| 2009-01-23 | Camber | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your input! My clothes are fitting me fine, its the number on the scale and the fact that I feel flubby in my mid section! The carb thing is probably right on. When I get home, I usually have a protein shake and a piece of plain bread, probably not the best thing. I will certainly watch my diet closer to see where I should make adjustments. |

Experience
I am the owner of the Completely Fit personal training company located in Mt. Airy, Maryland. My company offers one-on-one, online and group fitness training services, sports performance and team training, weight education classes and healthy lifestyle seminars. Before starting my own company I taught health and physical education for 10 years. I have been the featured speaker on topics such as fitness and exercise, proper nutrition and health awareness.
I graduated from Edinboro University with a degree in education specializing in athletic training. I gained my NATA certification in 1994. I also maintain certifications as a personal trainer with NCSF & NSPA, as a performance enhancement specialist with NASM, as well as an exercise development specialist and a nutrition specialist.
Calling on my experience with college athletes and teaching middle school students, I decided to use my knowledge to educate the general public on the benefits of physical fitness and healthy eating habits.
I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve each and every one of their goals. Completely Fit offers services to everyone, from beginners to professional athletes.
