Frances Carty  | Certified Personal Trainer

Greetings!

My name is Frances Carty. I’ve had the pleasure of working at Active Body and Health as a personal trainer since August 2006! This wonderful atmosphere fosters friendships, respects individuality and truly promotes health. It’s been my privilege to meet most of you at there. I look forward to meeting the rest of you soon.

Oddly though, I never imagined myself becoming a personal trainer. I was always the last person picked for team sports. In fact, my husband and I laugh about the fact that he taught me how to catch! My passion/sport was classical ballet. Obviously, ballet requires a lot of flexibility and strength so I started strength training to improve my dancing. The improvements were amazing. However, after two children, I hung up my ballet slippers to pursue other activities. I steadfastly continued lifting weights because I wanted to stay strong and shapely! Working out gave me everything that I needed and so much more! Now, I had more energy, more strength and stronger bones! Working out made me happy. I joined a gym, took lots of group classes and worked out to videos at home. I added a yoga practice that has deeply enriched my life. Still, something was missing. I wasn’t helping others. I genuinely want to help others meet their personal goals. Now, I a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise and can’t wait to help others get started, ditch those last five pounds or improve their time on their next 5K race.

The strength that I offer to you mirrors my personal philosophy; which is a constant dedication to self-improvement. I am life long learner. That translates into a promise to you to be fresh and enthusiastic. I will attend conferences and research the latest exercises to deliver challenging and fresh routines for you!

Every day is a happy day - enjoy yours!
