Hi, I'm Roxanne.
I have been working as a personal trainer since 2011, first in Santa Barbara, then Bend, and now in Redding, CA. I studied Kinesiology and played soccer in college, and started training right after I graduated. I have experience working with all demographics and fitness levels, from athletes to rehab patients to middle aged moms to 96 year old women. I’m no physical therapist but have a pretty good knowledge of corrective and rehab exercises, in addition to a sports background and a good knowledge of sport-specific training. I started doing online training with the hopes that it would allow people who couldn't afford a personal trainer or who couldn't make it to the gym consistently the one-on-one experience with the specific coaching that will influence and change the way they move for the rest of their lives.
Over the years I have become increasingly passionate about a person’s quality of movement. I train clients with a long term perspective in mind; to move well so that they are pain free and still active when they are 60, 70 and 80, rather than the primary goal of "getting your best body now" (where the results tend to go away as soon as you stop training at that intensity, and where proper movement mechanics aren't often addressed). Everything we do (whether you are 20 or 70) is to create and build upon a foundation so that you can enjoy movement and activity for the rest of your life.
I believe health is multi-faceted. While I believe that fitness is very important (and absolutely essential to living a healthy life), it is only one aspect to a person’s overall health. I believe we are designed to live as whole people, healthy physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. My deep joy in life is helping people become just that. Wherever you are at this point in your life, I am honored to come alongside you for whatever length of time I can to assist in that process.
Outside of training I love playing music, having meaningful conversations, and being comfortable enough with people to be really silly. I also really love my husband and my daughter.
