Train with Jane: Personal Trainer

I am an ACE and AEA certified Personal Trainer and certified PN Nutrition Coach, Sleep Coach and Health Coach. Welcome! You don’t need more information. Period.

I am a Total Transformation coach who helps you become the whole person you want to be. You are already drowning in the information you have. You need to implement what you already know, and you need help figuring out where to start and how to do this. You need better questions. You need someone to hold up a mirror. You need someone to celebrate (and point out) your successes. You need a coach AND

a mentor. You need someone to do for you what you are busy doing for others. (Kids, employees, co-workers... the list goes on!)

You come to me for clarity. For transformation. For change that sticks. I help busy women become the kind of person they actually want to be — sharp, self-aware, and grounded in the real messy business of living life to the fullest.. I offer the kind of coaching that gets you thinking differently. When you work with me, you will feel physically and mentally strong, capable of taking on any challenge without worrying that your energy level or body weight will get in the way of your goals. I provide on-line training for busy women who need to build health & fitness into their life, without it taking over. This is a daily, comprehensive program designed to take the guess work out of your health & fitness journey, offering accountability and guiding you to a state of complete wellness

We will consider the multi-dimensional thriving of you as a whole person in your whole life. Not just body fat percentage and blood work, but also factors like how you think, feel, live, connect to others and how you connect to yourself. Included in my programs are strength workouts, conditioning workouts, mobility workouts and guided rest & recovery days. There are daily accountability nutrition check-ins. Every calendar day will be right at your finger tips for easy access anywhere, any time. I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer for 20 years, a certified master TRX trainer, a Precision Nutrition certified coach, an AEA certified teacher and Masters Swim Coach, and a PN Certified Sleep Coach. I am a former professional athlete, who has been a coach and mentor for most of my life. As a seasoned professional, I know what works and what doesn't work enabling me to guide you through the quagmire of (mis)information out there and coaching you with science based knowledge and experience. Weight training and good nutrition are for everyone. Strength, power, and mobility. Proper engine fueling. Joyful daily movement. Physical confidence. These are some of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. They’ll help you live longer and better, feel and perform optimally, and as a bonus, help you walk tall and look fabulous well into old age.

What is your WHY?

There are as many reasons to be fit and healthy as there are people.
To look better? Sure.
To feel better? Absolutely.

But here's the question I think matters more:
What do you want to be able to DO?
I don't train just so I can perform well in the gym, I train so I can say YES to life.

Can I climb 400 steps at 7,000 feet to the top of Moro Rock with my daughter and still have enough breath left to enjoy the view? ✅
Can I kayak in Iceland? ✅
Can I hike up to the Passerelle de Mazamet—a suspension bridge hanging 70 meters over a gorge—and then actually have the nerve to walk across the damn thing? 😂✅
We've done that one both ways, by the way: the short route is only 670 meters...at an average 19% grade. 😳✅
Can I paraglide off the cliffs in La Jolla? ✅

And apparently, the question I needed to add in 2026:
Can I hike Mont Ventoux carrying TWO GALLONS OF WATER and a chair while sheep are being herded all around me...and then, if I accidentally "free-fall" down a goat path, am I strong and resilient enough to bounce back and keep going? 😂✅
(That's a long story!)😂😂😂

Because here's the thing:
Being fit doesn't mean every adventure goes perfectly.
Sometimes you misjudge the trail.🙋‍♀️
Sometimes the mountain wins a round.
Sometimes you're hauling two gallons of water over a mountain while surrounded by sheep and you begin to question some of your life choices. 😂
Sometimes you end up looking at something and thinking, "Well, this seemed like a much better idea before I started."

That's part of the story.

Strength, endurance, balance and mobility aren't just things we work on for the gym.

They're what allow us to travel.
To explore.
To climb the stairs.
To take the harder trail.
To try the ridiculous thing.
To carry the water.
To dodge the sheep.
And to get back up when the ridiculous thing doesn't go exactly according to plan. 😂

I don't work out because I want my life to revolve around fitness.
I work out because I want my fitness to make my life bigger.

My WHY?

Live a Great Story.

What's yours?

Hi. Coach Zuli here. 🐾

Apparently Mom thinks she takes me for walks.
That’s adorable. 😅

As you can see from my handy guide, walking a human requires patience, persistence and frequent sniffing breaks.
But I do it because my human needs exercise. 😂

Walking is actually one of the best forms of exercise you can do. It’s good for your heart, helps lower blood pressure, burns calories, and it can even help lower that blood sugar spike after you eat.

Mom says I also have to tell you that walking can be exercise AND recovery.
I don't really know what recovery means. I assume it means stopping to sniff the same bush for 4½ minutes.
Mom listens to audiobooks while we walk.
I sniff things.
We both have hobbies.

And your walk doesn't have to be long to count! Ten minutes counts. A little walk after a meal counts. Another little walk later counts.
Apparently humans have this weird habit of thinking that if they can't do a BIG workout, they might as well do nothing.
Dogs do not have this problem.
We see an opportunity for a walk, WE WALK.

