About Me

Hi there! I'm Gwen

I’m a Maryland based personal trainer, passionate about helping people live healthier lives by finding joy and strength in their body. 

I’ve been a weight lifting enthusiast since 2013 when I held a barbell for the first time. Up until that point I had been chasing my own fitness goals for years without seeing much progress. I didn’t understand so many things, including the importance of progressive overload, nutrition and stress management, just to name a few.

My journey continued for years alone in my tiny basement gym until I finally hired a trainer for myself in 2020. I quickly realized the value of having an exercise professional guide me through my programming  and I decided that I wanted to do the same for others. 

As a natural encourager, I love helping people gain perspective and support for their pursuits. When you succeed, I succeed! 

Let’s be a team and work together to make you Ever Strong

 

Core values that I believe in

Collaboration

I truly believe that you are the expert on your body. There is so much power working together as a team to develop the training program that suits your body, your lifestyle and your goals. 

Empowerment

The more experience I have coaching people, the more I can see how empowering it is to master a movement. There is freedom that comes with developing strength and I want that for everyone. 

Dedication

Embracing the process and finding joy in the “messy middle” is the type of dedication it takes to navigate fitness goals. Our path is rarely linear, there will be ups and downs and I will be right there with you cheering you on. 

Science-Based

As a lifetime learner, I’m committed to utilizing the latest research in the training programs that I develop. Our bodies are incredible creations and we are each unique.

There is a lot of noise in this industry and I intend to sort through it so that you don’t have to. 

“ My mission is to help people build sustainable strength through meaningful movement for a long, joyful life. ”
