Train with Jane: Personal Trainer

I am an ACE and AEA certified Personal Trainer and certified PN Nutrition Coach, Sleep Coach and Health Coach. Welcome! You don’t need more information. Period.

I am a Total Transformation coach who helps you become the whole person you want to be. You are already drowning in the information you have. You need to implement what you already know, and you need help figuring out where to start and how to do this. You need better questions. You need someone to hold up a mirror. You need someone to celebrate (and point out) your successes. You need a coach AND a mentor. You need someone to do for you what you are busy doing for others. (Kids, employees, co-workers... the list goes on!)

You come to me for clarity. For transformation. For change that sticks. I help busy women become the kind of person they actually want to be — sharp, self-aware, and grounded in the real messy business of living life to the fullest.. I offer the kind of coaching that gets you thinking differently. When you work with me, you will feel physically and mentally strong, capable of taking on any challenge without worrying that your energy level or body weight will get in the way of your goals. I provide on-line training for busy women who need to build health & fitness into their life, without it taking over. This is a daily, comprehensive program designed to take the guess work out of your health & fitness journey, offering accountability and guiding you to a state of complete wellness

We will consider the multi-dimensional thriving of you as a whole person in your whole life. Not just body fat percentage and blood work, but also factors like how you think, feel, live, connect to others and how you connect to yourself. Included in my programs are strength workouts, conditioning workouts, mobility workouts and guided rest & recovery days. There are daily accountability nutrition check-ins. Every calendar day will be right at your finger tips for easy access anywhere, any time. I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer for 20 years, a certified master TRX trainer, a Precision Nutrition certified coach, an AEA certified teacher and Masters Swim Coach, and a PN Certified Sleep Coach. I am a former professional athlete, who has been a coach and mentor for most of my life. As a seasoned professional, I know what works and what doesn't work enabling me to guide you through the quagmire of (mis)information out there and coaching you with science based knowledge and experience. Weight training and good nutrition are for everyone. Strength, power, and mobility. Proper engine fueling. Joyful daily movement. Physical confidence. These are some of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. They’ll help you live longer and better, feel and perform optimally, and as a bonus, help you walk tall and look fabulous well into old age.

My clients like to text me “complaints” the day after a workout…
but let’s be honest, it’s really a brag. 😂

Just to be clear:
𝐍𝐨, you do not have to be super sore for a workout to be effective.

𝐁𝐔𝐓…
sometimes you hit a muscle in a new way and BAM! Your phone starts blowing up. 😅

A perfect example?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬 (𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬).
These muscles don’t get a lot of focused attention in everyday movement, so when we load them properly, especially with strength work, they can make their presence very known the next day.

That soreness (hello, stairs and getting out of the car 👋) doesn’t mean the workout was “better.”
It simply means the muscle experienced a new or increased stimulus.

And that’s how adaptation happens.

So yes, it’s okay to laugh about the soreness.
And no, soreness is not the goal.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞,
𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Anyone else have a “favorite” sore muscle? 😄

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧.

After a week of waking up at 4:45 a.m. to a blaring alarm, the idea of a leisurely Saturday morning sounds downright therapeutic.

So why do you wake up at 10 a.m. feeling like absolute garbage?

As a certified sleep coach, we call this sleep inertia — sometimes referred to as sleep drunkenness.

And it’s not really about how much you slept.
It’s about when you slept.

Your brain runs on timing cues. During the workweek, it gets very consistent signals that say, “Wake up. Be alert.”

Those cues include:
• Your alarm clock triggering cortisol and other alertness chemicals
• Morning light that sets your circadian clock
• Conversations with housemates (or clients 😅) that force your brain online
• Caffeine
• Breakfast
• That rushed, gotta-go feeling as you head out the door

When you sleep in, many of those cues disappear entirely.
Others happen hours later than your brain expects.

The result?
You don’t get the same surge of alertness chemicals — so you feel foggy, groggy, and off.

And it doesn’t stop there.
Because you slept in, you probably won’t feel tired at your usual bedtime. Most people need about 16 hours of wake time before sleep pressure builds.

