"I feel better about myself and I'm in the best shape I've ever been. I have more energy and less aches and pains. Northwest Personal Training is the BEST!" - Sheila Trapold, Business Owner, 49 years young

Philosophy "I have committed myself to a life of health and fitness and strive to set an example for my clients, children, family and friends. Health and fitness has changed my life and I want to give that to others."
Getting fit starts in the heart. And where your treasure is, that is where your heart will be also. I treasure a long fulfilling life with my husband and children and one day grandchildren. That is going to take a conscious effort on my part to take care of this body God gave
me.
My confidence doesn’t come from my own abilities, but from Christ who lives inside of me. Did you know that life and death are in the power of the tongue? We can talk our way out of doing what is good for our bodies or we can decide in our heart and mind that something has to change. When we are able to put words to action our spirit can soar and achieve goals that we never thought were imaginable.
Client Base
I love to work with youth, seniors and all ages in between to support them in reaching their fitness goals. My strengths include program design that is well thought out and planned for each client’s fitness level. This includes stabilizing the body through balance, core, flexibility and strength training with a progressive approach. I provide motivation, encouragement and inspiration to help clients reach their goals and have fun.
