About Moira

I share my love of fitness and offer customized personal training, small group training, and group fitness classes in your location. I also offer holistic health coaching in person and virtually.

I believe that fitness can be a fun, challenging, lifelong endeavor for everyone. My doctorate in education and a masters in exercise physiology help me understand the teaching and learning process with a greater depth, and my 15+ years of experience as a fitness instructor, personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, and teacher have helped me develop a toolkit to work with a diverse variety of people.

I love working with clients who have great attitudes and want to learn. With a client's willingness to grow, our relationship becomes trusting, interconnected, and adventurous.

If you're looking for information, encouragement, and accountability, I can provide that, but I've learned that having the right attitude is about 90% of your success. I can coach and guide you on how to do exercises and create a workout on your own, and I can help you develop incentives to keep you motivated - but I cannot do the work for you. YOU are the key to your success with any fitness program.

If you're not sure if you want to put in the work for a healthier life, I am happy to consult with you to see if we are a good mutual fit - and if not, I can recommend you to another trainer or program.

I had such a blast participating in fitness classes, I decided to become an instructor in 2005. Those great first experiences sowed the seeds of my fitness career.

I have over 15 years of experience teaching group fitness classes, personal training, and working as a coach and a teacher. I love sharing my passion for holistic health and fitness by helping others achieve their goals and find joy in moving and taking care of their bodies. My educational background in Health & Human Performance (M.S.) and Higher Education (Ed.D.) help me fine-tune your exercise programming and develop your behavioral shift towards a healthier life. In addition to my Group Exercise and Personal Training Certifications, I hold specialty certificates in Pre-and Post-natal fitness, Behavioral Change Programming and Strength & Conditioning for athletes and can work with any population to develop a plan for your lifelong fitness.

About the lesson

We start with a 30 minute free phone or video consultation to discuss your your goals, answer your questions, and see if we may be a good mutual fit. Your journey starts when we meet in person for a complete fitness assessment before regular sessions commence. Getting these metrics are essential in establishing your baseline fitness. During you assessment, I use a variety of tests to assess your cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.We will discuss your preferences and goals to develop a customized fitness and wellness plan.

I've worked primarily with healthy adults, college athletes, children from preschool to high school, and active older adults. I have experience with prenatal and post natal women, post-op from hip and knee replacements (with clearance from your Physical Therapist!) and veterans.

Interview your potential trainer! See if her attitude resonates with you. Some trainers are stricter and more militant (Jillian Micahels style). Some are gentler and more compassionate. Some will listen to you gripe about your life - others will tell you to do more burpees. Find a style that fits you.

Find out if your trainer has the professional certifications necessary to train you. Anyone can call themselves a "trainer" - what makes certifications so important is they tell you a trainer knows how to develop safe, effective exercise. Educational background can be of enormous help if it's in a relevant field. Experience is also important...if you truly want to work with a professional, you do not want to be your trainer's first client!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What style of trainer do you want - Do you want a coach who will teach and encourage you? A drill sergent who will whip you in to shape? A workout buddy you can have fun with?

What are your goals? Are you willing to modify them if your trainer assesses they may be unrealistic for your timeframe or lifestyle?

Do you consider yourself teachable? Are you ready to have a trainer in your corner, who knows you well, who can speak into your life and provide recommendations that will help your transform your lifestyle?

Moira got my 6yo running and doing crazy yoga poses with a huge smile on his face. Her games provide the perfect back story so that he doesn’t even realize he’s exercising and working off all that extra energy. Highly recommend!
