FitByNic 2007 Overview

In the Year 2007 I began working at two different Country Clubs in the Desert as a Fitness Trainer - The Springs and Thunderbird Estates - both in Rancho Mirage. I also provide private fitness services for clients from the Enclave in La Quinta to Cardiac Rehabilitation at Desert Hospital. Most of my clients are over the age of fifty and are at various fitness levels.

The need for balance and core training are more important as we get older and I am proud to be one of the few female trainers who understands the needs of this group. I also work out with several different people at the Power of Fitness gym in Palm Springs and 24 Hour Fitness in Cathedral City. A also provide fitness support at a local drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Palm Springs,  which will be “spotlighted” in the upcoming months.

I have continued to seek ways of improving and educating myself to provide the utmost excellence and up-to-date information to those I serve. Through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Fitness Journal magazines I have received certificates for “Women’s Health Issues”, “Nutrition”, “Business Ethics”, and “Mind-Body-Spirit Workout”. I was also a ‘boot camp’ participant, taught by Bravo’s Workout Jackie Warner. {Look for FitByNic’s first boot camp coming up in 2008!}

The workshops, classes and boot camps, combined with my own training, all serves to provide you with the best in Professional Fitness in the Desert. Because I believe in working the “whole” body, mind and spirit, I also participated in a New Moon Ceremony and a Winter Solstice Celebration facilitated by Mariana Mendoza. ( For more information on these and more go to Urban Yoga or marim@marisarts.com) Yoga, along with the practices of Tai Chi and Qi Gong are also helpful in reducing stress and addressing issues for the ‘Whole Body’. As I am a student as well as you, go to the search engine and type in either yoga, tai chi and/or Qi gong for further information.

Thank you again for a wonderful 2007!
