Tonya Pastar

I am a former collegiate athlete, competing in tennis and cross country.  After college I continued to run, coach tennis and became competitive in marathons and half marathons.  I hold a BA in Exercise Physiology and Public Relations, and a MS in Health Promotion and Wellness Management.  I am a certified personal trainer through ACSM, TRX instructor, and Pilates instructor.  I have worked with individuals of all skill levels from the competitive athlete to those with chronic conditions.  During the day I work as a wellness coordinator, and in the evenings I teach Pilates, TRX and Spinning.  When I am not working or teaching, I train for and compete in triathlons.  I compete in all distances up to and including the half Ironman and plan to complete a full Ironman in 2012.  I have a strong passion for fitness, especially endurance sports.  I hope to influence and educate as many people as possible about the importance of health and wellness and maintaining a balanced mind, body and lifestyle.  My prescription for a fit, happy life: Sweat once a day.
