Donna Mintz, C.P.T, has always had a pulse on the fitness industry as well as a love of cooking. As a result, she became a Certified Personal Trainer, adding additional certifications as a group fitness and kickboxing instructor. She also threw certified fitness nutritionist into the mix. Donna's path is an interesting one. She started her career training clients in their homes, using resistance tubing, medicine balls and free weights. While many of her clients started to show progress meeting their health and fitness goals, a few would plateau, lose interest and stop exercising. Frustrated by this, she began a little investigating. Her discovery was interesting: she found that what many of her clients were eating, combined with the WAY they were cooking,presented a problem. They were not getting the nutrients to sustain their energy. This was the catalyst that set her in a different direction. Donna went back to school and studied , becoming a certified sports nutritionist. Along the way, she decided to go to culinary school to learn more about cooking. Her interest narrowed further. Donna chose to specialize in healthy cooking classes and studied at The New School and The Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health. With her new found knowledge of cooking and preparation techniques, she experimented with different recipes and used her family and friends as guinea pigs…fortunately for her, she was met with rave reviews! Donna once again brought this information to her clients…and began to see progress. And the idea of healthy eating coupled with the right exercise was born. When Donna discovered a new career called "Personal Chef", she realized the timing was right to combine her two passions, fitness and cooking. She could effectively teach people in a short amount of time what took years for her to study, experiment and learn. 888-205-1933 or |
