The many hats we wear and the ones we can never truly take off. At the age of 11 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. My world as I knew it and my interactions with food became a mathematical equation. In retrospect I would say this is when I began my "studies" in the health and fitness world. I navigated through my teenage years as a three sport athlete WITH type 1 diabetes. I attained my Bachelors degree in Psychology and Masters in Social Work with a focus on Eating Disorders and Body Image Disturbances while being highly involved in Student Leadership life and as President of a Dance Company WITH Type 1 Diabetes. It was at this point in my life that I recognized the importance of Physical Fitness on one's Mental Wellbeing and vice versa. It was during this time that I also, moved from NY to Vermont, got married and began competing in the OCB and NPC Bikini divisions. I competed for roughly 6 years on and off, accomplished my IFPA Pro Bikini Card in 2013 and won the Title of 2014 IFPA Pro Bikini World Champion, I was able to step on the Arnold Classic stage and later again on another World Championship Stage placing within the top 5- WITH Type 1 Diabetes. On November 24, 2016 my husband and I were blessed with the arrival of our healthy and beautiful daughter Ravenna- another pivotal, life changing moment, and another hat to join WITH Type 1 Diabetes, tightly fitted and glued to my head. Over the past 2 years my husband and I have made many transitions in our lives, wearing different hats, putting some aside and trying new one ons. We recently made a Big Move to Alabama for work opportunities. So who am I? I am a proud wife, a blessed mommy, a supportive coach and personal trainer, an entrepreneur, a social worker, a type 1 diabetic and a woman who in all her complexities and imperfections has found peace in the tight fitted hats I GET to wear.

Royce L. Claflin, owner of Phoenix Fitness in Dover, NH and creator of Barbell Athlete Ranking system (B.A.R.S.) was formally educated in business management. His obsession with strength training lead him to educate himself immensely in health and exercise. Furthering his education through numerous certifications and seminars and keeping up on the latest research and trends is vital to Royce and his coaching. He has a very particular set of skills you will not find anywhere else; Royce has experienced the worst cases injuries (ironically, outside of the weight room); these injuries include a spinal fusion, hip surgery and shoulder reconstruction. This experience has provided invaluable skills for developing his athletes and their education. Having extensive experience in different styles of strength training, from Bodybuilding, to standard linear progression, to the cube method, to Shieko, to Conjugate he has the ability to take clients from a novice lifter to a competitive athlete to a professional. What makes his story interesting, is how far He has came in his journey. His odds of being a competitive power lifter were certainly against him, graduating from from High School at 120lbs, 5’8”, 6’3” wingspan with a 80lb max bench press, pretty much drove him to exceed expectations and persevere through shortfalls and struggles . His lifting partners were piling chains and bands on the bars a long time ago before it was popular, and most of the time it was because of Royce’s crazy ideas leading the workouts. Royce built his bench press up to 365 lbs in 10 years, and again a second time after having both shoulders repaired. He deadlifted triple bodyweight with a dislocated spine, and squatted 4x/week under the same condition.
