It's no surprise that Jaye's love of sports, fitness healthy living, and motivating others led her to a career as a professional Certified Fitness Trainer.

"I have one of the best jobs in the world. I am fortunate every day to have the opportunity to use my talents and passions to help others. Although I might inspire my clients, they are the real inspiration. When they thank me for helping them meet their goals, I remind them that they did all the work. They push on when I ask them to squeak out another rep. They don't give up when I ask them to put more intensity into a cardio session. They overcome their most challenging personal obstacles. I am merely a guide. They deserve all of the credit.

Personally I have a good reason to take my health seriously. Heart disease runs in my family. I have witnessed the effects of a poor lifestyle on the body. Four of my uncles and one grandfather died of heart disease. They did not take care of themselves . My mother and her mother died of aortic aneusrisms during the same year. My genetic inheritance means that I have to be extra diligent with my lifestyle. I was given one body. I believe it is my duty to do my very best to take care of it." says Jaye.

Jaye has been a fitness trainer since 1999, working with satisfied clients form all walks of life, ages 20-65. She has been a runner since age ten and played competitive sports through all her years of school. She began weight training twenty-one years ago while conditioning her body for combat readiness in the US Army. Today, Jaye's sports of choice are weight training, running, mountain biking, and snow boarding.

Jaye is certified by the International Sports Science Association (ISSA), one of the most reputable organizations in the nation to certify professional fitness trainers

Jaye is the owner of Fun Fitness, Inc. Fun Fitness is a philosophy which encourages clients to develop a positive attitude towards living a healthy lifestyle. Fun Fitness combines private instruction with the education, strategy and support you need to become empowered and achieve your personal health and fitness goals.

Jaye's biggest dream in the world came true on July 2,2004, when she gave birth to her daughter, Summer Michelle, weighing in at eight pounds and four ounces.

It seems like Summer takes after her mom already. "Summer is constantly moving. She doesn't like to be still much. She rolled over at two weeks and could stand supported at nine weeks. I joke that she had too much boot camp, as I taught class during my seventh and eighth month of pregnancy.

With the experience of pregnancy and motherhood, I have new respect for exercising moms everywhere. After years of developing strategies with my mom clients to find ways to fit exercise into busy lives , I am experiencing first hand just how difficult finding time for yourself can be. I've always said that it takes a good strategy, and it's true. After a few months of trial and error, I've finally found a schedule that seems to work for our family.

Let's face it. We live in a fast paced world, but it's important to take time out for yourself. Put work aside and rejuvenate! Fitness can be fun! Find activities that you enjoy, and get moving! I hope to be a good example to anyone facing today's challenges to live a healthy, fitness lifestyle, especially to moms everywhere," says Jaye
