Personal Training With Soul

Connie's Story

I’m in my 50's and I feel physically and mentally stronger than ever!

I became a personal trainer because exercise has enhanced my life, and I want to share that experience with others. I feel empowered by my health and strive to stay “Fit for Life,” which keeps me looking and feeling younger than my age.

But in my youth, I was not very interested in exercise, I was a city girl, I did not want to sweat! In the 80’s, I started studying anatomy and became fascinated by how our muscles move and function. Over time, I developed a passion for exercise and overall health and wellness. I am now an outdoor enthusiast and spend my time out of my studio hiking, biking, kayaking and skiing.

My true passion is helping men & women transform their body by encouraging a healthy approach to overall wellness.

There’s no need for you to guess if you’re doing the exercises correctly since you’ll have one-on-one training and support.

4Why is strength training important as we age?

As you age, you naturally lose muscle strength, changes in the way you do certain activities and how active you are. You are also at a higher risk for conditions such as osteoporosis and bone loss in general. A regular strength training routine can counteract these common problems and help you to look, feel, and BE younger longer! Studies have shown that strength training, which includes things like doing push ups, planking, and lifting weights, among others, can actually slow bone loss and potentially help you build new bone. It can also decrease your risk of falls by helping with overall balance. It is a vital skill at any age, but especially as you get older!

5How long until I see results?

You may be able to see results within 4- 8 weeks, depending on your consistency with nutrition and your exercise, as both work hand in hand. We will work together to set realistic goals based on your specific circumstances and needs!
