Meet Aimee

My girls are in their teens now, but after becoming a new mom years ago I struggled—emotionally, physically.

I lost myself in mothering by putting my kids' needs above mine. While I loved being a mom, feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm became my new normal. I had horrible eating habits and I was out of shape. While I knew fitness would help me feel better, I didn't have the focus or energy to take good care of myself—so I stayed stuck in my rut a lot longer than I should have.

Eventually I decided to hire a personal trainer.

I'd love to tell you that was the beginning of the inspiring journey to my fittest self, but something terrible happened instead:

My well-intended fitness trainer was inexperienced and over-zealous. She ended up breaking my back. Literally.

It took multiple surgeries to fix my back. I was devastated. Depressed.

Somehow in the midst of it all, I had a spark of determination. Even though I didn't know how any of it would be possible, I decided I wasn't going to give up on my dream of being fit and strong.

I immersed myself in fitness education.

As I rehabilitated, I became stronger—physically and mentally. It took years of hard work and rebuilding, but I eventually became:

a certified fitness trainer
a fitness competitor (stepping on stages in DC, Miami, Las Vegas, Boston and Pittsburgh)
a model in fitness magazines
a gym owner
a speaker, workshop leader, and trainer of trainers

Over the past decade I’ve helped thousands of people step out of their self-doubt (and self-loathing) to evolve into the fit, lean versions of themselves they’d previously only dreamed was possible.

The key to my success?

I keep my clients safe by utilizing a research-based approach to strength training and fat loss. My clients enjoy fine-tuned, personally tailored fitness plans designed around their unique bodies, busy schedules, and self-improvement goals.

What’s more? I know how it feels to be a busy parent and professional juggling a hectic life. People like us don’t have time for fluffy, shallow nonsense. We want to do what works. Period.

Evolving into your healthiest self doesn’t need to feel confusing or like punishment.

It doesn’t need to be grueling or taste gross.

Rather, it should feel like a lifestyle shift that builds positive momentum from one day to the next—with built-in wiggle room for the foods you love. Your workouts need to be easy to follow—whether you want to get your sweat on at home, on the road, or in the gym.
