Why did you go into Personal Training?
From a very young age, I was always active. However, as I grew older, diet cultures and unrealistic body standards distorted my idea of “healthy.” Dieting and over-exercising became an unhealthy obsession. My initial pure intentions to be healthy ironically made me the unhealthiest I have ever been. After many years, I healed my relationship with food and ditched the diet culture. Then, I began to pursue the gym with a healthy mindset and took an interest in strength training. I gathered advice from others and spent a lot of time researching and reading books on strength and hypertrophy training. I learned how to properly fuel my body to build muscle and gain confidence. My ultimate goal is to help others find a love for fitness and confidence in their bodies.
Tori’s Success Stories
Tasha H.
I started working with Tori in November 2024 because I wanted to incorporate whole-body strength training into my routine. As a mom of three active young girls, I not only wanted to keep up with them (without injury!), but also to model good self-care. I had just gone through a stressful move and needed a space to focus on myself—somewhere away from the chaos of renovations and moving boxes.
As a distance runner, I’d also heard that cross-training could help improve my performance, so I was excited to give it a try.
From our very first meeting, Tori made a great impression. She really listened, and together, we created clear, achievable goals. Each week, she builds a routine that helps me move toward those goals, with a balanced mix of upper- and lower-body strength work. She also provided a full-body routine I could do on my own between sessions.
Tori is friendly, flexible, and makes the workouts genuinely enjoyable. She’s thorough in explaining how to use the equipment and always makes sure I have proper form when learning something new. I’ve learned so much about weight training during our time together, and I feel stronger and more confident because of it.
I would highly recommend Tori as a Personal Trainer, especially if you’re a beginner and looking for someone knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraging!

Tori has been instrumental in developing a program to improve my fitness. Initially, I would have monthly checkpoints to gain knowledge and tailor my program. Tori is inspirational. When I signed up for weekly sessions, I really became motivated, and I feel improvement every week. I look forward to achieving my goals and developing a maintenance program.
