Hi. My name is Leslie and I am originally from Hallsville, Texas. I grew up involved in sports. I started gymnastics at the early age of 4, which lead to cheerleading for most of my school years. In high school, I ran the 3200 m and the 1600 m and achieved East Texas Elite status.  This lead to some regional success in the area of track and field.  It is still an honor to say that I held the record time in the 3200 m for 25 years and still hold 3rd place in the 1600 m.

Once I had my diploma in hand, I left my small town and I moved to College Station to study Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology at Texas A&M University.  After graduation, I started my career as a personal trainer at The Houstonian Hotel, Club, and Spa in Houston, Texas.

I was 22 when I started training at the Houstonian and have loved every minute of my 16-year career. I was originally hired to design programs as well as personal train.  My passion quickly flourished for working with groups to affect more lives each day.  I developed programs for running, MS-150 training, snow ski training, and co-developed a boot camp-style program called Winter Sports Camp. In 2002, I co-developed a fitness, weight management, and lifestyle modification program called Revolution Shape Up (RSU) and co-authored the original book.  The class started with 6 people and eventually grew up to a maximum of 120 people and five classes.  In 2006, I was featured on Channel 2's Great Day Houston as a trainer and fitness expert for their version of The Biggest Loser for 8 weeks.

In addition to training the RSU classes, I run the fitness administrative part of the program which includes billing, sales, marketing, and staff management. I have consulted in designing home and business gyms, as well as designing programs for children for a local business.  

I love working directly with people and want to cater to each individual as much as possible. Even in a group setting, I strive to make the experience as individualized as possible.  

After my first child was born, I gave up my personal clients and continued with RSU.  Being involved with the administrative side of the program allowed me to work from home 2 days a week and never miss a moment of my now 2 children's lives.  But I must admit, I miss training.  A round trip into Houston can take up to 2 hours and 2 hours is a lot in a busy, working mom's life.

I am now thinking outside the box.  Torn between how I can still see clients and stay out of traffic prompted me to think of how I can train people over the internet or through Facetime.  This is the perfect solution for time flexibility for all.  Plus, I can stay connected to my clientele, including those that no longer live in Houston. My goal is always to help my clients reach their goals and implement a permanent lifestyle modification.  I want to teach you how to be healthy and become the best version of you for the rest of your life.
