I am Fitness Director of an 80,000 square foot gym with more than 9,000 members, overseeing both the personal training department which includes 15 trainers and the group exercise program with 30 instructors and about 100 classes a week.
It's pretty much nirvana for me. I can't imagine any place where I could spend 12-13 hours at a clip --- other than the beach!

I still train and teach, too. I think we are our most happy when we are serving others --- not focusing on self --- but really helping people.

Members say I motivate them, that I am their role model. I say I am grateful and humble to have the opportunity to work with them.

On my days off, I mountain bike or run. I absolutely love the beach and there's nothing like a run at the shore. Nature excites me and I love being on the wooded trails running or biking and coming up on deer, or some other creatures. It pains me to see an abuse of our environment and I have been an animal activist, protesting bear hunts and taming and finding homes for feral cats.

I have two sons, Christian, a freshman in college in North Carolina, and James, who is a senior at The Pennington School, a private school near Princeton. I worked out throughout my pregnancies, somewhat of a pioneer with that, back in those days. I've continued ever since.

Now my sons are great athletes with the eldest playing college baseball and the youngest having been on 2 state and regional championship baseball teams. They workout daily and often come to me for advice with lifting and diet. (It's the only thing they actually will listen to me.) James recently did a bike tour with me. I did 50 miles and he did 30 miles. He thanked me for encouraging him to do this.

I am currently training to do a tri-athalon. Once a week, a friend and I do an hour of biking followed by a 6 mile run. Still working on the swimming. Every year I vow on January 1 to stretch more and this year, I've actually made it happen with yoga. It's part of keeping it fresh, new and, or course, balanced.
