Prior to my career in fitness and personal training, I spent over 13 plus years in the contract furniture industry, during which time I held various titles,  among these, CAD Designer, Account Manager and Project Manager. After 8 years at Knoll (now Miller-Knoll), I spent an additional 5 years working at various Knoll and Haworth dealerships. It was then I realized that working in the office furniture industry was no longer as personally rewarding for me as it had been previously.

Because exercise/fitness had always been an integral means of stress relief and personal growth and development, I decided, then, that I wanted to take the steps necessary to become a certified personal trainer.  It was (and still is) the best career move I’ve made to date.

I enrolled at The American Academy of Personal Training and completed their three-month intensive program, which included practical hands-on training and exercise instruction. Following completion of the program, I was hired by 24 Hour Fitness, and worked with them for 11 years. I held various positions, including Fitness Manager, until the start of the pandemic in 2020. Presently, I’m a fitness entrepreneur running my own personal training business, JAGFITNESS.
