DARLA O'BRIEN, OWNER & CERTIFIED PERSONALTRAINER
"There is nothing more satisfying than working one-on-one with a client and watching them flourish through exercise," says the company's owner, Darla O'Brien. Her personal touch is exactly what sets her apart in the industry.
Nominated for the prestigious award "2009 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year", Darla has experience motivating and inspiring fellow trainers and her clients for over 25 years while guiding them toward the ultimate goal - that perfect balance through exercise.
"It's important to exercise," says Darla, "but the most important element is using the correct form. This avoids injury and attains optimum results in a shorter time. The small group environment allows the ability to do exactly that."
Darla's clients include professional athletes, cultural icons, celebrities and physicians. Certifications include ACSM, ACE, AFAA and NFPT.
