Lucinda Allen

I believe that achieving physical fitness brings quality of life for individuals. While health and fitness is not my occupation, it is my advocation. I have actively pursued fitness since 1983; I began teaching Step Classes at my club in October 2000. I added Muscle Sculpting classes and Young at Heart Classes (for seniors) in 2002. In 2003, I became Johnny G certified. In 2005, I became a Star 2 Johnny G certified instructor. I am a strong supporter of continued learning in the area of fitness instruction. Over the years, research has changed methods, instruction and behaviors that were once presumed to be healthy. Instructors need to continue their own education in order to provide a challenging and safe class. I also support the concept that wellness is about balance in our lives. While physical fitness is important, overall wellness is achieved when we are ""fit"" in our mental, emotional and spiritual lives.
