Whitney has been a personal trainer for nearly five years and has helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals — from weight loss and muscle gain to building strength in a pain-free way. She’s passionate about helping people move better and specializes in working with clients who experience injuries or general pain. Whitney is a certified personal trainer through NASM, a Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and has completed continuing education courses in running injuries and pain science under Greg Lehman.

Her favorite part of training is helping people feel confident in the gym and empowering them to get stronger while overcoming pain. Using a mix of dumbbells, barbells, bodyweight, and kettlebells, Whitney creates programs designed to help you look, feel, and move your best. Outside the gym, Whitney is an avid outdoor enthusiast who loves spending as much time as possible in nature. She and her husband are currently working on hiking all 46 High Peaks in the Adirondack Wilderness and have aspirations to complete the Rim-to-Rim Trail in the Grand Canyon.
