About Me
About Me
About Me
Hi, I’m Gina, your fitness coach.
After raising four children in Deerfield, I turned my passion for fitness into a career. I found my true calling working with adults 50+, helping them stay strong, steady, and independent.
As someone over 50 myself, I understand the physical challenges that come with aging. I became a Certified Specialist in Senior Fitness and Exercise Therapy to better support my clients through mobility issues, joint pain, and post-surgical recovery.
My clients often become like family, I support them far beyond the workout.

"I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Gina for several years. She is truly exceptional in her field. I’ve done private sessions with her and hope to continue those soon. I’ve also participated in her group classes, where I’m the oldest member — at 101 years old — and I’m still able to keep up with the group! I hope Gina is able to secure more sponsors so her classes can be offered at least weekly. She is a gem in the world of physical exercise."

“I’ve worked with many trainers over the years, but none compare to Gina. She understands the challenges that come with aging and always makes me feel supported, never judged. I look forward to every session and always leave feeling better than when I arrived.”

“When my husband passed, I struggled with both balance and motivation. Gina didn’t just help me physically — she lifted my spirits. She has a special way of making exercise feel safe, manageable, and even fun. I’m grateful for her kindness and expertise.”

“Gina helped me regain strength after shoulder surgery. I was nervous to move at first, but she guided me through every exercise with patience and encouragement. I’ve made more progress in six months with her than I did in years of physical therapy.”

“Training with Gina has improved every part of my daily life. I can get out of chairs more easily, walk longer distances, and feel more stable on stairs. Her knowledge, compassion, and attention to detail make all the difference. I recommend her to anyone 50 and up.”

“Working with Gina has been a blessing. I had trouble with balance and felt unsteady walking around my own home. Gina’s exercises were gentle but effective, and she always made sure I felt safe. I can move with much more confidence now, and my family notices the difference. She truly has a gift.”
