Barb has 38 years of professional experience doing
what she loves- motivating people and helping them achieve their goals. Prior
to opening Trillium, Barb spent 12 years based in Saratoga Springs as the
Corporate Wellness director at Quad Graphics, Inc. In that role, she operated 8
national fitness facilities. Programs included ergonomics, injury prevention,
return to work, fitness testing and evaluation and overall health and wellness
assessment. Additionally, Barb has been involved in competitive athletics her
whole life, playing high school and college basketball and volleyball and
coaching both at the Division III level. Both her coaching and playing
experience give her a unique understanding of what it takes to be successful in
sports. She took that experience and applied it to a love for endurance
athletics. Barb was a competitive triathlete for over eight years, competing in
half (70.3) Ironmans and sprint triathlons, where she placed first in her age
group numerous times.
Life experience has enabled Barb to bring a wealth of
information to the community. During Covid-19 in 2020, the business was forced
to close for seven months. Barb spent every day in the facility on zoom calls
with professionals across the country to navigate through an unprecedented
time. Barb never lost hope to bring Trillium through the pandemic and offer the
best programs to her constituents. Covid taught us how important our health is
to combat diseases. Barb continuously spends time researching the most
innovative tools in the industry. She wants people to participate in
life, not sit on the sidelines. Barb works hard to bring many programs to those
that want to reach their health goals.
