About Me

I am currently offering my personal training services and teaching classes at Healthy for Life 3350 100th Street in Urbandale. I am also a wife and mother of two very active kids under 10 years old. A regular exercise program has helped me stay fit and toned and maintain a busy lifestyle. Physical fitness is my passion and my enthusiasm is contagious.

I am professionally certified by ACE, The American Council of Exercise. The American Council on Exercise is the largest nonprofit fitness certification and education provider in the world. Widely recognized as "America's Authority on Fitness," ACE continually sets standards and protects the public against unqualified fitness professionals and unsafe or ineffective fitness products, programs and trends.  I continue to strive to ensure a safe, comfortable environment for both client and trainer by requiring no one-on-one training with male clients in a private setting either at a facility or in home.

Setting Professional Standards
Since its founding in 1985, ACE has certified more than 200,000 health and fitness professionals in the United States and 77 other countries. ACE certification exams are standardized, broad-based tests of the knowledge necessary to safely and effectively instruct one on one, lead group exercise, and consult on lifestyle and weight-management issues. ACE also offers a clinical exercise specialist certification for fitness professionals who work with clients who have recently recovered from injury or illness.

In 2003, the American Council on Exercise was granted accreditation for all of its certification programs by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). ACE is one of a few select certifying organizations in the entire fitness industry whose programs have been accredited.

Through the ACE Academy, ACE-certified Professionals plan for and maintain their certification through exam preparation, practical training and continuing education. The Academy offers opportunities for fitness professionals to enhance their credentials at all levels.
