With the knowledge you have gained since starting at Coastal, has your opinion/outlook/mind changed about anything in the fitness world?
Getting into the gym was tough, mindset is that is it for people stronger than me, in better shape etc. that was wrong
Describe your first day at the gym.
With Kelsey – She was incredibly supportive of my goals, knowledgeable about ways to help me get there and very understanding of modifications that needed to be made based on what was my current health needs and limitations.

Served my Country as a United States Navy Nurse for 21 years

Get your foot in the door-that is the hardest
The rest will come from personal motivation, coach mentoring and support of fellow athletes
Who has inspired you in your life and why?
My parents always showed us that hard work pays off, being kind to each other and others will be kind back.
How do you evaluate success?
Personally success if getting home each day, having my family to talk to and if I can give 1 student a “light bulb” or “AHA” moment than that is success
What is your favorite Coastal moment?
When I realized I really could deadlift the weight Beth wrote on the board!!!!!
How has joining Coastal changed your life?
I have more confidence in the way I look and how I come across to others.
