Deborah Burkhart, who has recently relocated to the area from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a clinical nutritionist and master herbalist. She brings with her a small consulting business, FitnessGourmet, which focuses on one-on-one nutritional consulting and cooking classes geared to fitness enthusiasts and those simply interested in taking charge of their health.

Deborah recently trained with Baron Baptiste (Journey into Power) and teaches his method of power yoga. Having a strong background in the weight room, she also teaches cardio/sculpt,and frequently incorporates the resist-a-ball in her classes. Her love of this industry stems from the thrill of helping people motivate to obtain their personal 'edge'. She believes that anyone can transform themselves, no matter what their starting point, so long as they possess the desire, patience and determination. And her motto?

"If not today, then when?"

Deborah resides in a cabin overlooking Hinckley Lake, on a small mountain or large hill, depending on how you look at it. She loves being back in the area, and feels blessed to be allowed to enjoy the Adirondack's beauty on a daily basis.
