Education level
I have a BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an MA in education.  I am also an ACE certified personal trainer, and a VDoT certified run coach.

Professional Goal
I strive to help my clients at the most personalized level possible, honoring the beauty that every person is different.  Part of the success of my clients comes from the education that helps them to understand and appreciate their unique selves and needs.  My clients thrive when they stop comparing themselves to others and start looking into themselves for the answers their bodies already hold, waiting to be discovered.  With a positive attitude, we look at our bodies and our needs with a neutral eye, we do not worry about what we thought was "good" and "bad" about ourselves, we are simply open to all of the potential that is before us.

Testimonials
"I love working with Birgit! She’s positive and supportive and her previous career as an educator serves her clients well.  There's a customized weekly training for me, written on a whiteboard.  I appreciate that it is prepared with thought and personalized, and not  “one size fits all.” And, she has great playlists to accompany the workouts. She pushes me, but also listens when I beg for relief!  Important for a client who isn't young and wasn’t in great shape.   It has been a great return to personal training after a more than 6 year hiatus and I look forward to every week." -Paula, Personal Training Client
