She lost over 40 pounds several years ago and founded her own coaching company, Beyond Expectations Coaching. Her goal is to provide scientifically based information to her clients to help them improve their health and happiness. “I feel education is vitally important because our clients place their health in our hands. I also believe in having fun while we train which is less intimidating for people wanting to make a change” Pat’s areas of continuing education are:

• Training Special Populations

• Clinical Exercise Specialist

• Science and Practice of Strength Training, Power Eating, Facilitated Stretching, Overweight Clients, and Overcoming Self-defeating Behaviors.

She has been featured in several local newspapers and business journals and teaches for CVU’s adult ACCESS program. Currently she also runs a Women’s Boot Camp class at Shelburne Health & Fitness. “Boot Camp is projected to be the #1 fitness trend for 2009. This class is so popular because it’s like one-stop-shopping. It addresses cardio-respiratory fitness, strength, endurance, core and power through a variety of one minute exercises. These women really push themselves! Everyone can do this class because they start at their present fitness level and progress from there. Commonly women see big improvements in body fat loss and overall self esteem.”

Pat lives in Hinesburg with her husband, Mike and their Pug, Shou Yi. She enjoys hiking, horseback riding, traveling, and new experiences.
