Barb Seiden

Barb Seiden has been personal training and teaching swim lessons to a diverse clientele for over 25 years! She has been very involved in competitive sports (such as swimming, gymnastics and triathlons) and fitness for her whole life! 

She grew up as a competitive swimmer, and became a certified lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor as soon as she was old enough. She started her aerobic fitness career as an aerobic instructor at The Ohio State University in the late 1980's teaching low and high impact aerobics, and strength training. She had the priviledge to be trained by the Cooper Institute, which is still the premier organization for research-based advanced preventative health fitness practices. 

She continued working in the fitness industry teaching group exercise classes, even though she began a professional career in Human Resource Mangement. Once her daughters were born, Barb started working in Corporate America part time and teaching children's fitness and swimming classes. She realized teaching and working in the fitness industry were her real passion, and went back to school to become a certified Health and PE teacher. She also became an ACE certified Personal Trainer, working for her local YMCA. She soon established her own personal training and swim lesson business, Barb's Personal Training and hasn't looked back since!

Even though she loves having her own business, Barb still teach part time Kindergarten PE and a PE, Health and Safety Methods course for elementary education majors at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA. 

Barb is an avid runner and really enjoys strength training. Her fitness goals tend to be long term, focusing on being healthy and having fun. She loves working out with friends and family, and makes sure she isn't alone when competing in triathlons.
