Nothing Average About Me


I’m not your average personal trainer. 
I’m the one that puts you through a grueling workout in the privacy of your home.  From time to time we head outside to perform some exercises that shouldn’t be done inside…..and to keep things fresh. 
I don’t create workout plans that follow the current trends.  Although I’m quite cognizant of the latest and greatest. 
Know this too…..when you invest your hard earned money into my fitness program, I am wholly invested in you. 
Sessions starting at $30 per hour.  727-418-9127  Ask for Michelle.

Green Tea Extract May Protect Skin from Sun Damage


Tea Extract May Protect Skin from Sun Damage

A recent study has revealed that taking green tea extract and vitamin C appears to protect human skin from sun damage.  Participants in this study were given 540mg of green tea catechins and 50mg of vitamin C per day for 12 weeks.  Their skin was exposed to UV radiation prior to and at the end of the trial period.  Biopsies showed that the catechins had been incorporated into the skin, offering protection from sunburn inflammation and potentially from long-term damage. 
To Your Health,
