Fit Pickleballer

19 yrs Elite Physique, now combining my pickleball passion. Teaching pickleball lessons in Santa Rosa Beach. Fit Pickleballer-Where Fitness Meets Fun!

I am beyond excited to kickstart this new journey with you all as the founder of Fit Pickleballer! 🎉 Let me tell you a bit about myself and how this all began.

🏊‍♀️Former FSU Swimmer: Swimming has been a significant part of my life, and it instilled in me a deep appreciation for fitness.

💪 Over 17 Years owning my Personal Training biz: As a seasoned personal trainer, I've had the privilege of he

lping numerous individuals achieve their fitness goals and lead healthier lives.

🏓 Pickleball Addict for 4 Years: Four years ago, I discovered the magic of pickleball, and there was no turning back! The thrill of the game, the camaraderie on the court, it's all simply addictive!

🔍 Bridging the Gap: In my pickleball journey, I noticed a crucial aspect missing – specific training to strengthen the muscles used in pickleball, along with mobility and lateral movement exercises to prevent injuries and build stamina.

🏋️‍♀️ Fit Pickleballer's Injury Prevention Program: This is where Fit Pickleballer comes in! I'm combining my passion for pickleball and my expertise in fitness to create an exclusive Injury Prevention program tailored for all you pickleball enthusiasts out there.

🌊 Personal and Fun Tidbits: When I'm not on the court or working on fitness programs, you can find me cherishing life's simple pleasures. I'm blessed to be married to my best friend for 25 years, and together, we share our home with three adorable cats. I spend time weekly volunteering at my favorite animal refuge, Alaqua. Living near the beach allows me to soak in the calming presence of the Gulf, especially during breathtaking sunsets, which are some of my favorite moments. And yes, I'm also a 🍷 wine lover, indulging in a glass now and then to celebrate life's victories!

🤗 I can't wait to embark on this journey with each one of you. Fit Pickleballer aims to be more than just a wellness business; it's a community where we celebrate our love for fitness, pickleball, and everything in between! 🎾 Let's strengthen those pickleball muscles, prevent injuries, and have a ton of fun together!

What an amazing, beautiful, warm day to play Pickleball! ☀️ I got in three hours of personal play time, and it was incredible. But the best part? As I was leaving I looked around and saw my students—past and present—on three different courts, practicing, improving, and building community together.

I left with a tired body and a full heart ❤️ Nothing lights me up more than seeing this community thrive!🎉🥰

Still Feeling All the Birthday Love!

My heart is SO full. The celebration didn’t stop after Sunday’s Alaqua event… it kept going right into my official birthday on the 8th, and wow — what an incredible day.

I woke up to breakfast in bed from my amazing hubby, surrounded by my sweet kitties (the best way to start any day!). Then I got to do one of my favorite things… play pickleball! 💗

Later John made the most delicious “early-bird” steak dinner at 3pm — and honestly, I think I’m officially a fan of the 3pm dinner club. 😂🥩

And the celebration didn’t stop there… Monday rolled right into coaching my Open Play crew, who then surprised me by joining me at Tommy Bahama to keep the birthday fun going!

I’m overwhelmed by the love — the calls, the texts, the posts, the hugs, and all the people who showed up in person. I’m truly blessed to live such a full, wonderful life surrounded by amazing humans.

Thank you ALL for making me feel so celebrated. 💕 I feel the love — and I’m carrying it with me into another fabulous year!

I’m so excited to share that I’m featured TODAY in the World Pickleball Summit!

You can watch my interview (and all the other amazing speakers!) with free 24-hour access.

Come join us and soak up all the good stuff!

Unboxing time! I’m so excited (and so grateful!) — Body Helix and Flik Pickleball sent me several paddles for my clients to demo! 🙌

They’ve seen how many people I’ve been helping learn and fall in love with pickleball, and they wanted to support the growth of the sport (how awesome is that?!). 💚

These paddles are available for my students to try out during lessons and clinics, and Body Helix is even offering special discounts for those in my 6-week programs!

My personal favorite so far? The Flik F1 — I’m loving the power, control, and pop! ⚡

When it comes to paddles, it’s all about the feel. Everyone’s different, and being able to test a few out before you buy makes such a difference.

👉 If you want to come try these out and see which one feels best for you, reach out — I’d love to get you hooked up!

Confession time 😅 — I’m so guilty of just wanting to play when I have free time. But as pickleball players, if we really want to up our game, we’ve got to make time to drill!

Drilling helps us master those key shots, build consistency, and gain confidence when it counts most.

John and I carved out some time to do just that — and it felt great!

I’m committing to start drilling more regularly… how about you? 👇

Do you make time to drill, or are you more of a “let’s just play” kind of player?

John and I made our way to Austin today for a very special reason — to celebrate the life of my amazing brother, Glenn, who passed away last month.

We decided to come a day early and were able to take part in an incredible Racquet Pro pickleball certification course (created by 🏓). Thank you, Jeff Rausch, for an awesome day!

I’m always striving to learn, grow, and become a more impactful coach — and I’m extra excited that John got certified too!

It’s been a meaningful start to what I know will be an emotional but beautiful weekend — honoring Glenn’s life, sharing stories, and being surrounded by family. ❤️

My heart is full after such a fun private pickleball lesson with 5 amazing ladies! 💚

We worked on drop shots, resets, and strategy, but mostly we laughed, learned, and had a blast.

So grateful I get to do what I love — helping others grow their game and have fun on the court! 🙌

THANK YOU, ladies for allowing me to be part of your Pickleball journey! Y’all killed it🙌🏻🙌🏻
