Hi, my name is Wendy and I am a running coach with the Energy for Life Fitness Team.

My passion for women’s fitness stems from my passion to see women lead richer, fuller lives – to grow in self-confidence and to unleash their potential. As a Life Coach, many of my clients are searching for balance. And leading a balanced life requires focus and energy on mind, spirit AND body. The beauty is that whenever we improve one area, the other two benefit as well. That’s the power of synergy! I currently hold my Personal Trainer Specialist Certification with Can-Fit-Pro in addition to serving as a professional Life Coach and Certified Teacher/Trainer of Adults.

My primary athletic hobby (or addiction?) is running. I have completed several marathons and half marathons, trail runs and dozens of shorter races. I’m hooked on the “runner’s high” and love to break a good sweat. It just feels so rewarding. When I run, I compete against myself. I set personal goals based on my abilities and work to achieve them. The best part is that improvement = winning. That way, we all get to be winners!

When I'm not pounding the pavement, I spend as much time as possible with my husband and 3 amazing kids. I love to go hiking, play board games, watch movies or dance around the kitchen (when no one's looking). I love to laugh, to spend time with friends, to engage in deep conversations and to help others who are less fortunate.

“To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.” —William James (1842-1910)
