As A Founder

What started as my own health and fitness journey turned into a catalyst for a future I never expected. After my own weight loss journey, I pursued a career in fitness. Shortly after I got my certification, I spent years at other gyms mastering my skills as a Trainer to help change people’s lives. But I realized that wasnt enough - there were other obstacles in my way and my clients’ way. I created NOVA as a solution to the obstacles & complaints from trainers, gym members and my own clients regarding their experiences in the surrounding gyms.

As A Trainer

I get it. I grew up being a sedentary kid who had zero athletic abilities, only cared about art and had zero understanding of nutrition. I struggled with my weight and felt helpless about it. I wasn’t born and raised with the healthiest lifestyle. I spent much of my time playing video games instead of being active. I thought I hated veggies or anything “green.” But truth was, I lacked self confidence, didn’t know enough about myself, how to change and where to start.

My fitness journey was a roller coaster of trials and errors but it taught me a lot. I evolved into the person I never thought I could be – active, energetic, healthy, fit, strong, happy and confident. Now I help others reach their potential. Do you want to be next?

How I Help You Get Results

I learned that becoming a good trainer required a variety of knowledge and experiences. My own fitness journey and a personal training certificate wasn’t enough. I was able to teach women and men how to lose weight and build muscle while pursuing my bachelor’s degree. It didn’t take me long to realize that people have lots of different journeys and obstacles, so I needed to know more.

• How was I going to help Derek who suffered a knee injury 5 years ago in a car accident and struggled to climb a flight of stairs without pain? 

• How was I going to help Kelly with her cardio who has been suffering with asthma and low back pain for years?

I took Postural Restoration courses to help me understand the influence of breathing and biomechanics in order to help my clients train without pain. I interned at Mike Boyle’s Gym in Boston to learn more about athletes and how to coach large groups. I even attended an orthopedic seminar at Brown to help me understand how to help people who have had injuries. I became a certified nutritionist to help tailor my clients goals & lifestyle with their diets on top of attending seminars constantly to learn more about women’s and men’s health. I continue to learn more and more to this day and this is why my client’s trust me.
