Emily Sprong AAAI/ISMA Certified Master Personal Trainer Insanity Live Certified Instructor P90X Live Certified Instructor Kids and Teen Fitness Coach Certified Yoga Instructor

I could get back into shape relatively quickly after having each of my three oldest children. However, shortly after the birth my fourth child I lost track of myself as I searched for answers about his health. My son was eventually diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. Working out was the last thing on my mind and I gained a large amount of weight as well as struggled with back pain. A few years later, I began training at home with Insanity and I made a big transformation. A year later, I earned my first group exercise certification and began mom and tot classes in my neighborhood. A year after that, I was talking to a friend of mine and I mentioned I was thinking about

becoming a personal trainer. He said, "I have seen how fitness is really important to you. I think you should do it." A couple of weeks later he presented me with a check and said, "go get your cert". I became a trainer, but sadly he passed away shortly after this time. I was glad that I could share this gift with him and I have always remembered how much my friend believed in me. I have worked with everyone from children to elderly, athletes to the morbidly obese. My favorite classes are kid’s fitness and Insanity. I always tell my clients "let's become the best version of you", and I strive to help them reach their greatest potential.
