DeAnna brings her passion and experience as a professional dancer to her work as a personal fitness coach. She enjoys helping individuals find a deeper connection to their own physicality by achieving their strongest, leanest, most capable body.
DeAnna's love and talent for moving allows her to create fun, challenging, eclectic workouts. As a dance expert and ACE-certified Personal Trainer, DeAnna designs workouts which draw from her extensive movement knowledge and are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Her sessions incorporate exercises from yoga, pilates, martial arts, dance training, cardio-training and weight training. Her approach works to tone and slim the body by lengthening and strengthening muscles at the same time. DeAnna’s method exercises muscles through full range of motion, training both large and SMALL muscle groups, resulting in a sculpted, defined body. Additionally, clients experience significant improvement in muscle flexibility as well as increased stability in the body's joints.
DeAnna specializes in in-home personal training and has been successfully helping clients reach their fitness goals for the past ten years. Goals have included losing weight (50 or more pounds), strengthening and shaping the body, bettering balance, increasing coordination, eliminating blood-pressure and cholesterol medication, rehabilitating shoulder and knee injuries, easing back pain, sleeping better and feeling more energized on a daily basis. She has helped women with osteoporosis increase their bone-density. She has worked with Parkinson's patients on slowing the progression of the disease by keeping muscles strong and limber. She has helped soon-to-be moms stay healthy and fit through all three trimesters, and worked with new moms to reclaim their pre-baby bodies. She has trained men, women and children between the ages of 9 and 83 including athletes, doctors, brides, business professionals, and couch potatoes. The only way to stick to an exercise program is first, make a lifestyle commitment to health, and second, make that commitment easy to keep by integrating workouts seamlessly into your day. DeAnna comes to you, making exercise easy and convenient. No equipment is necessary. DeAnna's goal is to help clients love their bodies and feel good about moving through the world IN their bodies…everyday.
