Hello there!  Welcome to marathons + matcha.  I’ve wanted to start a blog to share what I’m about, living a healthy life to the fullest.

My name is Hallie + I'm a thirty-something living in Philadelphia with my fiancé, Eric + Shih Tzu, Bogey.   I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Mad Dogg Certified Spinning Instructor, RRCA Certified Running Coach, + Precision Nutrition Pn1 Level 1 Nutrition Coach.

When I’m not training clients, you can find me shopping, cooking, or watching Bravo, I’m a huge fan of the Vanderpump Rules. When I ran the LA Marathon in 2019, I had to go to all of LVP’s restaurants!

I've been living in Philly for over 13 years but grew up in South Jersey, where my love for running started in high school.  I joined the cross country team my freshman year then later joined the track team, where I found the 400m + 800m. My running came back in full force upon the passing of my father in 2010 + I haven't turned back.  I knew I was missing something for the longest time but couldn't quite put my finger on it.  I was in a new relationship + the passing of my father put things in perspective + I knew I needed a change.  So I signed up for a 5k in NYC in 2012 + the rest is history...

Since then I've completed over 30 races including 3 marathons, 10 half marathons, 9 ten miler runs (Broad Street Run), 2 15k’s, + 6 10k’s.  I took this passion for running + made it my career by becoming a certified spinning instructor in 2017 then later a personal trainer. I want to share my personal experiences as well as tips + tricks that I’ve learned by working with clients one-on-one.

I hope you enjoy being a part of this community.  I’ll be discussing all things that I love from fitness to training for my first marathon to nutrition + everything in between. Feel free to reach out about any content you want to see or if any questions or comments.  I really want to get to know my community + help in any way I can.

See you at the finish line,

Hallie :)
