Jennifer Piela

I have worked in the fitness industry for almost 12 years now. During that time, I have been actively involved in training a variety of individuals in one-on-one and group environments. I am able to work well with a variety of ages and abilities, and strive to keep each and every individual safe in my classes and my trainings. During my career I have spent time in medical and sports training environments, as well as the YMCA. At the YMCA I served as the Health and Fitness Director for almost 6 years. I oversaw the Personal Training, Group Exercise and Cycling departments. I held all instructors to same level of expectation that I hold myself to. I believe instructors should be professional, yet welcoming and personable. My certifications are from ACE, as a group exercise instructor; NSCA, as a certified strength and conditioning specialist; YMCA of the USA- in a variety of formats- many of which I now serve as a staff trainer for across the US. I am trained in YogaFit Level 1, and will be certified in Zumba Basic the summer of 2011. My specialties are Bootcamp and Indoor Cycling, although I enjoy teaching all formats.
