Debra Norberg has truly changed my life!
I've been an active runner, swimmer and cyclist my whole life but in my 70's, recurring lower back pain started holding me back. While physical therapy helped temporarily, working with Debra gave me long-term results.
She has targeted the root of the problem by building up my core, hips, and back together. Debra makes every session fun and unique with varied workouts using bands, weights and Bosu balls, always emphasizing great form and thorough stretching.
She is able to reach each muscle in my body during every session and somehow makes it fun too.
The results? My lower back no longer aches, and I have my full mobility and strength back. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable or encouraging trainer! She is a master!

Every session is designed to build functional power for real life—so you can easily reach, bend, balance, get off the floor, lift heavy objects, open tight jars, and move through your day with vibrant energy. Beyond daily ease, these targeted workouts build core strength, improve balance, maintain bone density, and relieve tight muscles.
My approach is backed by a Master’s degree in Health Education and Wellness, specialized certifications in personal training and corrective exercise, and extensive experience leading group fitness. I bring a deep understanding of exercise science, wellness, and human movement directly to your customized sessions, creating safe, purposeful programs built for longevity.
