Alisa Kadus

My name is Alisa Kadus. I am a 35 year old woman happily married to my amazing husband and have been blessed with two incredible children. I have had a passion for fitness for as long as I can remeber. As a child I avidly played softball and soccer and continued on with athletics through high school. In college I began to run on a regualr basis and started to take group fitness classes in the college fitness center. I fell in love with the positive energy, motivating music and support from the instructor and others taking the classes. I continued taking classes after college and got certified to teach Step Aerobics. I taught Step and Body Sculpting for three years at Life Plex, a gym in my town of Suffern, NY, which is no longer in business. Although I enjoyed teaching Step my passion for Spin began to grow even stronger as I found myself taking these classes more and more. I am an Elementary School teacher and in 2007 a few teachers asked if I would teach an informal spin class in the high school's fitness room. The district had just purchased new spin bikes yet no one was using them. I eagerly agreed! During that first class I taught I immediately felt so comfortable up there on that bike. I knew this was what I wanted to start teaching on a regular basis. I got certified through Spinning/ Mad Dog Athletics and began teaching night classes at the Gold's Gym in my area. Once I had my daughter in 2007 I was home from teaching on a maternity leave and was able to teach morning classes as well. I have since then taught two classes a wekk at Gld's Gym and love it just as much as that first time I got up on that bike in front of my colleagues! In addition to fitness I also have a passion for travel. My husband and I are both educators and so we have the gift of time to travel in the summer months (as well as over February and Spring breaks). With the cost of travel being so expensive these days this opportunity to teach Spinning and or Body Sculpting classes on vacation is such an amazing win-win situation. I would be estatic to be able to teach at any resorts offering these fitness classes. I would give each class 100% and welcome the opportunity to have my enthusiasm and ebullient personality rub off on the guests taking my classes. Thank you, Alisa Kadus
