"I believe that health and fitness is a lifelong journey. I meet clients where they are on this path, assessing their capabilities, listening to their goals and designing an individualized, research-based program that will help them realize their unique potential," she explains. A certified personal trainer through National Academy of Sport Medicine (NASM), Sharon also holds certificates in kettlebell training and boot camp instruction.

In addition to personal training, the ACE-certified group exercise instructor also shares her passion for fitness by teaching boot camp and other classes. Good health has not always come easy for Sharon. "I've had my battles with the scale and at one time was diagnosed with prediabetes and high cholesterol. That was the wake-up call I needed. I had seen the toll these conditions had taken on family members. I slowly worked my way back to a healthy weight and reversed these conditions through sensible diet and exercise. Now, I am truly healthy, in the best shape of my life and full of energy. I love it when people think I am 10 years younger than I am."
