“I believe you have to have an inner drive or motivation to want to be physically fit so you can commit to a program and stay with it.”

Debbie Addison, Personal Trainer

Debbie grew up in Norfolk enjoying many sports activities including tennis, swimming, triathlons and surfing. She has her Masters degree in Athletic Training and 16 years experience in physical therapy clinical work.

Debbie is a certified and licensed Athletic Trainer, a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and a Youth Fitness Specialist Level One.

Debbie has been working for 4 1/2 years in personal training with Wareing's gym and almost 2 years at the Fit Company in Norfolk's West Ghent. She worked at Norfolk Academy as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach as well as at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club as a personal trainer.
