Go Harter Fitness ​

It started when I was in fifth grade.

 

Although I was the class nerd (albeit the not unpopular nerd), to everyone's surprise, I came in second in my class's 600-yard dash. Thus began my addiction to running. I have run five marathons and am in training for Barcelona in March 2027.

 

I grew up in suburban Cleveland, and ended up as the high school valedictorian who liked to run fast. I attended Duke University for college and law school. I moved to DC to work in politics, but gravitated towards more traditional legal jobs. Also in DC, I  reveled in two different avocations: teaching SAT, GRE, and GMAT prep classes for The Princeton Review; and becoming certified as a Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise. I first worked as a trainer at the local Washington Sports Club. My first client was an "elderly" 60-year-old woman, and we achieved our goal of getting her more fit and comfortable in a gym setting. I soon opened my own training gym in my DC house. My clients were both male and female, and I helped them develop and achieve their fitness goals.

 

I lived in NYC for 12 years, and obtained a certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I taught nutrition classes for two non-profit organizations. I also wrote many articles for the New York Front Runners newsletter.

 

My academic background shows my commitment to learning the real science behind exercise and nutrition, and teaching and speaking about the science. I understand the scientific jargon, and just as in my legal career, I explain concepts in plain English. 

 

I live part of the year in DC and part of the year in Barcelona, Spain, and am developing an international clientele.
