I’m Gwenn, a freelance fitness-wellness writer, a level-4 ACE-certified* Personal Trainer (25 years), and a certified yoga instructor and coach in California. Physically active as a teen dancer, hotfooting it to the big fitness world was in plain sight. After certifying in personal training and group fitness, coaching in a few health clubs became master training turf for my future. Corporate fitness programs followed, which is where I found coaching elegance in the C-suite terrain. I was in two brilliant worlds of learning and teaching.  I spent off-hours creating health and fitness newsletters. These broadcasts became my perfect 24/7 digital marketing tool, and I sometimes received the best compliment for any writer: “When is the next one?”  In 2008, I opened a yoga-fitness center where I train clients in group and private sessions 4 days a week. Along with that, managing the business demands broader marketing recipes in website maintenance, landing page marketing, and more fitness newsletters, which are all self-executed responsibilities. Running a successful online fitness accessories store for 7 years enabled excellent website design training.   My creative side carries outside my center’s four walls. I write about self-improvement, personal training, exercise, and yoga, where I am at peace (and at play!). Recently published articles/contributions include Fit&Well, AskMen, Eat This Not That, and Yell Wellness. I'm ready for more. If your wellness project banks on information with integrity -- and a bit of sparkle -- I might be your gal. Shall we chat?
