It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my biography for Fitness Pro Travel.  I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Albion College where I majored in Physical Education and minored in Psychology.  I also am a certified Personal Trainer through A.C.E and certified Group Exercise Instructor through the Y.M.C.A.  Along with my current experience as both the Health and Wellness Coordinator and Fitness Consultant for the Lattof Y.M.C.A, I also have five years of physical education teaching experience.  I feel that my background in teaching and wellness would make me a unique Fitness Pro Travel Instructor.

I currently work as the Health and Wellness Coordinator and Fitness Consultant for the Lattof Y.M.C.A. in Metropolitan Chicago.  As coordinator I wear many different hats.  I oversee staff in our group exercise and personal training departments, I teach group exercise classes (HIIT and KettleWorX), and personal train clients.  As Fitness Consultant I meet with members to build rapport, discuss goals, and present all the fitness options we have to offer.  I have experience working with a budget, revenue development and doing payroll.  I also work on incentive programs, special events and marketing, along with maintaining the wellness center and its equipment, including work orders and contacting the appropriate companies to maintain that equipment.  As a trainer, instructor and consultant I help meet member’s needs by not only providing them guidance when developing their fitness program, but giving them the confidence they need to continue their wellness journey.  Through training, instructing, consulting and other fitness programs I aim to retain members through our diverse fitness avenues. 

My passion for fitness is felt everyday in the success of my clients, class participants and members of the YMCA.  Nothing is more rewarding than helping others achieve their goals and being their support, cheerleader and coach beside them through their journey.  Thank you for considering me for this unbeleivable opportunity.
