Fitness Training Expertise
As a championship &/or competitive athlete in soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, bodybuilding, and dance, Teresa’s base in 29 years in the fitness field was built on sports & athletics. Strength training, diet, flexibility, cardio vascular fitness & rehab from injury were key to her as an athlete—it became a way of life. Through her won personal need & interest to remain in top condition, rehab properly, and be as fit as possible, her educational & career direction were set.

Knowledge and schooling were key to serving her personal priorities as well as her passion & desire to teach, coach, and inspire other to also live healthy and fit lives. Studying several areas of health & fitness, Teresa obtained a BA , teaching credential, and the certifications listed on the left. Her knowledge has also allowed her to develop and maintain close working relationships with several health professionals in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area to better serve her clients.
