Ann Bizzarro, Ph.D., has twenty-two years experience working in the corporate world.  She has held many different positions both as an individual contributor and as a manager in the application software industry. She has an undergraduate and graduate degree in management and Doctorate in health and well-being.  Ann is a certified Personal Trainer, Senior Fitness Training Specialist, Silver Sneakers® Exercise Instructor, Tai Chi Easy™ Facilitator, Certified Life Coach, and Certified Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Coach.

Through her studies and life experiences, Ann has discovered that we have to take an active role to maintain our health and fitness well into our golden years.  All too often people ignore the signs that their health and fitness are deteriorating and then one day they are overweight, out of shape, or worse have chronic health problems.    

To help reduce the risk of you losing your independence and quality of life, Ann has developed the Firm Grip on Living program which addresses healthy eating, physical activity, and permanent lifestyle modification.
