Shelby Wilcox

I grew up in the Midwest United States.  I have been a dancer for more than 25 years and danced at the University of Iowa for the nationally ranked Dance Team.  I developed a passion for group fitness after college and became a Les Mills certified Body Pump instructor 3 months after the birth of my first child.

I enjoy sharing my passion for health, wellness and fitness with others in class.  I love the comradery that develops among individuals working hard together to achieve goals.  I believe this is what initially can really get people excited about health and fitness and what eventually keeps everyone going when the times get tough.  They become your "gym family".

I live in North Liberty Iowa with my husband, and one year old son.  We love to travel and see the world.  I hope someday to be able to show my son the power that a healthy lifestyle can have on all aspects of your life.
