Training Philosophy:

I have been an athlete since I was 5 years old and I had the opportunity to play basketball on a collegiate level. After college, I found it hard to get on a
workout routine. Because I needed something to get me motivated, I decided to try to run half-marathon. I knew I could just run, but I wanted to make sure I
was training the right way. For that reason, I got a personal trainer to help me prepare the best way. I loved the way the training was helping my performance and really saw how having a personal trainer could help somebody reach their goals. I fell in love with the idea of being able to help people feel better about themselves. So, I decided to get certified. I plan on continuing my education so I always make my workouts fun, exciting and effective!

What Her Client's Say...

“Six months ago, I decided my body was overweight and flabby. I turned 39 and begged my husband for a trainer for my birthday. I received that present of a trainer. I wanted a trainer who would motivate me in a kind, but firm way and someone I could connect with..
Kerry is all of those things and more. Kerry is such a motivating person. I am amazed at the things she has gotten me to do in the gym. At times, I look at her and say, “I can’t do that.” Kerry responds with a smile and says, “Oh yes, you can.” Since I started with Kerry, I have moved down two dress sizes and lost 15lbs. It may not seem like a great number, but I keep losing inches in key places and gaining muscle. I feel great! If you are looking for a trainer who is kind, strong, knowledgeable and motivating, Kerry is that trainer. I have never felt better, Kerry has been a lifesaver!” -Brittney King

“Gaining weight during the years after marriage and having kids, I had started and stopped many diets only to be left more discouraged. I had started on a diet program again in the beginning of 2010 and was losing weight, but was not confident enough
to start exercing. Finally in May 2010, I received a phone call that would change my life - for good this time. A personal trainer named Kerry Higgs called to offer me a free ½ hour session since it was my birthday. I would have normally said, “No thanks,” but the word “yes” popped out of my mouth. I immediately felt comfortable with Kerry concerning my weight and lack of exercise issues. I promptly signed up for training sessions that have not only changed my physical appearance, but my mental health also. I am continually challenged by Kerry’s workouts. She has taught me how to transform my body through weight lifting and core exercises in addition to increasing my cardio work. Her motivation, guidance, and support to help me achieve my goals have been invaluable. My husband was so inspired by the “new, fit” me and with Kerry, that he is now being trained by her also” -Claudia Daniel

In December of 2010, I was presented with an exciting opportunity for a winter trip of a lifetime- “winter wonderland” in Yellowstone National Park. This stunning look at nature incorporated cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and the trip itinerary read “a six-month physical training period is recommended for moderately difficult activity in higher elevation.” Taking the training recommendation seriously, I engaged in six-months of training with an outstanding personal trainer, Kerry Higgs. From our initial conversation and
throughout our training sessions, Kerry listened carefully to my individual fitness needs, established trust and rapport, consistently exhibited thoughtful preparation, a personalized approach, problem solving, patience, and much professionalism. After six months, I actually surprised myself by actively participating in all trip activities with much success- thanks in large part to my work with Kerry. After such a successful experience, Kerry and I have revised our program and I am motivated to meet new fitness goals through the encouragement of an “expert” trainer and such valuable personal training experiences.”
