My mission is to inspire, motivate and support the health, fitness and well being of my clients. My approach to personal training incorporates a balance of traditional strength training and innovative balance and agility training with cardiovascular work and education about fitness. It’s equally important to have a good time and find balance in your daily schedul. I provide my clients with individualized programs developed to meet their goals in a timely, fun and safe manner. I also offer classes throughout the year to keep your workouts ‘fresh’. Spring brings a weekly running group – great for race training, a good way to start running or an overall boost to a tired running routine. I’ve had people of all ages and sizes in my running class, and it’s been a pleasure to see them progress over the season and come back year after year. My weekly woman’s strength training classes are not only a wonderful way to get fit, they provide entertainment while doing so and are and affordable way to benefit from a personal trainer. I consider my specialties to be beginning/intermediate strength training, running, swimming and triathlon. I am a well-rounded trainer, able to incorporate varied work out plans so you can stay on target and enjoy being fit.

As someone who did not become an athlete until adulthood, I train others in hopes that fitness will bring them the same pride and confidence it has brought me. My passion for training others is a direct result of the training I have endured myself. I am constantly setting new goals for myself, whether improving my half marathon time, completing a marathon or placing in my age group in a triathlon. In meeting these goals I have empowered myself in ways I never thought possible. I want to help all my clients do the same. My greatest joy comes from seeing my clients realize their own potential: running a 5K or a marathon, climbing stairs without pain or climbing Mount Rainier, doing one push up or 10 pull ups.

My desire to motivate and inspire others in their quest of a healthy life began way back when I was 5 years old and broke my leg on the monkey bars (the day before our family’s cross-country summer vacation…but that’s another story). My mother enrolled me in dance lessons, which I absolutely loved. That is, until Miss Ballet Teacher told me (at age 10!) that I was too fat for toe shoes (but again…a story for another time). Thus began my history in team sports—soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball and track—from grade school throughout college. In college I began to teach aerobic classes, changed my major from Political Science to Exercise Science (at the horror of my parents), and embarked on this amazing career in fitness and health.
Over the years I have taught a myriad of fitness and sport-conditioning classes; developed speed & agility programs for college athletes; worked extensively with skiers, athletes, and those new to fitness; and have been taught more grace and endurance than I ever imagined possible from clients suffering from chronic illnesses and life’s challenges. I incorporate my knowledge and experience into whatever the client needs at the given moment, and we take it from there.
Yoga and its teachings are a large influence in any client session, and private or semi-private yoga sessions are a wonderful way to experience this ancient art and science. Whether you have never practiced yoga before, have injuries to care for, or would simply like to deepen your practice outside of regular classes, private sessions provide a rare opportunity to focus specifically on your goals and desires. Although it can be quite rigorous and a fantastic “workout”, yoga offers far more than the physical postures and should never be intimidating or humiliating (although a good dose of humility never really hurt anyone!).

JD GREEN :: 206-949-8746
I've been a CPT since January of 2006 and loved every minute of it. My worst day being a Personal Trainer STILL outshines my BEST DAY doing anything else, and there's one reason for that... my clients. I work with some of the toughest people out there. From long distance hikers to cancer survivors, to people who just want to get into better shape.
There is a way to have fun through the "growing pains" of getting into shape. And finding that one exercise that becomes the touchstone or turning point for people is one of my favorite things. Weight loss shouldn't ALWAYS be the answer key for judging success. My focus is always first going to be functionality and strength endurance, then I'll move on to body shaping. This progressions not only delivers faster results, but provides a better foundation from which to grow on.

I have worked as a certified personal fitness trainer since 2003, training individuals and groups of all ages and abilities. My purpose as a trainer is to help others experience the vitality and inspiration that exercise can provide. Drawing on my knowledge of fitness as well as my extensive background in education, I strive to design workouts that are creative and fresh while incorporating movement that is appropriate to my clients’ abilities. Progressing at a safe and consistent rate, I like to focus on building a strong and stable core, and from there develop functional fitness that allows my clients to do the things they most love to do whether it be gardening or competing in a triathlon. In particular, I love to work with women who are new exercisers, returning to an active lifestyle, or looking to take their current fitness to a higher level. I get a huge charge from things like teaching a non-swimmer how to swim, or helping someone develop muscles they never knew they had, or training women who are ready for new challenges such as a longer triathlon or perhaps a climb up Kilimanjaro!
I hope that through exercise, my clients discover a New Outlook on their fitness and can experience it as an indispensable component to a life time of physical health and well-being.

I believe in setting short-term goals in all aspects of life: working hard, playing hard, and partying hard! It’s all about balance. My passion comes from helping my clients reach their individulal, specific goals. Each client must identify what motivates them and from there I create a program to meet their goals within given amount of time. My clients work hard, play hard, and party hard. Their workouts are intense and specific to their lifestyles.
