Meet Anna

Welcome to Wellness By Anna Blog/Newsletter

I am a personal trainer and yoga instructor with 20 years of experience. My strength training program focuses on empowering women to get stronger. Being stronger spills over to all aspects of life, from activities like walking, pickleball, golf, basketball, to simply feeling better overall. We tackle common issues like back and knee pain, boost energy levels, reduce high blood pressure, menopausal symptoms and combat belly fat. This adds up to helping you live a healthier, more functional life for the long run.

Happy June

Welcome to Wellness By Anna's new monthly newsletter! I'm thrilled to launch this initiative and share more personal insights with all of you. It's been a dream of mine to create a space where we can connect on a deeper level and inspire each other to live healthier, more active lives. Each month, I'll be sharing a mix of fun and purposeful content aimed at making wellness feel like second nature. From workout tips that will make you want to get up and do those squats to the "why" behind your everyday workouts, I'm here to make healthy living enjoyable and inspiring. Expect to find links I love, seasonal recipe inspiration, and nutrition tips to help you on your wellness journey. Together, let's make this season filled with movement, joy, and vitality!

Warm regards,

Anna
