When I was in college, I started taking fitness classes and I really enjoyed it, but there was a problem. Either I enjoyed the choreography, but the music wasn't so great, or I enjoyed the music, but the choreography lacked. I said to myself, "I think I can do this". And that is what I did. I started teaching classes at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. It was the best training that a new instructor could get! I LOVED it. At the end of the year, we had a picnic and I won the most votes for best choreography and best music. I was thrilled and I was HOOKED! It was a GREAT way to stay in shape and making a little extra money in college is ALWAYS good. It then became a lifestyle change for me and I began to educate myself about the latest fitness trends and nutrition information. Most importantly, I enjoyed passing that knowledge on to others. So, I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years now, and I love it. I continue to challenge myself and my clients to go beyond what is comfortable and routine. I have taken my love for physical fitness and have competed in fitness and bikini competitions across the country. I truly enjoy giving the gifts of fitness information in a group setting and I have worked with Fit Bodies in the past at Grand Lido Negril (2001), Grand Lido Braco (2004), Couples Ocho Rios (2006), Couples Swept Away (2007), Couples San Souci (2008), Secrets Maroma Beach (2009), Couples Tower Isle (2010), Rose Hall Resort and Spa (2011), Secrets Maroma Beach (2011), Now Puerto Vallarta (2012), Dreams Riviera Cancun (2014), Secrets Montego Bay (2015) and this year, Secrets Puerto Los Cabos (2019).
