Welcome to my site, I am Aviva, ​a fitness professional with over 20 years experience helping people reach their health, wellness, and weight loss goals. I got certified in 1997 through the American Council on Exercise and then I earned my degree in Exercise Science from Towson University in 2000; that was just the beginning of the journey. 

Training philosophy:
Goals may be short or long term. They may be a series of small goals that lead to a bigger destination or they may be a way to further the journey. Either way it is absolutely necessary to feel that goals are attainable and there is a plan to meet them.
Setting goals and reaching them is an integral part of my training philosophy and I strive to make sure private clients and classroom students feel like they are meeting or closing in on their goals.
A personal goal of mine-- I always wanted to be more flexible but 17 years ago I couldn't even touch my toes. Luckily it doesn't take that long to get there. 
Weight loss may be a goal but just as valid is the desire to feel better everyday, transform a sedentary lifestyle to a more active one, to be optimally healthy, and to improve or develop new skills.
