I have been, in some way, a part of the fitness industry since 2009. I played four years in collegiate volleyball, which set me up to understand the benefits of a team atmosphere and using fitness as an escape and not a punishment. It also taught me a thing or two on Olympic lifts, lifting heavy and how to do it while keeping yourself safe from injuries.

Following college, I searched for a new community that had the same passions as me...working out, running, indulging in sweets and trash reality TV. I found that community at HJF and I'm so glad I did!

My goal is to help you find a community that shows you that working out is so much more than just lifting or cardio. It's finding a space where you can reach your fitness goals while being yourself, never feeling judged and always having someone to discuss what happened on Love Island.

The Herdman clan is a family of four: my extremely supportive husband Andrew, my loving and very busy son Hudson, and my annoying (but we love him?) grey cat Lyle. I have a full time job that I love, so I guess you could call me a marketing guru by day and group personal trainer by early mornings!
