| Trainer Philosophy Our bodies are meant to be active, but technology and busy schedules have fooled us into more sedentary lifestyles. Maintaining an active lifestyle helps to boost energy, improve moods and allows us to achieve a higher level of function in our day to day lives. We work hard to maintain our cars and homes, so start focusing on what is the most important-- you! Once you begin to live a more active lifestyle you will be able to enjoy daily living on a new level. It is amazing what we are capable of if we just push ourselves a little bit. Why not improve your health and well being, and have fun while doing it? Schedule an appointment with Kellie: kmcgeoy@paloaltojcc.org |

Physical & Mental Preparedness for Competition | |
| Trainer Philosophy My goal is to design complete, individual fitness programs for all who want to strengthen and integrate mind, body, and soul. Through a combination of well-rounded training and positive coaching lies the foundation for building strength through awareness of the entire body, thoughts and emotions. Building core strength starts from within. As we build our physical strength, we can simultaneously build our inner strength by achieving balance of the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional bodies. The strength, confidence and energy gained from personal training enhances all areas of your life. By healing ourselves, we help heal the planet and everyone on it. My training as a Reverend with a Bachelor of Theology Degree gives me the unique tools needed to facilitate that healing process. Schedule an appointment with Soraya: scobb@paloaltojcc.org |
