About Us
Awaken Your Best Self — Mind, Body, and Soul
Awaken Training & Nutrition takes a “Wholistic” approach to all things health, wellness, and fitness. As humans, we are a mind, body, & soul being, if any of these three are “off,” our entire being will be “off.” Health, wellness, and fitness are so much more than eating and exercising. What we eat and how we move our bodies are invaluable to health, wellness, and overall fitness, but these are simply “parts” of the equation, not the WHOLE equation. As a client within the “Awaken” community, you will be challenged to go deeper than what you see in the mirror. You will focus on your “Why,” because without an unshakable “Why,” you’ll never be able to reach your greatest potential in health, wellness, fitness, or any other life pursuit! Now is the time, today is the day to “AWAKEN!”
Personalized Wellness Journey
Targeted Fitness Coaching
From Experience to Impact
As a passionate & dedicated individual with over 20 years of health & fitness experience, my faith in Christ is the foundation of my life, He is my “Why.” I received my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Sioux Falls (South Dakota) in 2010. I’m also a licensed K-12 PE teacher in both Arizona & Colorado respectively (I currently teach elementary PE in SE Arizona). I also hold a ISSA certification in personal training. In 2020, I moved back to my home state of Iowa and bought Victory Gym in Cherokee, IA. I am still currently the owner of Victory Gym. Outside of my career in public education and fitness, I enjoy reading, podcasting, and time in the sauna! I can’t wait to meet you and be a champion for you as you “Awaken” to the best version of yourself!
