My passion has always been to help others in their pursuit of fitness and wellness. After spending 20+ years working in Corporate America, (from entry level sales to a position as a Corporate VP), I took the plunge, and in 1993 I opened my first personal training studio. I still remember how excited I was to finally follow my passion. Though, at the time I was 44 years old, emotionally I felt like a kid again. With the energy and excitement of a 20 year old I believed (innocently) that I was going to help everyone who walked into my door. Need to lose weight? No problem! Increase energy? I have the answer! Want to lower blood pressure and cholesterol? OK! I can help. Little did I know at the time that although I knew I could help these people with those issues, it wasn’t working. Most clients worked out hard with me in the studio, but getting them to do cardio on their own or eating right even for a week was a challenge. There had to be a better way. I spent countless hours reading and studying on every subject pertinent to my goal. I received other certifications (NASM CPT, AFAA CPT, AFPA Certified Nutrition Counselor…) I studied under the best leaders in our industry (Phil Kaplan, Paul Chek, John Parrillo), I learned about psychology, you name it, all in the pursuit of increasing compliancy for my clients. What I soon came to realize was I needed a system and a protocol for my clients, one that would educate and motivate them as they were experiencing positive physical change. It took me 10 years (slow learner) to create Stop The Confusion. Stop The Confusion is a proven method, or protocol if you will, that teaches people how to live in a healthy, fit body. Since applying Stop The Confusion with my clients, adherence has increased to such a point that I now guarantee their success. From years of learning, and by trial and error, Stop The Confusion was born and now proudly I can say I wrote the book so you too can live in a healthy, fit body. I guarantee it!
