Heather Thorne entered the professional fitness industry in 2000 after spending most of her life being overweight. While pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts at Orange Coast College, she found herself at her highest weight ever. Heather describes having an "Ah-ha" moment and decided she wanted to do something about it. She hired a personal trainer and began studying nutrition instead of pastries! She lost 108 pounds, completely changing her life and career path. Fitness and health became her true passion and calling. Heather became an ACE certified personal trainer in 2000. After working at one of the largest gyms in Orange County, her entrepreneurial spirit sparked. In 2001, she opened TONE @ HOME Personal Training, a traveling personal training and health coaching business servicing the Orange County area. Over the past 19 1/2 years, Heather has transformed hundreds of clients' lives with her inspirational philosophies and programs.
"When I meet a new client for the first time, I am completely open and honest with them about my battle with weight. I feel people really appreciate that I understand what they are experiencing and feeling. Building this initial trust is key to the client-trainer relationship." -Heather
