Ruth Schrader-Grace
Ruth Schrader-Grace is a proponent of health and wellness. Over the past several years she has developed multiple skills and programs helping many to achieve their goals, including herself and believes in eating organic, natural foods, exercises 3-5 days a week, while maintaining a healthy balance between her professional and personal life. She has a degree in General Education with a focus in Psychology and Business, is a Level 3 Qualified TRX® Suspension & RIP Trainer, Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Holistic Life Coach, and continues to study and expand her knowledge in the fields of health and nutrition. She is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine, a graduate of the Leadership Success Academy and received recognition as Competent Communicator from Toastmasters International.
Ruth enjoys taking her clients outdoors to enjoy the fresh air, adding an extra quality to her clients training, although she equally enjoys the air conditioning provided by being indoors! Her predominant focus of fitness coaching is body-weight exercise as part of individualized and small group training. Workouts include the use of the TRX® Suspension & RIP Trainer along with a variety of other Functional Training modalities. Training focus is on strengthening, balance, flexibility and mobility, but also incorporates exercises for pre or post-rehabilitation, training for injury prevention, and other various functional training fitness programs. She creates personalized programs for her clients that focus on their specific needs. In group settings, modifications are easily set for each individual while maintaining an even flow for all.
Ruth says, “My motto is, If you’re not having fun, then you’re doing it wrong” She believes one of the most important aspects to staying fit and healthy is having fun. She says,”working out shouldn’t be a tiring or boring chore you have to do, but something fun that makes you smile and feel good about yourself”.
Being a member of the BPW has given her the chance to learn about other local women in business and is inspired by the comradery of all its members. She states, “there is always room to grow in life and to learn from others. The women in this local chapter have much to offer and is much like a sisterhood I’m proud to be a part of.”
