Christina Todd, Personal Trainer, Owner of The Roving Gym

Learning has always been one of my greatest passions and I am constantly striving to increase my fitness and nutritional knowledge. When I chose to become a personal trainer I knew I wanted to obtain certifications from the top organizations in the industry. I have two personal trainer certifications, one from the American College of Sports Medicine and one from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I have been married to my best friend, John, since 1992. We have 2 dogs, a cat, and a horse. In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, running, biking, weight training, and hiking
