Most of you know I booked my first trip to Europe and am currently in the spectacular country of Italy. My mother’s family is Italian and it has always been a dream of hers to go to the motherland:). My dad decided to pull the trigger and book the trip in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. I was invited …
We are creatures of habit and stepping out of the box is not easy. Confronting fears are definitely not easy. I have been confronting my fears by stepping out of my training comfort zone and training for American Ninja Warrior . This style of training is unlike anything I have ever done and I started it in my late 30’s. …
Let’s face it, eating clean can get very boring! It’s probably one of the biggest complaints I get from new clients. I have been eating clean since I began competing back in 2004 so I guess I have just gotten used to eating for fuel not for flavor. This is one flavorful recipe that I look forward to when I …
After speaking with clients and getting feedback, we decided to have a quarterly Happy Hour for the Mullarkey’s Misfits crew! I thought this was a great idea because it gives us all time to get together outside of the gym. Plus, it allows my One-on-One clients and In-Home clients to meet the Group Training clients. WOW!!!!

I just had the pleasure of celebrating my 41st Birthday this past Saturday and I would like to thank all of you for the birthday wishes. I am certainly very blessed to have so many family and friends who reached out to me privately and through social media. I am also very blessed to have my health and to …
I have numerous clients who come to me for training with a specific goal. They want to compete in a figure, physique or bikini competition, they want to lose weight, they want to run a marathon or triathlon, etc. I always think it is great that they have a specific goal or deadline, but not everyone does. For those that …
Time and time again in this industry I see folks diet down to competition weight, look and feel amazing and then right after the show begin packing on the pounds in order to “Gain Muscle”! I don’t know about you, but I enjoy being lean year round and prefer not to bulk up. I also know, after prepping for over …
Happy New Year Y’all!!!! Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s time to make that New Years resolution, which most of us will eventually put on the back burner as the year moves on. Let’s make a change in 2017 and FINALLY take charge of your fitness goals. Make your resolution, set a deadline and through hell or high …
