Hi everyone! My name is Ruby and I live in Atlanta, Ga. I have been a life-long athlete: 14 years of soccer, 4 years of college rugby, 3 years of Brazilian Jujitsu, and 5 years of volleyball. I also started lifting weights when I was in high school as a way to find strength and empowerment and was a member of the power lifting team. In high school, I started working at a local gym and earned my first NASM certification. During my 4 years at Georgia Tech, I was a competitive bodybuilder and taught a crossfit class every week, even competing occasionally in crossfit. During these last 2 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I had to be creative with my fitness regimens. I learned how to use resistance training and body workouts to stay fit. I brought volleyball and yoga classes to my community and even taught a year long boxing program. I also have 2 years of experience teaching senior citizen exercise classes. I also love MMA and plan to compete in the future.

What to Expect

Well, it depends on the client! Our first meeting will be a consultation to discuss goals, scheduling, ability, etc. The first session could vary drastically between HIIT/circuits, body weight, or a full on weight training (plan for 1 hour with some conversation before/after). It absolutely depends on the client and sometimes it can take a couple of exploratory sessions before finding what suits someone. My sessions will be about you and what you enjoy!

Client Success Story

At Georgia Tech, I worked as a personal trainer for the campus gym and recreation center. One of my clients was a blind man who always came in with his service dog. This man was overweight, pre-diabetic and had limited experience in the gym. Together, over a period of 6 months, he lost 45 pounds in a way that was sustainable - foods he liked, activities he enjoyed. I have had many amazing success stories, especially with young women I have helped to build strength and confidence in (even my own friends and family!). I am a major proponent of women with muscle!
