Her Interview
Ten minutes with Cindy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a lifelong commitment to sports, fitness, and continuous growth, along with the strong foundation and support I received from my parents, who have always been my role models. My experiences coaching youth athletes helped shape my passion for helping others build confidence, strength, and resilience. I am also grateful for the encouragement of my studio owner, who supported my professional development, encouraged me to pursue certifications, and gave me the opportunity to create programs that positively impact the lives of others. Through dedication, ongoing learning, and a genuine desire to empower people, I continue to grow both as a trainer and as a mentor.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Love what you do, and make a difference in their lives.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is the changing landscape of fitness, including the increase in schools offering in-house training programs, which has reduced opportunities for outside enrollment. Another challenge is supporting aging female clients as they navigate menopause-related changes, nutritional needs, and the importance of maintaining strength and overall health. At the same time, I see tremendous opportunities in the growing focus on longevity, bone health, and targeted strength training. More people are recognizing the importance of building strength at every stage of life, and I am passionate about helping women and young athletes develop the knowledge, confidence, and physical foundation needed to thrive.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that are most important to me in both my work and personal life are health, lifelong fitness, and leading by example. I believe that taking care of ourselves physically and mentally allows us to live more fulfilling lives and positively influence those around us. As a trainer, I am passionate about helping my clients build strength, confidence, and healthy habits that support long-term wellness. My goal is to inspire others to prioritize their health and empower them to live longer, stronger, and more active lives.
