Welcome to Sweat Check!

Hi there! Welcome to my personal fitness blog. I decided a blog was more user friendly and easier to use than my previous website for my business. I hope you enjoy reading about my current happenings as a trainer.
I am a passionate, dynamic teacher with 13 years of health and fitness experience who has been motivating people of all ages to achieve their fitness goals. While teaching elementary physical education full time I decided to expand my experience to personal training. I obtained my personal training certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in the summer of 2005, resigned from my teaching job in 06’ and have been working with clients ever since. Soon after receiving my certification I started my own business, “Sweat Check Personal Training” and could not imagine doing anything else. I started my business serving clients in their own homes, as an In-Home personal trainer. Shortly after I obtained some studio space in old town that I transformed into a fitness studio for small group training and now I work in my current location, still in old town, at Studio 373 Personal Training along with some other like minded fitness professionals. In 2012 I also received my fitness nutrition specialist certification so I can help clients through nutritional counseling as well as physical training. Currently I am teaching my Sweat Check Boot Camp class 3 mornings a week in old town Mukilteo. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time with my two beautiful children, Price, my 3 year old son and Parker, my one and a half year old daughter.

Where did the name Sweat Check with Reenie come from?

It came from my 6 years of teaching elementary P.E. Before leaving the gym and at the completion of class, all students were expected to pass the daily “Sweat Check” test. If you were sweating after P.E. that day, you were successful. Same philosophy goes for my clients today.

What is my favorite part about being a trainer?

Seeing the improvement that comes with hard work, dedication and consistency from my clients. I know when I’m done training someone they will have a more productive, high-energy day and that they feel strong and empowered. If the client is smiling or laughing during the workout at some point that is a nice added bonus as well!! 

What do I do to stay fit and healthy myself?

These past 3 years have definitely created some new challenges in my workout routine as a busy mom. After having my 2nd child I struggled to find a consistent routine in my workout program.  Now I have found my stride again and workout 5 mornings a week at 5am before my 6am class doing a combo of what I teach in my bootcamp class and running on alternating days. I love the combination of working out first thing in the morning, running and strength training. Running for me is a chance to escape from reality, let my mind clear and focus while getting the endorphins pumping through my body. Strength training gives me strength and power and challenges me like nothing else.

What are my personal health and fitness goal?

To be an inspiration to other active mom’s out there who are trying to get back to a healthy weight after having children. It takes patience, balance and hard work but slowly but surely every mom can achieve a healthy, fit body for themselves and their children.

Where is Sweat Check and what is it? 

Sweat Check Boot Camp is an hour long, non-stop, “make me sweat” total body workout! Using a variety of fitness equipment including stability balls, hand weights, resistance bands, medicine balls and jump ropes, boot camp will get you into shape! Through using the equipment and your own body weight, you’ll be building strength and endurance for all your major muscle groups. With an emphasis on correct form and posture, class will begin with a warm-up, then progressing through exercises that strengthen and tone the total body while always paying special attention to core/abdominal strength and balance. Along with resistance exercises, you’ll be working on your cardiovascular training that will ensure you passing the class’ #1 goal: “The Sweat Check”. With keeping the class total under 8 students, clients get the “Personal trainer” treatment while having the support and motivation from a small group, without the personal trainer cost. Reenie’s main philosophy of personal and group training is that all clients learn proper form and proper movement of all exercises to ensure their safety, decrease the risk of injury and obtain desired results quickly.
