 I am 28 years old and I live in Loveland, Colorado. I presently work at Orchards Athletic Club, a local Gym in Loveland and this past month was awarded Employee of the month for excelling as an employee of Orchards.  I have been taking (self taught from DVD) Pilates for the past 8 years. In March of 2010, I became a Certified Pilates instructor through the AAAI/ ISMA conference in CO Springs, CO. (Kris Korey as my Instructor), and the following May took over a preexisting class as my own. I have been the instructor of that class now for the past year and a half. In September of 2010, I started the first phases of my Les Mills Bodyflow Certfication (a combination of Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates). This Certification took me around 4 months to complete. It was a challenging process, but taught me discipline, skill and persistance. I am presently teaching a weekly Bodyflow class in addition to Pilates, and substitute aqua classes and classes involving elderly people. I recently started a small group fitness class through my church combining some basic Pilate routines and simple Aerobic exercises, helping those who have never been to a gym, have had surgeries that have prevented them from exercising, and ones who are beginners at becoming physically fit. My Future Goals pertain to becoming a group fitness instructor, and this year I am planning on doing either a primary or step aerobic instructor or developing into a Pilates 3 instructor. I am also Persuing starting my own business as an independent contractor with Citipointe, a gym in Fort Collins, CO, and later down the road would possibly like to have my own Pilates studio. I am actively involved with my church, in dance and working with Children. My purpose in teaching fitness is persuing the desire God has placed in me, working with the gifts He has given me to instill confidence in others, Changing their lives, helping them to become who they are made to be and helping them to become healthy and feel great about themselves,also to make fitness fun and something people WANT to do.
