Training Every Age, Every Ability—With Purpose

One of the greatest joys in my work is getting to train people of all ages and stages—teenagers just starting their fitness journey, busy adults juggling work and family, and even folks in their 80s, 90s, and yes, over 100! Everyone is welcome, and everyone has a place in my classes.
How Do You Train Such a Wide Range of People?
This is a question I get asked all the time. And the truth is—it’s not always easy. It takes creativity, experience, flexibility, and honestly, a lot of prayer.
Each class I lead includes people with different goals, abilities, and life stories. So while I plan a full week of workouts in advance, I’m always adjusting in the moment—making things more accessible or more challenging depending on what each person needs that day.
Whether you’ve never worked out before, are recovering from injury, or are strong and looking to level up, I create modifications to meet you where you are. You’ll be supported and encouraged—but you’ll also be challenged in the best way.
My Five Pillars: Strength, Mobility, Balance, Function, and Faith
These are the foundation of every workout I teach. Why? Because these five elements are essential not only for fitness—but for life.
No matter your age or ability, we focus on:
Strength to help you feel empowered and capable
Mobility to keep you moving freely and pain-free
Balance to support safety and confidence in every step
Function so everyday tasks become easier and more efficient
Faith because true transformation starts from the inside out
And yes—I really do work every part of the body, from the eyes in your head to the toes on your feet. Every class is a full-body experience designed with intention and care.
Fitness That Meets You Where You Are
At the end of the day, fitness is not one-size-fits-all. It should be personal, purposeful, and rooted in something deeper. When you train with me, you’re not just showing up for a workout—you’re stepping into a space where your whole self is welcomed and supported.
We move together with intention, grace, and joy. We celebrate progress in every form. And above all, we invite God into every step of the journey.
So no matter your age, background, or ability—there’s a place for you here. And I can’t wait to move with you.
