Highlights

Remind yourself every day, ‘I can do hard things,’  even if something seems difficult or even impossible. You are made to do it. This applies to all aspects of your life, not just fitness. There is nothing more empowering than doing something you didn’t think you could do.

Heather has helped her clients and athletes achieve massive change through strength training, high-intensity exercise, and balanced eating habits.

Heather has been featured in several national and regional publications and podcasts where she contributes her unique perspective on training, diet, and lifestyle change. She has graced the cover of Oblique Magazine and was selected as a STRONG Fitness Magazine “Woman to Watch.” Heather has also created a solid, engaged following of her high-intensity workouts through her Instagram page. Heather has worked with all types of people, ranging from a 12-year-old female soccer team to an elderly man recovering from a heart transplant. Because her training is based on solid science and research, not short-term “fixes” or fads, Heather’s methodology proves to be effective for every walk of life.
