About Us

---

I am the owner of Cavalier Fitness Personal Training and Cavalier Fitness Studio. As a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and a former Exercise Science student at the University at Buffalo, I bring a deep knowledge of fitness and wellness. My qualifications include multiple group exercise certifications, including Group Fitness, TRX, Group Cycling, Pilates Mat, Yoga, Body Pump, Silver Sneakers, and more. I'm passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals with a variety of specialized training methods.

I am the owner of Cavalier Fitness Studio and the Head Tennis Pro at Village Glen. With over 30 years of experience as both a tennis player and instructor, I also serve as the Director of Adult Development Programs and the Director of Tournaments and Events. My goal is to create a strong sense of community at the studio, combining my extensive expertise and passion for fitness to help others thrive.

With over 20 years of experience as a group exercise instructor and personal trainer, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, each with their own fitness journey. Throughout my career, I have earned multiple certifications in TRX, Group Cycling, Pilates Mat, Yoga, Body Pump, and more, which have allowed me to offer a variety of dynamic classes to help my participants reach their goals.

What truly excites me is the opportunity to create an experience for my clients, rather than simply running a class. I strive to build an environment where everyone feels encouraged, supported, and inspired to push past their limits. It's not just about teaching; it's about connecting with my participants and helping them discover their inner strength.

I believe that achieving a balance between work, family, and fitness is essential to living a happy and healthy lifestyle, and I’m deeply dedicated to helping others find that balance. Whether it’s through personalized coaching or group classes, I’m passionate about making fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I love seeing my participants not only achieve their goals but also gain confidence and find joy in their fitness journey. Being a part of their transformation is what makes my work so rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to support them in reaching new heights.

I began my fitness journey in the early nineties, teaching step aerobics as an AFAA instructor to help pay my way through law school. Since then, I've completed six full marathons and dozens of half marathons, all while building a successful career as a partner in a busy law firm. Despite my demanding career, I’ve always made fitness a priority, and I’m excited to be part of a team with other women who share the same passion. While fitness isn’t my full-time job, it’s an avocation I deeply treasure, and I can’t wait to bring my enthusiasm to you. I understand the challenges of balancing career, family, and finding time for personal workouts, and I’m here to help you navigate that balance with inspiration and support.

I am an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor with a deep passion for fitness and helping others achieve a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle. With years of experience in dance and musical theatre, I bring a unique perspective to my classes, combining creative movement with dynamic fitness routines. I specialize in teaching Fusion and Power Pump classes, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients make positive changes while having fun along the way. My background in dance and theatre has honed my ability to engage, motivate, and inspire participants to reach their full potential while enjoying every moment. Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, I strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive and feel confident in their journey toward better health.
