In 2004, as a new couple, we changed our lifestyle habits.  Happily we ate nutritious, fresh foods and drank plenty of pure water each day.  We enthusiastically exercised most days of the week and meditated regularly.  We focused on creating a faith filled life that would help inspire others to optimistically focus on being their best despite inevitable obstacles that might get in the way.

Our Story

17 Years Of Experience

In 2007, we began working full time as personal fitness trainers in a corporate gym.  It was exciting to help people change their lives, lose weight, become more confident and achieve their goals  (fitness testimonials).

Our approach was sensible, sound, realistic and value driven.  We were able to help our clients tap into their deeper motivation to live healthier in all ways.  This approach of finding your intrinsic motivation is still a major tenet of our work and a founding principle of Active Wellness Personal Training and Coaching.

In 2009, the facility we were training at closed.  However, that didn’t halt our passion or stifle our commitment to our clients.  We believed it was our time to open up our own business and that is when Active Wellness LLC was born!

We have been in business since June of 2009.  Needless to say that was a memorable and patriotic 4th of July!  It has now been over 17 years since the start of our journey together and we couldn’t be more grateful to have the opportunity to be of service in this way!

In August 2014 we joyfully married!

At Active Wellness we are always evolving to explore and discover new ways we can help you  lose weight, get active and be healthier (Exercise Programs).
