Mickey Tyler-Ragan

I am an extremely energetic, positive person who loves fitness and making a positive difference in other peoples' lives each and every day!!! I started dancing from the time I could walk and have continued to enjoy dancing, sports and fitness ever since! I love being able to inspire and encourage all fitness levels to enjoy fitness so much that it doesn't seem like working out - but a party! I believe in creating an experience for every student who takes my class and have continued to learn and take courses and trainings to keep furthering my education and abilities. Living life to its fullest and feeling like I made a difference in others' lives is what I strive for and challenge myself with everyday. As you can see by my Professional Experience I have been teaching fitness classes most of my life and have chosen to permanently incorporate it into my daily routine. Shortly after college I spent a year travelling as a Tour Director and our company motto was this may be the last vacation these people will ever go on so make it their BEST. I was ranked as the #1 Tour Director in the company and took this direction very seriously and still live by that today with every student walking into my class! I think I would be a great asset to any resort where I would make sure that every guest felt like they were special and would leave feeling like they just had the best workout experience of their life!!! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Southern Illinois University in 1990 with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Speech Communications with a specialization in Public Relations and a double Minor in Journalism and Pyschology.
