Todd Deering

I am a BodyCombat instructor at both Trotter Family YMCA as well as Golds Gym Houston (Magnolia).  Back in 2007 I wanted to make a change in my life.  I work full time in an office for a major financial institution.  As you can imagine that is a very sedentary occupation.  Having a background in martial arts, and being married to a fitness instructor as well, I took it upon myself to make a change from fitness upon occasion to dedication to a class to improve my fitness in a way that I was experienced.  What I found on this journey was another person that is engaging with fellow teammates in my class as well as an ability to focus on the members.  Ultimately it's about the participants and enjoying their success in doing something they couldn't believe they could do at the beginning of a class and being happy they did.  I teach early mornings (6am or 5:30am depending on the gym).  I love teaching BodyCombat as a mixture of martial arts and fun.

One other note: I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, have trained other martial arts including most recently Brazilian Jujitsu.
