Whitney was an active child. Her parents insisted on sports to build drive and character, as well as to preserve their own sanity. When time commitments of soccer, track and softball increased, she elected to focus entirely on swimming year-round and since age 15 has coached swimmers competing in the summer leagues ages 4-65. At the University of Virginia, Whitney took a much deserved competitive break from the chlorine, but fearing the “freshman fifteen,” she took fitness into her own hands for the first time. Concocting workouts strategic to her body type and goals and developing a diet to fuel those workouts, she became more lean and defined than she had been under the wing of coaches, and finally, proud of her body. Others took notice and she began helping friends with their goals. After UVA, Whitney moved to Washington, DC where she earned an MBA and health and fitness certifications. She taught various group exercise classes and built a private training, Pilates and nutrition clientele around her 9-5 advertising career. Eventually finding it more gratifying to help clients achieve personal health and fitness goals than company sales quotas, she left the corporate world to pursue fitness and health full-time. Despite a rapidly growing business and a reputation as “DC’s Trainer to the Stars,” Whitney sought the warmth and energy of Los Angeles in early 2009. Whitney successfully harvested clientele independently until fusing business with the love of her life Byron Paidoussi.
