Fun fact about your company: I’m an entrepreneur with a creative background and a deep love for exercise science and nutrition. My passion comes alive on my mountain bike, on the fitness floor, and when the music plays. 

Customer service is: At the very heart of the experience. I appreciate my first job as a waitress, because it taught me how to love what you do by doing it well and making others feel good. 

You started your business, because: Fitness profoundly changed my life. I lost over 10% of my body fat; transformed how I looked, felt, and lived; and fell in love with the freedom I have because of it. Coaching others to find their own success in this way is the ultimate reward. 

Most memorable experience as an entrepreneur: Seeing the light in someone's eyes when they surprise themselves at their own achievements.

When not working, you can be found: On the trails in Granite Bay riding my MTB.  

You love living here, because: It’s beautiful! There are so many ways to live well and be adventurous. I can get on my bike and be at Folsom Lake in minutes or jump in my car and be at the training facility in 15 minutes. What makes it even more extraordinary are the people I share it with. I feel fortunate to be part of such an amazing community.
