I’m an interesting combination of athlete - that’s good at math - that wants to educate clients the long-term importance of health and fitness. I always say, pay for it now $$ or pay for it later in medical bills.  I’ve been an athlete since a very young age.  I've played organized sports:  volleyball, basketball, track & field.  I took years of dance:  Ballet and Jazz.  You name it, I've probably played it.  As a personal trainer, I incorporate aspects of all of these modalities into my workouts to keep things exciting, new and effective. Although I loved everything athletic, I went into a non-athletic industry for financial reasons. I majored in Accounting and was the CFO of an entertainment company in LA.  During this career, I saw so many co-workers’ health go downhill as they dedicated all their time to their job to the detriment of their health (me included). So, in 2016, I decided to get back to the health and fitness industry and haven’t looked back. I started my own company in Hermosa Beach, CA called Pivot-Fit that focuses on the 4 pillars of fitness: Training ~ Nutrition ~ Hydration ~ Rest & Recovery. I’ve recently moved back to be close to family and would like to continue to motivate clients to “Invest in Their Health” now.  I currently teach group fitness (circuit, strength and cycle) and have several private clients at 2 gyms:  Heather's Gym & RPM Cycle & Bootcamp located in Libertyville, IL.  I love to travel - have the freedom - and love to teach and inspire fitness!
