I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, an IFBB Pro Bikini Competitor, and Mother. 32 years ago, I began my fitness career in management at a Golds. Shortly after I began working out and changing my diet. Once I saw the changes in my body, I developed a passion for fitness and helping others do the same. I thought if I can do it, so can they. My love for helping others tied in with my years of experience is what makes my coaching so successful.

My journey in fitness began in my early teen years. The pivotal moment was when a soccer coach's misguided advice to lose weight spurred me into seeking guidance from physical therapists and trainers. This experience not only reshaped my perspective on fitness but also fostered a healthy relationship with nutrition. Fueled by passion, I pursued my education, channeling my experiences into a career dedicated to helping clients achieve their optimal look and feel.
Coach Tommy
From the age of 12 to 20 I was fighting addiction on the streets of Baltimore city. When I turned 19, I moved to Virginia with my mother and step father. In my efforts of trying to stay out of trouble I found that idle time was a problem for me. At the end of the workday, I didn’t have anything to do and didn’t know anyone in the area so out of boredom I began lifting some old weights I found in the garage. Something funny happened when I finished working out…I felt great! Don’t get me wrong, exercise was very difficult at the beginning especially after 9 years of destroying my body. But I refused to give up. Quickly, working out became a part of my life. Wanting to take my fitness to the next level, I went in search of a gym. The day I stepped foot into a gym, and I felt at home. I felt like I belonged there. Something moved me to just go up and ask one of the trainers how I can become one of them. He told me I needed to get certified and told me where to go. I attended some classes, took their test, and passed. A few of the senior trainers took me under their wing, encouraging me to pick up more certifications and better myself…so I did. 16 years ago, I Slowly started building a reputation. I felt I could relate to my client’s struggles and told them if I could change my life so can they.
Coach Yong
My passion is to help people, it always has been. I love that I’m in a position to guide and mentor those who seek to look and feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. I get the opportunity to push people past their boundaries, surpass their limitations, and attain what they think is unattainable so that they can improve. Helping my clients make a positive change in their quality of life and wellbeing is what drives me to do what I do. It’s been a blessing and privilege to work with each individual that I have. I'm grateful for the countless number of hours that have accrued in changing people’s lives over the years. There’s nothing else I’d rather do!
