About

Hi there! Welcome to Fitness Perks, LLC + the EnjoyYourHealthyLife Blog. 

My name is Annette, and I am a 20-something, newlywed; and a fitness/health/nutrition and wellness guru!

I have the credentials to prove it too, check ‘em out:

*B.S. in Exercise Science : Fitness and Wellness Management, with a Minor in Nutritional Science <—completed personal training courses during this time as well

*M.S. in Exercise Science : Health Promotion (done!) 

*Certified Group Exercise Instructor (formats include BodyPUMP, Zumba, CXWORX, GRIT, PiYo, Pilates, Swimming, Weight Training, Water Aerobics)

*A virtual Health/Disordered Eating Recovery/Fitness Coach for YOU (and friends) HERE at this very website. (Check out THIS POST to find out more details of why I did this for others!) All services are listed HERE. 

*placed in the top 20 (for my age group) for a marathon in 2008 (see my races here)

*completed a Half IronMan Triathlon in August 2012

I love to workout, dance, help others achieve THEIR potential, and motivate people to live a happy, healthy life. I am truly my most happy when I am teaching, training, & coaching.

Hence why the Fitness Perks, LLC Coaching Services were born!

After struggling with disordered eating, exercise addictions, yo-yo dieting, sugar binges, anorexia/bulimia tendencies, and dancing my way through it all, I have come to peace with what health really means.

I am a dancer, runner, swimmer, Pilates guru, BodyPUMP/Zumba/CXWORX/GRIT certified instructor, who loves to read, swim, ski, be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, watch movies, hike, sleep under the stars, laugh, be with family & friends, and most of all, spend quality time with my amazing husband. 

I totally LOVE my huge family!! (however, not all enjoy being featured on the blog)

And my husband is the bombdotcom. Seriously

More of me in a nutshell:

• I love lifting weights, eating caramel, watching funny youtube movies, sleeping, reading books, watching movies, hanging out with my amazing friends, taking vacations, swimming, foam rolling, sitting in the sun, praying, wearing anything pink or sparkly, taking hot showers, eating ice cream or fro yo, buying fitness apparel & wearing said stuff to teach in, traveling, stretching, enjoying Cafe Rio with my husband, and so much more! You’ll get to see even more of who I am on the daily blog posts. You’re welcome.

If you’re still not sick of me yet, learn more about me in this page: the Fitness Perks Lady.

Also, if you’re curious, my weekly fitness routine can be found HERE. (January 2013)

I am pretty much here (virtually) to guide, instruct, motivate, help, cheer, & hopefully lead you to a happier, healthier you as I share tidbits of my (mostly!) healthy life on the blog.

p.s. I also offer personalized coaching–including fitness goals and disordered eating recovery for individuals via telephonic sessions, virtual personal training, one-on-one customization, & written nutritional analyses.

Health is defined differently for each of us, so my hope is to help guide and motivate you to that definition of health you are aching to achieve through my own personal blog & education that I share –and your comments will help me out as well! I LOVE hearing from readers.

Please feel free to contact me at EnjoyYourHealthyLife {at} gmail {dot} com at any time, I love answering questions!!

Thank you for stopping by!
