What makes you qualified as a senior fitness specialist in Highland Park?

I hold a Certified Senior Fitness Specialist (CSSF) certification along with CFT and SET credentials. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in balance training, fall prevention, post-rehab recovery, and arthritis-friendly exercise programs tailored for mature adults in Highland Park and lakeside North Shore communities.

Do you offer in-home personal training in Highland Park?

Yes! I provide convenient in-home personal training throughout Highland Park, Lake Forest, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Wilmette. I bring all necessary equipment to your home, so no gym membership is required. This allows for personalized attention in a comfortable, familiar environment.

How can senior fitness training help with fall prevention?

My evidence-based fall prevention programs focus on improving balance, stability, coordination, and leg strength. These targeted exercises help Highland Park seniors reduce fall risk, build confidence, and maintain independence. Regular balance training has been proven to significantly decrease fall incidents in older adults.

Can I work with you after surgery or injury?

Absolutely. I offer post-rehabilitation training for Highland Park residents recovering from surgery or injury. With physician clearance, I create safe, gradual programs to help you rebuild strength and safely return to daily activities. I coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure appropriate progression.

What areas of North Shore Illinois do you serve?

I serve the lakeside North Shore communities including Highland Park, Lake Forest, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Wilmette. These areas along Lake Michigan are my primary service locations for in-home and outdoor senior fitness training.

Is senior fitness training safe for people with arthritis?

Yes! I specialize in arthritis-friendly exercise programs designed to reduce joint pain and improve mobility. My low-impact, joint-protective workouts help Highland Park residents with arthritis stay active, manage pain through movement, and improve range of motion without exacerbating symptoms.

About Gina

I raised four children in Deerfield, Illinois — my greatest accomplishment and joy. As they grew older, I realized it was time to build a career for myself. With a lifelong passion for fitness, becoming a personal trainer felt like a natural next step.

But something was missing... until I shifted my focus to seniors (age 50+). That's when everything changed.

I found purpose, fulfillment, and a deep appreciation for the importance of keeping seniors mobile, active, and independent. My clients valued the work I did for them — and I felt honored to help improve their quality of life.
