India Gold

My name is India Gold.  I recently heard about this exciting opportunity through an employee who had friends who worked for Fit Bodies.  As you can see from my resume and certifications, I'm a Healthly Lifestyles Director for the YMCA.  I'm in charge of the group exercise and fitness program for our branch.  In addition, I teach physical education classes for Samford University.  I have a husband and two children.  My husband is a coach and teacher for a local school and ex-Marine.  We are currently in the process of fostering to adopt a third child. 

I grew up the daughter of a coach in a small town.  My life was a little like the girl on "Remember the Titans."  My earliest memories were hanging around a football field house.  After a disabiling disease in the 8th grade, where I was temporarily paralized, I became intrested in phyiscal theapy.  I went to college to seek a degree in alhletic training.  I wanted to work with athletes, since it seemed a natural fit for me.  It was in college that I changed directions and started working for the YMCA.  At the YMCA, I'm able to do a variety of things and work with all populations of people.  I get to teach classes daily and manage instructors and trainers.

My favorite thing to do is travel.  The traveling has been somewhat limited since having a family.  I would love this opportunty to take my family on a vacation while also doing what I love, which is coach, motivate, and work with people.  The part of my job I love is being able to positively effect people every day in trying to develop and instill a positive body, mind, and spirit.  I can teach about anything and would love this opportunity if selected.
