Barb Blanchard

Barb is a Certified Personal Trainer with certifications through American Council of Exercise and the National Personal Trainers Institutue.  She also holds a certification as a Registered Yoga Teacher and has been in the fitness industry for 25 years.

Barb was athletic through her youth, especially enjoying gymnastics through Jr. High and High School. But in her 20's , as often happens, found herself gaining weight as a result of poor nutrition and lack of exercise. Her sister invited her to a Jazzercise class and it was love at first dance!  After taking classes for several years and losing 3 dress sizes Barb was back on the fitness track and became an instructor and owner of a Jazzercise franchise for over 5 years.

After a serious back injury Barb discovered Yoga.  This not only helped her back heal but strengthened her body and improved her balance and flexibility.  She loved the way the practice of Yoga improved her relationship with her body, taught her to experience all aspects of life in a deeper way and she became a certified Yoga Teacher in 2007.  Using both her Yoga and Personal Training expertise Barb is able to draw from a multitude of modalities to provide a balanced, safe and fun personalized program.  You will sweat, work hard, laugh and leave your session with a renewed spirit and feeling that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to! 

"I believe in order to really change the way your body looks and feels you have to start from the inside out; to virtually change your mind about what you think is possible for you."
