Personal Biography
Virginnia Womack grew up in the small town of Richlandtown, Pennsylvania. Growing up
she always found joy in staying active and putting a lot of effort into her educational pursuits. As
a member of the National Honor Society throughout High School, she began pursuing more
advanced courses by taking part in the advanced placement courses and enrolling in the college
courses offered to her high school through Lehigh Carbon Community College. Though she had
an excellent thirst for knowledge, she knew that she wanted to make a larger impact with her life
and decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 during the summer
before her senior year of high school. For the next year, she was part of the Delayed Entry
Program to help prepare her body for the physical and mental demands expected during Marine
Corps Boot Camp.
Virginnia departed for Marine Corps Recruiting Depot Parris Island in July of 2007, shortly
after graduating high school, for recruit training. She was trained as an Administrative
Specialist, serving her country in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and completing two
deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. During her time in the military she found enjoyment in the
physical training involved and was determined to turn this into a career in fitness after receiving
an honorable discharge from service in October of 2011. After completing her Associate’s
Degree in Exercise Science and receiving a Master Trainer Certification from the International
Sports Sciences Association, she began working as a Personal Trainer through her own business,
Swolmack Fitness.
While she continues to work with clients through online personal training services, her
main focus for the future is to continue learning more about the fitness industry and gaining
greater experience in gym operations. Working with clients from many backgrounds, she wanted
PORTFOLIO 5
to continue her education to ensure the best resources were provided. This led to starting the
Sports and Health Sciences Fitness and Wellness Professional Studies program with American
Military University.
Aside from continuing to educate herself on the fitness and wellness
industry through school programs, Virginnia is also involved in her own
personal journey to continue her own fitness. She competed in her first
National Physique Committee event in the figure division in September of
2015, just a year after giving birth to her first son and has plans to compete in
the women’s physique division in September of 2016.

Example of Work
In every area of the fitness industry I believe it is important to have an understanding of
the human body and the ways in which fitness and body composition goals can be reached.
Becoming a gym manager can involve overseeing the fitness trainer staff and knowing how to
critically evaluate their work will be important.
In order to show my understanding of the training process I include the below, a training
and meal program put together for a client who wanted to train for a Spartan Race.
The first portion is the body statistics form I used for weekly check-ins. Measurements
taken may vary depending on client goals or personal preferences. The number found within the
parentheses are from the previous weeks check-in and new values are placed on the line
provided. This form also includes a goal section that is reviewed each week and adjusted as the
client progresses and forms new goals.

  • 4. PORTFOLIO 4 Personal Biography Virginnia Womack grew up in the small town of Richlandtown, Pennsylvania. Growing up she always found joy in staying active and putting a lot of effort into her educational pursuits. As a member of the National Honor Society throughout High School, she began pursuing more advanced courses by taking part in the advanced placement courses and enrolling in the college courses offered to her high school through Lehigh Carbon Community College. Though she had an excellent thirst for knowledge, she knew that she wanted to make a larger impact with her life and decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 during the summer before her senior year of high school. For the next year, she was part of the Delayed Entry Program to help prepare her body for the physical and mental demands expected during Marine Corps Boot Camp. Virginnia departed for Marine Corps Recruiting Depot Parris Island in July of 2007, shortly after graduating high school, for recruit training. She was trained as an Administrative Specialist, serving her country in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and completing two deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. During her time in the military she found enjoyment in the physical training involved and was determined to turn this into a career in fitness after receiving an honorable discharge from service in October of 2011. After completing her Associate’s Degree in Exercise Science and receiving a Master Trainer Certification from the International Sports Sciences Association, she began working as a Personal Trainer through her own business, Swolmack Fitness. While she continues to work with clients through online personal training services, her main focus for the future is to continue learning more about the fitness industry and gaining greater experience in gym operations. Working with clients from many backgrounds, she wanted

This led to starting the Sports and Health Sciences Fitness and Wellness Professional Studies program with American Military University.

She competed in her first National Physique Committee event in the figure division in September of 2015, just a year after giving birth to her first son and has plans to compete in the women’s physique division in September of 2016.
