Your Personal Best/moe brown

As a lifelong asthma sufferer I discovered how important exercise was at helping
me control my asthma when I started running in high school. I feel so fortunate
to have discovered this at a relatively young age as it allowed me to prevent asthma
from controlling my life.

Ever since then I have been a recreational and competitive athlete. Recreationally I hike,bike, ski, and kayak. Competitively I am an endurance runner, competing in events ranging from 5k to marathon distance.

Experiencing the medicinal powers of exercise gave me a passion for fitness and a strong desire to help others use exercise to improve their lives. My goal is to help people live healthier, happier lives by arming them with the knowledge and ability to make fitness a lifestyle.

As a result, I became certified by The International Fitness Professionals Association(IFPA) in 1998; then by The American Council on Exercise(ACE) in 1999. Through my education and experiences I have learned techniques to help you get the most out of your training. This involves not only making your workouts more efficient, but also more enjoyable. As a Masters athlete(a.k.a over 40) I have learned that with the proper approach to training, getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with individuals ranging from Olympic caliber athletes to individuals interested in weight loss, or just increasing overall health and fitness. No matter what your training goals are, I can help.
