What started in high school with a great strength coach, quickly morphed into a passion of mine. Through college soccer, many life ups and downs, strength training has always been something I leaned into. Most recently, in 2022 after many life stressors and working with a functional medicine practitioner, my mindset about what fitness needed to look like changed.

All of the noise in the fitness industry fell away when I learned that getting and staying fit really isn’t that complicated. The hours of cardio each week, HIIT workouts, and under-eating was not the answer to getting to where I wanted to be physically. Changing what I thought I knew about the ways to reach goals has transformed not only my body but my mindset as well. After 4 years of focusing on myself, I wanted to start helping others. Most personal training certifications didn’t feel like the best training program for what I wanted to achieve with my clients. Textbook learning and an online exam, it all felt too impersonal for the level of personal trainer I aspired to be. 

In came ShowUp Fitness, a personal training certification program that is more than just a certification. The SUF-Certified Personal Trainer graduates are proficient in crafting tailored workout programs, having a deep understanding of anatomy and exercise variations. Passing my SUF-CPT exam in February 2026, I felt the confidence to create The McHenry Method. 

Utilizing what I’ve learned and executed from my personal health journey and the in-depth knowledge from my SUF-CPT, I am confident in my ability to help clients reach their goals. Our mission is to cut through the noise of the fitness industry by making training simple and approachable. My goal is to provide clear, effective workouts that build confidence, support steady progress, and create supportive trainer-client relationships.
