Welcome!
I'm glad you're here!
Hi! I'm Sam!
I started my fitness journey in my teens as a gymnast, which eventually propelled me into coaching and personal training. Workouts have been an anchor in my daily life ever since my dad first took me into the weight room and taught me basic lifts and the importance of proper form, something I have seriously carried into my own training. I have the same determination when it comes to the clients I work with. Throughout my own fitness journey, I learned that what inspires me most is empowering my clients. I do this through corrective training, adjusting mindset, and compassionate communication and accountability.

Mindset
By anchoring a healthy mindset to your physical practice, I want to encourage your full and
whole being to participate in achieving and exceeding your goals.
Nutrition
Slowly we will develop healthful habits that will effortlessly become a part of your healthy lifestyle changes! There is no “falling off the wagon” since we didn’t hop on one to begin with.
Corrective Training
We will establish your best self through corrective training practices, focusing on proper
movement patterns and finding balance within the body’s kinetic chain.
I understand that I am working with a person, with unique needs, and I take that into consideration with each of my clients, and not just for the focus of their overall program, but on a weekly basis. Life happens - I want to help you find the best solutions to your specific needs by continuously adjusting your workouts, your mindset, and your nutrition habits so that you can continue to thrive. I am going to give you the tools you need to heal yourself by showing you what you are capable of through a supportive process that relies on integrity and accountability. Throughout our time together, I want to teach my clients to become aware of how muscles feel, what their habits and obstacles are, redirecting focus back on the quality of movement and mindset. You can do this, and I can’t wait to show you just how strong and possible you are.

My style of training is dynamic. Clients are ever evolving when working with me on their personal fitness and health needs. I like to challenge my clients with new movements, increasing PRs (personal records), and in overcoming mental and physical blocks to their wellbeing. However, I always test and apply any training technique to myself before introducing it to you. Whether its progress in the gym, at home, or the inner-self (It’s common to see growth in all three areas at one time), I make it my duty to help you push limits and surpass goals. The drive and accountability that I provide will always be met with understanding and compassion.
Online Personal Training
Let me help you reach your health and fitness goals with all the conveniences of training in your own home, gym, or other personal space. I specialize in improving fitness, as well as body composition, and use physical training, nutritional coaching, and improvements in mindset to help you reach your goals. I believe in training the mind and the body and can deliver all of this to you through online workout and nutrition programs.
Continuous improvement and impeccable form are at the core of all of my programming. I believe that the quality of a workout is always more important than the quantity of reps. Continuous improvement is not limited to one type of workout or style, or the consistent increase in reps, but rather the focused attention to building upon what I like to call “your foundation.” This includes proper muscle activation, developing mobility, and building a stronger core. Form is crucial with any physical activity, and when established correctly, it will produce the ideal exercise technique, integrating functional movement patterns within the body and activating a stronger core. This is not complete without training your mind to come from a positive place throughout all aspects of your growth and development.

Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working with Samantha during the year 2011. I am a physical therapist and was looking for someone with creativity and knowledge that could breathe life into my workouts, assist with half-marathon training, as well as nutrition. She did all that and much more. Samantha has one of the best work ethics I have seen from a professional standpoint. She has multiple certifications demonstrating her diligence to learn new and more complex information. She was always prompt and respected a schedule which I appreciated, being a busy mom. She has an innate skill on how to observe not only physical form to prevent injury, but my thoughts before I even had to express them. She has an advanced knowledge base, and with her wonderful creativity, my time with Samantha was always fun and interesting, while providing me with the most challenging workouts I have ever done.
Ashley DeLapp
I have to start off by saying I have been to multiple training groups, boot camps, and met with a handful of personal trainers before ever meeting Sam, and have never experienced as much thorough work as I do with her. She is so knowledgeable in what she does and is constantly looking into new ways to do things with workouts, nutrition, stretching, and anything in between. She not only is so easy to get along with and makes working out fun (yet completely exhausting at the same time), but Sam cares so much about the everyday struggles that cause you to have setbacks throughout your weight loss and fitness journey, and will truly go above and beyond to try and help you get over those struggles. Whether they are a muscular imbalance and or chronic pain, a need to change things up to avoid getting bored, or even an emotional attachment to food, Sam finds ways to help you get past those and is so understanding of your journey. Sam has gone so truly above and beyond what I would’ve ever expected a trainer to do! This is what makes Sam so great to work with and I truly would recommend her to every person I meet.
Shelly Yerigan
Sam is an excellent coach. I have taken some of her classes at the YMCA and I really like how she is focused on helping people rather than just throwing random exercises at them. I have also had the pleasure of working out one-on-one with Sam. I am always looking to learn and Sam has always been the one who was willing to help me with that. I admire her because she is continuously educating herself and always trying to be better at her craft. She puts 100% effort and 100% percent heart into everything that she does. I have never met someone who is as knowledgeable as she is in muscles and she is always my go-to for information. I love learning from her and picking her brain. I consider her an expert in functional training and she really knows what she is doing. She is a fun, tough, and amazing coach. I would definitely send my clients over her way if I ever needed to. I trust her because she knows what she is talking about and she truly cares about her clients.
Naky Case
Sam is very knowledgeable about nutrition and I have learned so much about the benefits of intermittent fasting from her. She's great about customizing her advice to fit each individual's goals. However, she will also challenge you to attain beyond what you think you're capable of and will cheer you on the whole way! I'm so happy with the results I've had so far of weight loss and gaining muscle tone! Thanks, Sam!
Libby Johnson
I have used Samantha as a personal trainer for several years. I have found her to be an expert in her field. She is quite effective and very knowledgeable in nutritional aspects and designing exercise plans for individuals that are effective. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer.
David H. Steiner, M.D.
Sam really knows her stuff. I have never worked out with anybody who is so knowledgeable, precise, and detailed oriented about how they work out. She is very good about making workouts that are specific and tailored to each person, not just to herself, because we all are different people. I was running half/full marathons and 10 + years younger and still never had the same results as I get working out with Sam, today. I fully believe that she could get you in complete physical shape, with six-pack abs, without using any expensive equipment. She is so creative when coming up with exercises and modifies when needed. As an outsider, I see the results of her other clients and it amazes me. The major changes that I see are not with 20-something-year-olds, but people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Sam has the nutrition and the exercise down to a science and if you put your trust in her and follow her guidance, she can make changes in anyone (even a skeptic). She works hard for you, not for what is good for her, and this is what makes all the difference in the world and sets her apart as a personal trainer.
Tina Salmonson
While most people dread their much needed time with their personal trainer, I can't seem to get enough. Sam's flexibility and curated workouts not only feel accessible, but highlight her ability to teach anyone, anywhere. She embodies what modern day wellbeing should be, honoring the uniqueness of everyone's mind, body and spirit.
