Hey everybody! My name is Becky and I live in Vernon Hills with my charming husband, Mike. We have an “over friendly” golden retriever mix named Gibson and 2 cats that keep us entertained on a daily basis. No kids yet, but something we both dream of for the near future.

I started out personal training in the health club setting for about 4 years. I then began training in the more intimate setting of homes and instantly found a new passion. I feel that in home training really puts the “personal” in personal training, and that is what I am all about! I now train exclusively in home.

My style of training is what I call functional personal training. What is functional training, you ask? I like to say that it is training to muscles to efficiently stretch, strengthen, and move in ways that allow you to enjoy your every day life more. This may have very different meanings to very different people. For you, your goal may be to walk up stairs without becoming winded. Maybe you want to be able to bend over and tie your shoes, or pick up your children pain free. Whatever your goals may be I would love to help you find ways to reach those goals and function better.

I LOVE what I do. I DO what I love. Lets work together to find ways for you to learn to be functionally fit and living a life of wellness.
