Personal Training

Available in person at the Nu’uanu Y.

I believe in connecting the development of our physical body to the growth of the mental and spiritual aspects of our being, in order to accurately achieve a greater sense of equlibrium and sustainable balance. Integration of fitness principles and some tough love gets the job done!

What started with using my dad's old rusty weight lifting equipment in my backyard, has led to my love and affinity for health and fitness! As someone that has always loved food, I grew up as an overweight and unfit kid. In high school, I took a leap of faith in fitness and gained patience, perseverance, and consistency, which resulted in me losing 100 pounds!

My personal health and wellness journey includes 14 years of working out and 8 years on staff with the YMCA, where I have helped and given guidance to members on the fitness floor.

I have been blessed with working with and learning from other YMCA fitness professionals, and now am proud to be a certified personal trainer with the Kaimuki YMCA. I look forward to helping others realize their potential, overcome their obstacles, and reach their goals!

My training philosophy is that we each have the greatest impact on our health and well-being with not only exercise, but also with nutrition, stress management, recovery and our spiritual practices, which is why my training plans include whole wellness.

Enjoying what we do is necessary which is why my personal fitness journey includes: self defense classes, belly dancing, Tahitian, SUP, weight training, boxing conditioning and various group class formats. I believe if we love what we do then it’s not really work. I am ready to help you achieve your wellness goals!

Available in person at the Mililani-West Oahu Y, Nu‘uanu Y, and virtually via Zoom.

I have been a personal trainer since 2015 and a group exercise instructor since 2012. I have a passion for helping people reach their fitness goals in a safe, effective, and efficient manner. I believe that through diet and exercise, one can have a greater positive approach to a healthier lifestyle and mental attitude in a more holistic approach.

Fitness should be about being healthy and having fun. I believe that each person has their own personal struggles, I’m here to help them overcome their fitness struggles.  We will work together to set goals and modify them, as needed. I will be supporting them through every step of their fitness journey.

I possess an extensive array of work experience catering to individuals ranging from youth to kupuna. With my diverse background and dedication to health and fitness, I hope to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role as a personal trainer here at the YMCA.

I began my fitness journey as a young adult. I grew up here in Hawaii, but I never availed myself of the climate and surroundings to find a path towards sustained, life-long health until my early twenties. My walk towards fitness started with huffing and puffing through my first aerobics class to my present role as personal trainer. Along the way, I had to overcome feelings of inadequacy about my body, recover from multiple stress injuries, and carry 4 healthy pregnancies. Each emotional and physical challenge provided me an opportunity to adopt, adapt, and overcome. These experiences taught me that it is never too late in life to start taking care of yourself and that life events should change the approach towards but not stop the pursuit of good health. I believe people have the power to change through dedication, attitude, patience, and a lot of planning. As your personal trainer, I hope to work with you to find your own enjoyable and sustainable pathway towards a healthier, fitter you!
