Personal Fitness Training

The NutriFit Team

Our personal trainers are professional, experienced and nationally certified. They participate in on-going education to stay current in the fitness industry and to help them develop safe, effective programs. They love what they do and are committed to your success!

Sharon Poppleton

Sharon has perfected the art of keeping fit for life. She learned long ago that the best way to stay healthy and energized through a long, challenging day is to follow a consistent exercise program. During her years as a business teacher at Glenbard West high school, Sharon diligently fit her workouts in BEFORE heading to work. After leaving academia behind, Sharon earned her personal training certification and turned her love of exercise into a “next-phase” career; bonus - she doesn’t have to work out before sunrise.

Why BLUE is my favorite color: Depending on the shade, it can be calming or exciting.
Why RASPBERRIES are my favorite food: They’re juicy, sweet and always just right.
Favorite iPod music flavor? Oldies.
In my spare time I like to: HIKE, SEW, ENJOY FAMILY
My favorite travel destination: The MOUNTAINS
Training specialty? Clients who are “New to Fitness Training” (NTFT’s).

Kelly Rojas

Kelly is no newbie to the fitness world. Following her very first fitness job as an aerobic instructor (remember when they were called that?) more than 15 years ago, Kelly moved on to manage health clubs and earn additional instructor certifications in spin, kickboxing, step and Tai Chi. As a personal trainer she gets to do more hands-on work with her clients, drawing from all those years of unparalleled experience. Kelly is a veteran marathoner; she’s done five (so far). That’s five more than any of the rest of us.

Why GREEN is my favorite color: It’s cool, refreshing, soothing and reminds me of spring and the new beginnings that season brings.
Why PEANUT BUTTER is my favorite food: It’s a good source of protein and it just tastes great!
Favorite iPod music flavor? I love all types of music from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Coldplay to Koko Taylor to Bob Marley.
In my spare time I like to: SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY, RUN, READ, CYCLE.
My favorite travel destination: ANYWHERE OUTDOORS
Training specialty? All! From beginners to athletes.

Paige Waehner

A native of Nashville, TN, Paige is still adjusting to Glen Ellyn winters. It’s a good thing fitness is her career of choice; year ‘round she gets to warm up at least once each day (an especially good thing in January). When she’s not expertly training NutriFit clients, Paige expertly guides readers at About.com where she has served for the last 10 years as the Exercise Guide. Her husband’s job has taken them from Omaha to California, and Paige has trained clients in each locale; weather notwithstanding, we are grateful she’s landed here.

Why RED is my favorite color: It’s eye-catching, energetic and makes me feel like I can conquer the world.
Why SUSHI is my favorite food: It’s fresh, vibrant and flavorful – the perfect summertime fare when you want something light.
Favorite iPod music flavor? I love everything from Lenny Kravitz and Melissa Etheridge to the Foo Fighters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In my spare time I love to: READ and I often engage in COMPLICATED HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS that never go as planned.
My favorite travel destination: The BEACH
Training specialty? I don’t have a specialty. I love to do it all!
