My Passion for Fitness

As a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University, I have a double major in Exercise Science and Health and Wellness Promotion.  Fitness and nutrition has always been a passion for me ever since age five when I fell in love with Mickey-Mouse “mousersize”.  Throughout high school I participated in sports; competing in track, softball, soccer, and basketball.  Yes, I was one of those four varsity sport athletes and still made time for weight training and cardio on the side for pure enjoyment.

The College Years

Throughout college I played softball for Indiana Wesleyan and by my freshman year of college I had received my group exercise certificate from AFAA so that I could spend my summers and free time teaching group exercise.  It should also be known that my freshman year of college I met my fiancé (Doug Brooks) who was born and raised in Covington, Ohio.  By my sophomore year of college I received my personal training and fitness counselor certificate as well as a Pilates instructor certificate. Now, I have added AFAA’s Tele-fitness certificate and am very excited about my career at Fitness Layne.  Fitness Layne is truly a one of a kind experience with a future full of promise.

My Future

In August 2006, I married the love of my life and we started our new life together.  Starting next spring I will go through a one year masters program in Exercise Science where the focus will be on rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Throughout my life, I plan to help individuals in all stages of ones life find a love for taking care of their bodies through wellness as a whole. 

My Personality Bio

I love people in general, but I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family in Zanesville, Ohio. I enjoy my new life in the Troy area, and am very excited to be marrying into another great family.  Besides always having full schedule, being outgoing and constantly meeting new friends, I always make time for 3 things 1. My faith  2. My family/friends and of course 3. My health.