So put on your shoes, tether yourself securely to a responsible dog, and get outside.
No dog?
That's okay. You may walk unsupervised.
Just say hi to the dogs you meet along the way. (Ask their humans first!)
Or volunteer to walk a dog at your local shelter. You get exercise, the dog gets a walk, and everyone gets to sniff things.

Well, maybe not everyone. 😂
Love,
Zuli 🐾

It’s zucchini season, people. Take advantage. 🥒

Zucchini is one of those foods that gives you a whole lot of nutritional bang for very few calories. It’s mostly water, so it contributes to hydration, but you’re also getting fiber, potassium, vitamin C and other micronutrients. And because it adds a lot of volume to a meal, it can help make a plate feel substantial without adding a ton of calories.

You may have seen some of the recent chatter about zucchini and metabolism. I’d take the dramatic headlines with a grain of salt. No, zucchini is not going to magically “boost” your metabolism. But foods like zucchini absolutely fit into the bigger picture of metabolic health: more plants, more fiber, good hydration, and plenty of food volume while leaving room in your calorie budget for the things that matter most—including enough protein.

And perhaps zucchini’s greatest nutritional benefit this time of year:
It is ridiculously cheap.
Or, if you have a gardening neighbor who made the classic rookie mistake of planting six zucchini plants, it is free. 🙋‍♀️😂

Especially in hot weather, hydration doesn’t have to come only from what you drink. You can eat some of your hydration, too! Watermelon and cucumber are both more than 90% water, and tomatoes aren’t far behind. They also naturally provide electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, along with plenty of other nutrients.
So this watermelon gazpacho gives you fluids plus some of the minerals involved in fluid balance—all in a cold, ridiculously refreshing bowl. It doesn’t replace water (or an electrolyte drink when you’ve been sweating buckets), but hydration is about your whole diet, not just how many water bottles you emptied today.
And on a hot summer day, I’m perfectly happy to eat some of mine with a spoon. 🍉🥒🍅💦

Time to forget those mayo-madness potato salads and try this bright and fresh recipe that keeps me invited to potlucks year after year. (Did you think it was my sparkling personality?!?) 😂

Because I made it up, there are no exact measurements. I started making it and then wrote down what I thought I did. Welcome to my world but it works! 🤷🏻‍♀️

𝗔 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻 𝗔 𝗛𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀

Everyone wants the result.
Lose body fat.
Get stronger.
Feel confident.
Stop dieting.
Build healthy habits.

The problem?
Most people focus on the goal and completely skip the process.

After coaching for decades, I've learned that lasting success doesn't come from motivation, willpower, or setting a really exciting goal.
It comes from building skills.

Here's what that looks like:
𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 ➡️ 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 ➡️ 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀
For example:
Goal:
Eat healthier consistently.
Skill:
Better hunger and appetite awareness.
Practice:
✔ Eat slowly
✔ Stop when satisfied, not stuffed
Those tiny daily actions eventually become skills.
Those skills eventually become habits.
Those habits eventually create the results people are chasing.
The people who succeed aren't usually the ones who make the biggest changes.
They're the ones who practice the right things long enough for them to stick.

That's why my most successful coaching program isn't a 30-day challenge.
It's not a 6-week shred.
It's not a quick fix.
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

A full year of coaching designed to help you build the skills, habits, and confidence that create lasting change.
Because when you learn the skills, you keep them.
And when you keep the skills, you keep the results.

Do you ever see great recipes but lament the fact that some of it just doesn't fit with your nutrition goals?
This is a very common problem, keeping many people from trying great new recipes!
I saw this recipe and decided to share it, as is, with the changes I would make.
Sometimes just minor adjustments are needed.

True story: I do not like watermelon.
I buy it for my dog, Zuli to give as hydrating treats in hot weather. (So basically I usually think of it as dog food?)😂😂😂

But, when it is fancied up into a great salad.... yes please!
I think it is the lime juice that really hits the right spot so don't skimp!

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗜 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲... 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹?!?

"I don't do ANYTHING."
As a coach, I hear that a lot.
And when life is already packed, even the standard recommendation of 30 minutes of exercise can feel overwhelming.
Because let's be honest...
"Just 30 minutes" often turns into an hour when you factor in driving, changing clothes, and cleaning up afterward.

So instead of chasing the "ideal" amount of exercise, I often do something different:
➡️ 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹.
Most people aren't starting from zero. Unless you're in bed all day, you're already moving.
So the real question becomes:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲?
A 10-minute walk?
A few stretches before getting out of bed?
A short workout three times a week?
Then I ask:
"On a scale of 0 to 10, how confident are you that you'll actually do it?"
If the answer isn't a 9 or 10...
We shrink the goal again.
Maybe it's 15 minutes.
Maybe it's 10.
Maybe it's one walk this week.
Sometimes the goal gets so small that it feels ridiculous.
Good.
Because if you can do it consistently for two weeks, you've built something far more valuable than motivation:
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
And confidence is what allows us to build bigger habits later.
After coaching hundreds of people, I've seen this over and over again.
The people who succeed aren't always the ones who start the hardest.
They're the ones who start small enough to keep going.
Shrinking the goal isn't lowering the bar.
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘁.
