JEANNINE Runyan

My name is Jeannine Runyan and I teach a variety of Group Exercise
classes, but my specialities are Zumba, Zumba Gold, and willPower &
Grace. Since 1989 I have been in the health and fitness industry,
and possess a passion for helping others improve their quality of life
through exercise that is fun, safe, and motivating.

I'm a "Jill of all trades" if you will when it comes to Group
Exercise, with licenses in multiple formats from TurboKick, Hip Hop
Hustle, YogaFit, willPower & Grace, to my all-time favorite class:
Zumba. I am certified through AFAA and have my CPR/AED. My classes
have one goal: deliver a safe but intense workout that the members
enjoy. I want my classes to forget they are working out, and get lost
in smiling, sweating, and moving their bodies.

Within the Portland Zumba community, I am known for being reliable,
easy to work with, and a great mentor to new instructors. I am
currently running a four-week course called "So you think you can
teach?" to give new Zumba instructors the skills to teach their own
classes. I have successfully mentored a half dozen new instructors,
taking them from their one day Zumba license to teaching a full hour
successfully.

This winter I completed my internship with the willPower Method and am
now a licensed willPower & Grace instructor. I find willPower to be
the most physically challenging class I have ever taught. It takes
the disciplines of yoga and pilates, combines it with the intensity of
a bootcamp class, and the uplifting message of a mind/body class. I
watch my students build their strength and flexibility from the ground
up. willPower is at the forefront of barefoot fitness, if you have
not heard of it yet, feel free to check out the link below.

I appreciate you taking the time to review my qualification and I hope to be able to provide your guests with a world class fitness experience soon.

In health and wellness,

Jeannine