Wake at 10 a.m. instead of 5:45 a.m., and suddenly bedtime shifts later…
Which usually leads to sleeping in again on Sunday…
Which sets you up for a rough Sunday night…
And then Monday hits. 😑

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬:
👉 Try not to vary your sleep-wake schedule by more than 30–60 minutes
👉 Consider sleeping with the blinds partly open so morning light can help wake your brain naturally (unless outside lights are too intense)
👉 Create a weekend morning routine you actually want to get out of bed for
👉 Prioritize getting enough sleep during the week so weekends aren’t about recovery

Sleeping in feels good in theory — but consistency is what actually makes you feel rested.

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬?

It’s the outside of a slot canyon in Arizona — one of those smooth, glowing canyons you’ve probably seen photos of.
(Yes, like Antelope Canyon — and yes, you should absolutely go someday. Make a reservation… and don’t skip Horseshoe Bend nearby.)

From here, you can see the beginning of change.

But the real transformation?

You can’t see it yet.

You have to walk further.
And when you do…
you’re met with pure magic.

That change didn’t happen overnight.

And the changes you want to see in your own life won’t happen overnight either.
(Also — it won’t take thousands of years 😄)

The lesson is simple:
𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝.
𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Right now, advertisers are working overtime to convince you that this system, that shake, or one supplement is the answer.

Between social media, ads, and headlines, nutrition has become so confusing that many people feel frustrated and give up altogether.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭.
Some of that confusion is coming from inside the personal training industry itself.

As you think about your health and fitness goals this year, I want to share my perspective on diet supplements and quick fixes.

Meal-replacement shakes and packaged “diet” foods are everywhere right now.

The issue is that most of them aren’t based on real food.
They’re engineered to taste good, which keeps people dependent on processed products instead of learning how to nourish themselves.

These programs are incredibly profitable.

And often, the supplements with the highest price tags also come with the biggest commissions.
That’s not accidental.

The end result? Consumers pay far more than necessary — not because the product is superior, but because it benefits the seller.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝:
Spend your money on fresh, real food.
Support local when you can. Keep it simple.
Invest in coaching and education — someone who will teach you how to shop, cook, portion, prepare meals, and enjoy food again.

And choose a trainer who is honest with you:
• Eating well takes practice
• Strength training matters
• Cardio supports health
• Protein comes first
• The scale is not the goal — function and feeling are

Above all, find a trainer who has nutrition credentials and prioritizes your long-term health over selling products.

Most people think eating more calories = gaining fat.
𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬.

In a recent study, women were split into two groups:
• One group 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝟐𝟓𝟎 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, all from protein
• The other group 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝟑𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, all from protein

After 8 weeks, the results were surprising:
➡️ The women who 𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝟐% 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭
➡️ The women who ate fewer calories lost less than 1%

Yes — women lost 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
when those calories came from 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 and they were lifting weights.

Fat loss isn’t just about eating less.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭.

If your goal is to lose body fat, get stronger, improve endurance, or simply feel better in your body, this is the kind of strategy I help people figure out every day.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲. 🌙

Want to know the secret to lasting change?

Behavior design expert BJ Fogg teaches something surprisingly simple:
👉 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿—𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘄. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.

We often believe that massive change is required to see results. But research shows the opposite.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 — ridiculously tiny, almost embarrassingly tiny steps.

Think about getting in shape.
You don’t start by running a marathon.
You start by walking a little more each day.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
Because when it comes to habits,
𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Big goals can trigger fear, resistance, and procrastination.

Tiny actions sneak under the radar. They’re so small your brain
barely registers them as change — making it easier to begin.

Want to learn French? 🇫🇷
Just 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱.
Look it up.
Use it in a fun way — like texting it to a friend.

The goal is so small your brain doesn’t argue with you.

Once momentum builds, you can gradually increase the challenge — two words, then three.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻?
Sometimes, aiming for the moon backfires.
If you miss, you won’t land among the stars — 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.

My clients understand the value of starting smaller than nano-small.

Instead of aiming for the moon, they focus on the 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗽𝗮𝗱.

Each tiny action builds confidence and momentum.

Every small win delivers a dopamine hit — making the next step easier.

✨ 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺.

So tell me:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹?

À bientôt ✨

𝗔𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 —
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Everything has a price.

Sometimes we just don’t notice what we’re paying with.

It might be long work hours in exchange for more stuff.

Or neglecting your body and paying for it later with low energy, poor health, or a diminished sense of self.

Here’s what that can look like in real life:
• You watch one more episode.
You pay for it with less sleep.

