History
Established in 2021.
After 13 years of training clients at local gyms, even trying my hand at fitness management for a few years, I made the decision to go out on my own.
Each franchise I’d worked with had some great ideas, but none quite matched my training style and focus on the psychological aspects of fitness:
What makes folks stick with it? How can we spark a Fire Inside each client?
My vision is more than just getting folks in shape. I want to ignite the fire within them, so fitness is no longer a chore. I want to reframe your feelings about working out.

Fire Inside Fitness is the realization of a dream.
I had been obese throughout my childhood and teen years, dealing with low self-esteem and just generally unhappy. I began working out in my early twenties, and let me tell you – I struggled! But I kept going: I didn't like how I'd felt before and I wasn't willing to go back.
At some point, I realized that I was actually enjoying this. It gave my life more purpose: a goal for each day, independent of my personal and professional goals. I enjoyed it so much, that I decided I wanted to help others feel this way too!
So I looked into which certifications were most sought-after, attained my NASM CPT and began working my way through just about every high–end gym in Connecticut (yes, even THAT one,) learning a bit from each experience until I felt I was finally ready to step out on my own. Now I find myself blessed with the opportunity to provide top-tier training to Fairfield/New Haven counties (and the world via virtual training!)
