I have been teaching group fitness classes for a little over one year, although I have been participating in group fitness classes for almost three years. I learned much of what I know from watching the talented trainers and instructors, who are now my coworkers, teach fitness classes. I also had an opportunity to begin personal training clients under the supervision of a trained instructor while I was studying to become certified under the American Council on Exercise. I'm extremely grateful for that opportunity because it really solidified my studying and I passed the certification exam on December 1, 2010. I also go to school full time and plan to graduate in May 2011. I will have a Bachelor's degree of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics. In August 2011, I plan to begin a dietetic internship and eventually become a registered dietitian sometime in the summer of 2012.
