About Me
Meet Your Coach
Hi, I am Darla,
I am a qualified 60-year-old fitness professional with over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry. My skillset coupled with years of life experience places me in a unique position to better help people of all ages and understand issues that come along with the aging process.
Having suffered injuries, surgeries, and managing menopause, clients feel more comfortable knowing that I can truly understand how they feel if they are going through midlife symptoms, health, or medical setbacks.
I create individual programs specific to meet the needs of each person and a positive overall experience. My teaching philosophy for fitness, including nutrition is realistic and sustainable because that is the real goal – a healthy lifestyle.
I am a very interactive trainer and coach providing daily support and motivation to my clients. Whatever your age or circumstance, I possess the skills to help you achieve a healthier, happier you.
Remember you’re never too old and it’s never too late to change your life.
Education and Experience
My education includes degrees in Biological Science, Natural Life Science, international fitness certifications, and specialized courses in health and nutrition. I also take ongoing continuing education courses required for certification and to stay updated in the fitness field.
I possess essential life experience working with clients for over 30 years.
I am a trained certified sports and deep tissue massage practitioner but no longer practice.
I am a freelance health and fitness writer, fitness expert, and avid blogger. My works are published/featured online with Verywell Fit and appear in well-known magazines including Natural Muscle.
Other Information
Blogging is my gift to you and includes personal shares, fitness information, motivation, and plenty of helpful tips. I prepare fresh content weekly and as a subscriber, you will receive a free subscription delivered directly to your inbox.
I am a pro-aging advocate and never use filters on any social media posts because getting older should be truly represented and shown as a positive and natural part of our lives.
I am a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
