Something you may not know about me - how the Fitness St Pete Brand was born.
At 846am on Sept 11, 2001, my life, like the lives of so many others was irrevocably changed and I was put on a different path.
I was 33 years old, 5 years into being a fit pro and had created a wildly successful company doing in home personal training.
While speaking to my fiance, who I was set to marry the following month, terrorists flew a plane into the the building in which he was standing.
Shortly after, I semi retired from fitness to form and run an NPO dedicated solely to finding and supporting Marine line units serving in the most remote and austere locations in Iraq and Afghanistan for 7 years.
During those 7 years I met some amazing people who humbled and inspired daily and taught me the true meaning of discipline, courage, character and dedication and changed the course of my fitness career.
Shortly after coming back to work full time, I became dissatisfied with the status quo and knew I wanted to touch more lives and have impact in a huge way.
I sold my old company and launched St Pete & Tierra Verde's ONLY fitness community exclusively for over 50 bodies with old injuries or joint pain and 5-40 pounds to lose who have "tried everything" without the results they deserved!
The rest, as they say, is history!
