Anna grew up in Lyndhurst, NJ and went to Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, NJ where she played soccer and lacrosse. She graduated Stockton University in Galloway, NJ in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Her three favorite courses: Biomechanics and Sports; Mind Body Conditioning; and Nutrition for Health sparked her onto a path of wanting to help others with body conditioning and personal improvement. After college she decided to go into personal training and has been a personal trainer and group exercise instructor for the past 16 years. She loves being able to help people reach their individual goals by giving them that extra push and exercise routine structure, improving lives through exercise. As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and AFAA Certified Group Exercise Instructor, she has a strong understanding of how the body moves and works and how different machines and equipment work to progress or regress a client. She has taught various styles of classes over the years including Pilates Reformer, Pilates mat, HIIT, Abs, Spin, Barre, Total Body Conditioning, and Small Group Training. She has a strong knowledge of weight machines, Pilates reformer, Bosu, TRX, kettlebells, dumbbells, exercise bands, and likes to throw some boxing and kickboxing into the mix sometimes. Anna loves to change up the routines and make exercise fun for her clients. She has worked with clients of all ages from children to seniors, including pregnant women. (And yes, it is totally possible to work out up to your due date – she worked out all through her pregnancy and still taught group exercise classes up to her delivery.)
