The Fit Stop Personal Fitness Training Studio The Fit Stop was created in 2003 in an effort to enhance the health and wellness of area residents. Let me share my passion for lifelong wellness with you.

Safe, effective and efficient fitness programming is offered in a private, professional setting at extremely reasonable rates. Since 1987, I have been providing personalized fitness programs to individuals in Mid-Michigan. I have trained clients ranging from national champion athletes to victims of stroke, cerebral palsy and closed head injury. I was certified through the National Institute of Fit

ness and Sport in Indianapolis in 1989, and the American Council on Exercise in 2003. Previously, I was the fitness director at Four Flags Health and Racquet Club in Saginaw and the Fitness Facilities Coordinator at the Midland Community Center. In the fall of 2003 I opened The Fit Stop, a private personal training studio that utilizes commercial quality fitness equipment by Nautilus, Hammer Strength, Free Motion, Stairmaster, Trotter and other name brands. My training philosophies get my clients the best possible results in the shortest amount of time. My focus is on safe, effective programs that stress the muscle tissue with little or no trauma to the joints and connective tissue. Strength and cardio vascular training as well as flexibility exercises are incorporated to provide the best possible balance in an effort to enhance and improve your long term health picture. My promise to you is to provide a clean, comfortable and friendly facility while using your training time as efficiently as possible. I welcome training in groups of two or three as it is more cost effective and provides a mode of support for all involved. Rates begin as low as $38 per hour, well below the national average for a trainer, even in a public gym. Opportunities currently exist for appointment times as early as 7:00 am, and as late as 6:00 pm. I work split shifts M-F and Saturday mornings to accommodate working individuals. Call at 989-430-1430 or email at [email protected] to set up a free consultation.

The day before I closed down the studio - this quote "found me" I thought it appropriate for the last post on this page! Thanks again Midland!!

"There's a trick to the 'graceful exit.' It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over--and let it go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out."
-Ellen Goodman

This Friday, after 30 years of training individuals in the Midland area I'll be closing the studio and retiring.
I spent 10 years training out of the Community Center previous to starting my own studio - and there are countless people I'd like to extend a big THANK YOU to for their support and friendship.
I moved to Midland in '93 after 6 years in the fitness business in Saginaw because it rained one day (long story) This not only shaped my coming decades, but my parents as well as they ended up moving here in '05.
So let this serve as a heartfelt thank you to this great community we live in - we have wide range of great activities and programs in our town - Center for the Arts, Loons, an LPGA golf event are not things typically found in a town of 40k.
To all who's paths I've crossed - thank you for being part of my story!

It's been a very, very long road, but I'll be able to open the studio back up on Monday the 5th. I went full tilt this past weekend to get things back they way they were after finally getting the interior door back up on my suite. The flood really brought me to my knees, but I've survived (mostly through intense exercise - no surprise there!) Will be so glad to get back to some kind of normal. Thanks to everyone for their support over the last months.

I'm very happy to say that I'm getting much closer to re-opening day at The Fit Stop, there has been quite a bit of progress made in the last week, and I"m hopeful this lapse in being able to do what I love will be coming to and end soon. I'm hoping to be able to begin setting things up again over the coming weekend. Thanks to all my longtime clients, and those who have reached out to me recently for their patience during this very challenging time.