• You skip your workouts.
You pay for it with less strength.

• You eat at your desk because your workload never slows down and you’re “too busy” to take a break.
You pay for someone else’s wealth with your health.
(Read that one again.)

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱.
To say no more often to the things that quietly drain you.
And to say yes more often to the choices that help you feel better, stronger, and more present in your life.

If you’ve “failed” before — maybe a diet you tried or a workout routine you meant to stick with — you’ve probably told yourself things like:

“I’m broken.”
“I’ll never be good at this.”
“I should just give up.”

If failure hurts, it’s usually because we’ve made it mean something hurtful.

When every cookie binge or missed workout turns into proof that you’ve failed again, of course the whole process feels miserable.

But I see it differently.

Failure = Learning + Growth

In my Total Transformation program, I actually give clients plenty of opportunities to “fail.”

Why?

Because real, lasting success — like building a strong body and sustainable health — comes through trying and sometimes failing.

Just not the shame-filled kind.

The kind of failure that:
💪🏼 Teaches you about yourself
💪 Shows you what works (and what doesn’t)
💪🏼 Builds resilience and tolerance for discomfort
💪 Encourages self-compassion
💪 Strengthens commitment and persistence

My clients say these skills are what truly changed everything.

Through simple daily habits and guidance, the Total Transformation program teaches you how to become a healthy eater — not just follow a plan.

You’ll also get an effective, flexible workout program you can do on your time, regardless of experience, ability, or location.

𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁.

Keep it up if you missed a few days… weeks… months… or even years.

Maybe it was a vacation, the holidays, raising children, an injury, a work deadline, or just life getting busy.

Time has a way of flying by, and before you know it, weeks, months, or even years slip by without getting back to exercise.

It’s happened to most of us, myself included, more than once.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴?

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.
Because moving your body helps you feel your very best.

𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸
Everyone pushes fitness aside at some point, whether by choice or by circumstance. That doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re human. And you’re allowed to jump back in without guilt or apologies.

𝗕𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰
One of the biggest challenges my clients face after a break is feeling frustrated that they “can’t do what they used to do.”

That’s okay. I can’t either.

The odds of me becoming a professional athlete again are pretty slim. 😅 But I can take care of my body, stay strong, and feel good.

And so can you.

The first few workouts back will feel tough. That’s normal. After a week or two of consistent movement, things start to improve.

But getting so sore that you can’t come back, or worse, quit altogether, helps no one.

Don’t worry. I’m intentional and experienced, and I know how to ease people back into movement safely.

When you’re returning after a break, the goal isn’t to go all out. It’s to build consistency.

We start where you are. As your body adapts, we gradually build from there.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Everything feels easier with support. A workout partner, or even a small group, can make exercise more fun and motivating.

And doing Total Transformation with a friend or partner?

I think I know how you are feeling right about now.

Maybe a little "puffy" or sluggish? You're not sure what day it is and if you will ever go to sleep at a decent hour again.

You haven't really exercised because:
👉🏼 It's been raining a lot
👉🏼 It's been snowing a lot
👉🏼 Everyone in the house has been sick
👉🏼 There's not enough daylight to fit it in
👉🏼 The gravity field around your couch has magically doubled

You haven't eaten well because:
👉🏼 Leftovers (duh)
👉🏼 Food doesn't count this time of year
👉🏼 You literally will snack late at night to stay awake to watch "the game" or a movie
👉🏼 See above reasons for not exercising....they apply here too. 😂

The real question is what are you going to do about it.

I can help you gently break away from the bad habits while exploring how they started in the first place. Not in an "I'm your therapist now" way but in a "Most things are easier if we know WHY" way.

Let's be real., we are the sum of our habits.

Together, we will find new habits that add to your health and well-being without overwhelming you.
Real change doesn’t stick until it becomes part of who you are.

The goal isn’t to start a diet — it’s to become a healthy eater.
The goal isn’t to go to the gym — it’s to become strong.
The goal isn’t to just fake it ’til you make it — it’s to become confident.

Every action you take moves you closer to who you’re becoming — for better or worse.

One salad won’t change your life. One workout won’t either.
But keep taking those small steps, and suddenly, they add up.
Build the identity: healthy, strong, and quietly confident — no perfection required.
