My name is Cindy Leonard. I’m a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) with plenty of experience in coaching and teaching. When I was a disability attorney at the Social Security Administration, I learned a lot about the various impairments that affect the general population. I also discovered that many conditions can be prevented with the right effort and strategies. Over time, I became more interested in the aging process, especially for women, and began studying how to adapt well to it instead of giving in or giving up.

While I love to work with people of all ages, my primary focus is on women who are going through perimenopause, menopause and beyond, as our bodies require a different type of support.

Turning 50, I found myself struggling with joint pain, back issues, and asthma. I also suffer from the occasional bouts of depression and anxiety. Worst of all, I seem to have a harder time losing the flab. People seldom talk about it, but these are all common symptoms of the perimenopause, menopause or even-post menopause stages in a woman’s life. In addition, I have two children (‘nuff said, right?). Thus, I truly understand how hard it is to find time to exercise and to take care of yourself while struggling with physical and mental or emotional challenges of getting older.

Having moved around the world a lot, I’ve picked up various adaptation and motivation techniques. But I discovered that people feel more excited about exercising and being active when they have someone to do it with them.

My goal is to become your personal cheerleader and exercise partner. Since I’m operating virtually, we can work out at any time that’s convenient for you, no matter where in the world you are located. (With some limitations of course, because I will be sleeping at some point, since that’s part of wellness too).
