Happy 70th birthday to my mom ! She is a warrior who can truly overcome anything. But most importantly she is my rock! I ❤️ you Mom!!!

Happy New Year!🎆

It’s been awhile since I’ve introduced myself, so I figured the best way to describe myself is to share my bio from the popular dating app 😆:

“I am an energetic person who is always on the move. I am a house music ju**ie who curates my own mixes weekly for my classes. I love food, trying new restaurants, riding my bike, dancing, coffee, my dogs. I’m very upbeat and my good vibes are contagious. Never married and no kids unless you consider dogs as children”

To add…I am a Pilates Coach for a popular wellness and lifestyle brand and the creator of Body Shameless, a fitness program designed to help women be in love 🥰 with their bodies through movement that makes them healthy, fit and strong 💪🏼 !

Now tell me about yourself? Leave a comment if you have ever been on a dating app!

Remember my name!!!

I am just kidding!

This was a logo that was created for me when I first established my business back in 2012 never realizing I would venture into the virtual world due to the pandemic.

If you are a Fit Pro, this post is for you. I want to share with you an amazing course I took during the pandemic that was my saving grace.

Like many of you, when fitness studios were forced to close due to COVID, I had to pivot and began to teach classes online not realizing how much work it involved. All of the sudden I was wearing many hats figuring out how to take payment, do my own marketing especially in a social media driven world, and day-to-day admin stuff on top of teaching my classes ( I was teaching 8 classes a week). After a couple of months of running my business, I was burning out not knowing which direction my business was going and needed some guidance.

It was not until I took 6 Steps to 6 Figures (a live, step-by-step accelerator course, exclusive to fitness professionals) back in December 2020 that I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. They helped me to learn how to reframe my fitness business, transform my clients into a loyal community and to work smarter, not harder by harnessing the power of pre-commits* (a subscription program strategy). On average, graduates can earn $3k-$15k with 45+ client sign-ups in just their first months.

Although I am back to teaching and training IRL, I am still able to run my business efficiently because I was able to streamline it with what I learned from the course.

And...if you launch a program after the end of the course, Talent Hack will refund you half of your enrollment fee when you launch.

SIGN UP NOW! YOU WON'T REGRET IT BECAUSE I DEFINITELY DON’T!

👋🏻 everyone!

I haven’t been on social media much lately because I have been “happily” busy.

After a year of uncertainty with my fitness career, I am so excited to announce that I am now the Pilates Coach at LifeTime.Life at the West 23rd St location. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and really excited to build and grow my business. Plus…I have a beautiful fully equipped Pilates studio to manage.

Although I somewhat feel like I am starting over after 18 years in the fitness industry, there is so much potential and I look forward to what is to come.

It’s going to be a gorgeous Sunday, so join me for a 10am outdoor Pilates Mat class as part of Shop the Village event in the West Village. It is a donation based class. Reserve your spot via the link https://www.thetalenthack.com/talent_classes/45545.

🎉 Happy anniversary to me! This month marks 18 years I have been a fit pro and boy how time flies!

It was a career I had never imagined for myself. Graduating from NYU 👩‍🎓 with a marketing and accounting degree, it was expected that would be the career path I would take and follow. However, after 10 years as a marketing professional, I felt something creatively was missing in my life.

Being a former dancer 💃🏻 what brought me happiness was taking my favorite dance classes at a well-known fitness club in NYC. This led to opportunities to do promotional work for the said fitness club which eventually inspired me to become a fitness instructor. I loved the way my favorite instructors encouraged me to be my best self and I wanted to be able to that as well.

So at the age of 31, I took a risk and made some sacrifices to become a full-time fitness instructor and personal trainer.

And 18 years later...I am still loving and enjoying every moment of it!
