What are my preferred training locations?

Helen Newman, Teagle downstairs, Teagle Upstairs

What are my most available days and times to meet?

Mondays from 4:15-8:15 (last client would end around 8:15)

What client interests and goals best fit my training style and skills?

My training style would fit clients who range from beginners who are trying to learn how to
strength train properly all the way up to someone who would consider themselves more
advanced in the gym.
Students who are interested in learning how to weight train properly, become stronger, more
physically fit, and get in better overall shape could benefit from my training programs and style.
My skills include exercise modification, being a patient and understanding teacher, helping
clientele become stronger, build muscle, and confidence in the gym.

What is unique about my educational or fitness background that influences my training knowledge?

My education and fitness background is unique because I have degrees in both Exercise
Science and Physical Education. My Exercise Science background gives me the knowledge to
teach weight training properly, however my Physical Education background made me a solid
teacher that could work with any skill level.
Being a physical education teacher has also taught me how to teach skills that were outside of
my comfort zone! I have taught a wide array of fitness and sports all the way from Rhythms &
Dance to Aquatics.
In addition to being a Physical Education teacher I have worked as a personal trainer after
school hours working with clients ranging from 12 to 67 years old! I have worked with all sorts
of clients with different goals including: athletes training to improve their performance, firemen
training to achieve weight loss, college professors training to get stronger, achieve better
mobility, etc.

What is my favorite fitness activity or an accomplishment that makes me feel good?

In college I competed in RPS & USPA powerlifting federations. These were some of my
greatest memories.
