Barbara P.

I have been a personal trainer for 4 years working with clients of all ages and body types from children to seniors. I have practiced yoga my whole life and teach Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, and Yin Yoga classes. I also teach hula hoop classes and private lessons. My certifications include: ACE Personal Training, TRX, YogaFit, Yoga Works, and Hoopnotica. I am also an Institute for Integrative Nutrition and AADP Certified Holistic Health Coach.

I work with clients to help them achieve their personal health goals. I have helped clients safely lose weight (if necessary) and build muscle, improve their mobility, balance, and flexibility. I find that as my clients achieve a new level of fitness they also develop a newfound confidence. I love utilizing bodyweight exercises, yoga, TRX, kettlebells, and free weights in my clients' sessions but ultimately I use the equipment best suited for each client.

The session varies based on the client's goals and needs. I always begin the session with a dynamic warm up, then work on posture and balance, then strength training going from larger muscle groups to smaller muscle groups with cardio intervals included, and ending with static stretching to release lactic acid and increase flexibility. I am an encouraging trainer who listens to my clients' concerns and needs.
