Barbara Shaw

Born in August 1976, I have always been an active person.  Oldest of 3 siblings, and oldest of 20 grandchildren it was a lot of running around and having fun.

I started dancing at age 3 and continued for 15+ years into college and was a memeber of a local dance company from 1994-1996. I began acting in highschool and have continued on that path, ranging anywhere from Theatre to working on the set of "Homeland".  I started teaching when my daughter was little to make a little extra money, but quickly realized that fitness is where my passion is, and teaching fulfilled that need to move and to be in front of people entertaining along with educating them.  I started out with a general certification through the local Y in 2004 so that I could begin teaching group fitness, and since then it has evolved.  I teach many different formats, most are prechoreographed, but I am also able to pull together any type of class quickly to accommodate the needs of class participants and various levels of fitness. 

Hopefully with my knowledge and passion for health and fitness, I can continue to learn and help people for the rest of my life.
