Jill has been in the fitness industry since the age of 19, when on an invitation from her roommate 
who worked in a gym/spa, she found herself in aerobics classes and discovered a new passion: EXERCISE! One day the instructor was a no-show and the other women encouraged Jill to jump up and lead them (She was always in the front row, you see). Being a naturally "unshy" person, she did just that. She was hooked and quickly became certified as a class instructor which eventually segued into personal training.
She went on to become certified in all types of class instruction: Aqua aerobics, muscle sculpting, kickboxing, step classes and yoga. She has been an instructor/trainer in Europe, New York City and is now based in Los Angeles, where she trains all types - from celebrities who need to be red carpet ready to the hardest working people on the planet: Moms! She trains beginners and athletes, males and females, adults and kids- - all ages and all levels. Jill prides herself on creating a workout ethic and atmosphere suited just for YOU, from favorite moves to your favorite music!
Jill is constantly engaged in ongoing fitness education; whether it be workshops to check out new exercise trends or updating existing certifications or the basics: CPR/First Aid. She also has a very strong background in nutrition and performs weight loss seminars around the city (DVDs available). Jill was voted Best Cardio Instructor by ExerciseTV Online in 2009.
Jill loves what she does and it shows. From her positive attitude to the helping hand feedback given on motivation and other issues that "stick" us, (Check out her LIFECOACH service) she sees again and again lives changed not only by the physical metamorphosis that proper diet and regular exercise will provide but also by the mental changes that go hand in hand with taking charge of your health and treating yourself better: Mind, Body & Soul!!!
Jill has been "lifecoaching" since the age of 11. No, that isn't a typo; She really started around that time and here's the scoop: When Jill was in the fourth grade, a PE teacher "caught" her playing Dr. Phil to her friends. Some of them were in a fight and Jill made them sit in a circle while she figured out the problem and what they should do about it. Jill can't remember the details of what she said but what the teacher heard resonated with her and she mentioned it to Jill. Jill then became aware of her problem solving abilities. By the age of 13, when people she knew were getting married, Jill could tell if it would last or not. She could "see" problems in relationships with people whether they were married or dating or even just family problems. Jill also realized she had certain God-given abilities when she watched talk shows of all things! When the show host or an audience member would ask a question to one of the psychologist or psychiatrists on the panel, Jill was thinking the answer before they gave it! Jill realized she possessed very intrinsic, instinctual and intuitive solutions to problems and she had no idea how!!! Jill doesn't wish to sound too "new agey" but the only way she can describe it is to say it's as if Jill was born with a masters degree in psychology. Yes, I have taken courses of all kinds in the field but to be honest (and I don't mean to sound arrogant) I didn't learn anything I didn't already know!
