching at FitBox since 2021 and have recently taken on the roll of facility manager.
I have been part of the functional fitness community since 2017 and my overall training experience stretches over a decade. I have found that functional fitness has brought balance to (what use to be) a rather dysfunctional lifestyle.
Looking back, the only regret I have regarding functional fitness, is not having started it sooner.
I am passionate about helping people improve their quality of life through physical training.
My training philosophy: “No person has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a person to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which their body is capable” – Socrates
Every person is made of 3 parts: mind, body, and spirit. And I believe functional fitness is one of the best ways to achieve growth in all three areas. Physically you to become stronger and fitter. Mentally you overcome adversity and hardship. Spiritually you build relationships that help you love and care for one another more than just for yourself. When these three areas work in tandem, you experience holistic health, and that is my greatest desire for every person joining us at Fitbox.
Having competed on a national and international level in swimming, functional fitness was a natural progression from the intensity and competitive drive I experienced from a young age. Starting functional fitness two years ago delivered the same physical and mental drive.
I focus on good technique to achieve good performance. In my coaching, I don’t just want to see people get stronger physically, but also be able to be challenged mentally and feel the joy of being able to overcome difficulty that translates into life.
It’s only in resistance when you start to understand how strong you really are!
