My Bio

Born and raised in Belgium, I married my best friend some 29 years ago and crossed the pond with him. Together, we have three wonderful grown-up children, and a great daughter-in-law.

I stayed home and raised the kids until my last one was in third grade, at which point I went to work part-time for a fund raising company that we eventually bought and ran it for 7 years.  In 2004, I started to teach aerobics classes at the YMCA, and went on to teach Silver Sneakers.  I became a Personal Trainer and create the YMCA's now famous Boot Camp program.

I left the Y to become a physical therapy assistant for a chiropractor, but some of my clients at the YMCA asked me to continue to train them at my home--the birth of Barb's Fit U.

I eventually chose to devote myself completely to Personal Training.  I have gone on to become a corporate personal trainer with Royal Oil and Gas in Indiana, Pa, and have developed NEWAY, a weight management system. 

I am presently pursuing my education and am accepting speaking engagements on the subject of healthy lifestyle.  My future?  Filled with joy!  I have the best job in the world...
