About FITT Forge

Throughout my childhood, I was overweight, picked on at school, and just didn’t feel comfortable with my body. Over the years, my weight fluctuated and when I was in University I reached my heaviest – 300 pounds. The day I saw that number on the scale was the day I decided to change my lifestyle and started to focus on my health and fitness.

I lost 100 pounds in 2 years, losing 50 pounds per year. This was honestly the greatest moment of my life. From then on, I wanted to share the same sense of joy and accomplishment with others.

As a certified personal trainer, I created FITT Forge because I wanted to help clients find and build their strength, inside and out. My goal is to help my clients feel empowered to take their fitness and their life into their own hands, and to be strong and capable so they can live their life how they want. I give them the right knowledge, tools, training, and motivation to achieve their goals.

Personal training is what I dreamed of doing and what I love to do. Even though I had a successful career as a financial planner, it didn’t make me truly happy. What I really wanted, was to share my love of being strong and healthy inside and out through working out. That’s why I started FITT Forge. It’s my chance to offer knowledge, strength, empowerment and happiness through personal training that serves my clients best. By tailoring a fitness program that’s designed specifically for them.

I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life. After COVID, I found myself heavier, less confident, and completely out of sync with how I wanted to feel in my own body. I was tired of not feeling like myself so I joined FITT Forge as a member and began the slow process of building strength and confidence again.

Over time, I noticed something else happening: I wasn’t just showing up for myself, I was cheering on the people around me too. In January 2025, I was invited to join the coaching team and I jumped at the chance. As a professor, I’ve spent years teaching and supporting students in the classroom. Coaching at FITT Forge gave me a way to bring that same energy into the gym: helping others feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their bodies.

I’m a Canfit Pro Certified Personal Trainer, DTS Level 1, Schwinn Spin Certified, and CPR-C trained. Whether you’re lifting your first dumbbell or pushing for a new personal best, I’m here to help you build a foundation that lasts.

When I first walked into FITT Forge four years ago, I was feeling completely lost. I didn’t recognize myself anymore, mentally or physically. I knew I wanted to make a change, but I had no idea where to start. The community, the coaches, and the support I found here completely transformed not only my fitness, but my confidence and mindset.

With a background as a teacher, I’ve always been passionate about helping others learn and grow. That experience has carried over into my role as a coach, where I focus on clear communication, patience, and building a supportive environment where everyone can succeed—no matter where they’re starting from.

Today, I’m proud to give back to the same community that helped shape my journey.

I’m a Canfit Pro Certified Personal Trainer, DTS Level 1 certified, and CPR-C trained. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, I’m here to guide you with empathy, knowledge, and a whole lot of encouragement.
