Q & A

Q: Why did you become a personal trainer?

A: During covid, I noticed that many people, myself included, experienced a decline in mental health. Trying to figure out ways to get my mental health back on track I turned to fitness. Now, instead of looking at fitness as just a physical tool, I have found a way to use it mentally and hope to do the same for others.

Q: What has been one of your favorite client experiences?

A: During my first couple of sessions shadowing at Orange Shoe, I was nervous about not messing up, and clients helped me get through them by being very friendly.

Q: What is your proudest physical achievement?

A: I had a lot of trouble gaining weight when I was in high school. I soon had an unhealthy relationship with food where I would stuff myself until I was full just to gain a little bit of weight. This affected me mentally so I switched up how I approached it. Now I have a healthy relationship with food and feel better than I have ever felt

Q: Why do you love Orange Shoe?

A: I love Orange Shoe because of the community and family-type vibe they have in the studio. Everyone, clients included, has made me feel at home as soon as I stepped through the doors.
