As a personal trainer, one of my favorite things is hearing the “why” behind why clients choose to work with me. There are often several reasons someone starts training—but usually, there’s one standout motivator that rises to the top. This incredible horse is Marin’s why.

She’s been riding her entire life and has been training with me twice a week for years—but seeing her in action today gave me a whole new level of appreciation. I had the chance to watch her ride, and it truly opened my eyes to just how physical the sport is. At one point, it felt like she was doing 10,000 mini squats while staying perfectly in sync with her horse. My legs were burning just watching!

Moments like this give me so much perspective and inspiration when it comes to training dedicated riders like Marin—and it’s exactly why I love what I do.

Today I had the pleasure of working with these two couples. Setting aside time to spend together is a great way to build intimacy, whether you’ve been together for five or 50 years. As you carve out time in your days to make time to exercise together, you are also sending the message to your partner that you are making them a priority. One of the most basic human needs is to feel important and special. When someone makes time to be with you, it makes you feel good. When you are both intentional about making time to be together and agree on the same goal—working out to be healthy, a very good side effect is that your bond will be stronger. It’s a win-win situation. If you are curious about what it would be like to workout with your partner, reach out!

This guy. What can I say, he is amazing. I had the joy of watching part of his power lifting meet yesterday and walked away feeling inspired and proud. SO MUCH discipline, commitment and time goes into preparing for this day and it showed.

390lb squat
346lb bench
463lb deadlift

Legit.

All of my clients have really cool jobs and Lisa is no exception (it’s just that Lisa’s job tastes good). is a local that sells baked items at local markets and also provides classes at various locations. My friends and I attended a class where we learned to make pizza, focaccia, and apple crostata. Lisa is an expert at what she does, also kind, patient, and fun! Check out her social media, sign up for her newsletter, attend a class, sign up for sourdough bread pick up. You won’t regret it!
