Now or Never

At 45, Gen has made fitness and over-all wellness a high priority in life. She is the mother of a very active 5 year old daughter, Annie, and the necessity to stay fit and healthy is a commitment that benefits them both. Growing up in Honolulu, she loves nothing more than the sand and sunshine. Now living in Sacramento, California where the climate isn't always as mild, she fills her fitness schedule with a variety of activities. Spinning, strength training, running, and her true love, yoga. Life's challenges have led her to believe that there's nothing she can't do. Strong body, strong mind.
