July 2011 Trainer of the Month

July 1, 2011

Congratulations to Janet Nardo, RWJ Hamilton Center for Health & Wellness's Trainer of the Month for July 2011!

Specialty: Corrective exercise

Bio: Janet earned her Bachelor of Science degree in health and physical education from Seton Hall University; and her Master of Science degree in human movement, with a minor in geriatric exercise, from A.T. Still University. She is a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist with certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Janet accomplished over 25 years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, most of which was successfully spent in Johnson & Johnson's wellness program. She has also worked at The College of New Jersey as an adjunct professor in the Health Education department.

Always with a smile, she loves to motivate others to reach fitness goals. Janet especially enjoys working with older adults. She specializes in helping them overcome typical age-related challenges, such as muscle imbalances, so they may continue to live independently. She welcomes newbies to the Exercise Floor, ready to help them embark on their new fitness journey.

In her free time, Janet enjoys running, kickboxing, skiing, traveling, and visiting the beach. She loves spending time with her husband, son, and two dogs.

She is excited to guide members as they reach and surpass fitness goals.
