After graduating from Ambassador University in Texas in 1995 Cheryl received a Physical Therapist Assistant degree from Kilgore College in 1998. As a licensed P.T.A., she gained 6 years of neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitative experience assisting patients in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, inpatient rehabilitation, and the hospital. In 2001, she combined her skills in physiotherapy with a personal training certification and began working in the fitness industry.

Upon moving to Canada in 2002 with her husband Matt, Cheryl was able to transition from a full time career in physiotherapy to full time as a certified trainer. Cheryl applies her physiotherapy background and knowledge of rehabilitation and body mechanics to help those clients who are injured. Also, as a former intercollegiate basketball player, Cheryl loves to incorporate her first hand experience in sport-specific training for those clients looking to improve their athletic skills. Her great sense of humour and caring nature enable her clients to feel comfortable and confident in her presence.

Since joining the Personal Edge team in May of 2002, Cheryl has enjoyed using her experience to provide safe and effective exercise programming to help clients of all fitness levels and ages reach their health and fitness goals, whether those needs be rehabilitation, improved athletic performance, or simply, living a healthier lifestyle. Personally, Cheryl still enjoys playing in a women’s basketball league, running and strength training.
