Previously this was my real estate website. I'm a little disappointed that I discontinued it because I did put alot of time and effort into building and designing that site over the last 7 years. However, due to a slow and declining real estate market, I have since put my real estate license in a referral status in order to pursue my passion for fitness! However, if you were directed here on a real estate related matter, please let me know and I can put you in touch with excellent sales associates who can promptly assist you with your real estate needs.
Currently, I am managing the BrickHouse Health & Fitness located at Cass & Groesbeck in Mt. Clemens where I also do personal training and teach several group fitness classes throughout the week. A typical week at the gym consists of a minimum of 56 hours or more; not including the weekends! The good news...I enjoy every minute that I spend there. The members are wonderful and kind and really make being there enjoyable. I take great pride in getting to know all the members and being able to greet almost all of them by name. When you own your own business it is very demanding and at the same time very rewarding when what you do is something you are passionate about.
From a young age (19) I know what it is like to start a business and pour your life and energy into it. To see something you belive in grow and become sucessful. I am fortunate to have a second opportunity to do this with my love for fitness. Not one for backing away from challenges, I accept what life throws at me and strive to make the best of it.
Life lately has been very busy and hectic managing the new club and taking care of my home which consists of my beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog (Kracker) my adorable Pot-bellied Pig (Bacon Charolette), my handsome Pygmy Goat (Borden) and of course a farm wouldn't be complete without chickens, turkeys and rabbits!
Who am I kidding! My very busy husband takes care of the ladder three along with several beautiful gardens that burst with bountiful vegetables including purple carrots, purple potatoes, peppers in a variety of colors, a variety of tomatoes in yellow, orange, red, and even black. We also grow (well I just like taking credit for it, I really don't help out with the garden much), butternut squash, acorn squash, summer squash, cucumbers, onions, corn, brussel sprouts, delicious blackberries and so much more! Every year my husband sits down and together we go through numerous seed catalogues to decide what we are going to grow.
I've enjoyed working out since I was in High School. Fitness has been an intregal part of my life for the last 24 years. I am a Certified Personal Trainer & Fitness Instructor, the mother of 3 beautiful teenage daughters and a sweet 9 year old step-son.
You can read more about my fitness credentials on the About page. However, the highlight of my fitness endeavor was in 1998. If having three children and running a business wasn't already enough, I entered and won the Mid-Michigan Women's Bodybuilding Championships. I was the Overall winner! The next best thing to winning was having over 30 friends and family members in the crowd cheering me on that day.
Over the years, I've helped many individuals reach their goals including preparing them for Body For Life, walking with them in the Susan G. Koman 3-Day (60 mile) Breast Cancer Walk, one-on-one training for specific goals including weight managment, stress relief and through sheer inspiration alone.
