I have always enjoyed the sense of accomplishment and purpose that accompanies challenging physical tasks. Add people to the mix, and you've added an enjoyable social aspect to exercising. I love teaching all types of programs because they are each challenging in a different way, and they each attract different types of people. I like the mutual encouragement that is cultivated in group fitness.
I am a military wife and, given our lifestyle, we move around with great frequency. Being a fitness instructor has proven to be ideal. It helps me meet new people when we move, and I enjoy seeing how different fitness facilities manage and organize their classes. I'm always looking for better techniques and teaching tools, and hope to give my students a class that provides a sense of accomplishment and encouragement.
