Celeste O'Reilly

Celeste O’Reilly hasn’t always been into fitness! Her whole life, she was always “average” to a bit over weight, but pregnancy changed that!  Seven years ago after her daughter was born, she weighed 272 pounds and was wearing a size 22!!  By November that year, she had only lost 12 pounds, and knew she didn’t want to be this size for the rest of her life!  She changed her diet and started taking Zumba classes because she has ALWAYS loved to dance.  After a year, she decided she wanted to teach it, and so began her fitness journey as an instructor.

She was licensed to teach Zumba in December of 2009, and started teaching private classes in February 2010. Celeste really enjoyed inspiring other women to incorporate fitness and healthy eating into their lives, so in October 2011, she got her certification as a Personal Trainer.  A certification in R.I.P.P.E.D. followed in March 2012, and then Tabata Bootcamp and Booty Beat in June 2014.  In November of 2014, Celeste was selected to be a Master Trainer for Train Dirty Fitness and thus became a fitness educator and trained new instructors to teach the formats of TDF Dance and TDF Kick.  She also earned her certification as a Group Fitness Instructor through ACE in Feb 2015.  She is currently taking the Mind Body Specialist certification through ACE to add Yoga and Pilates to her skill set.

She is so amazed that fitness (along with a healthy eating lifestyle, of course!) not only transformed her own body and mind, but her entire life. It was a path that she had never imagined possible, especially considering the fact that she didn’t even start teaching fitness until she was 38 years old.  Today, Celeste is 47, a mother of a 16 year boy and a 10 year old girl, and believes that even the smallest changes can make a huge impact. “Fitness can be attained at ANY age!  You have to begin your journey somewhere, and where it ends is only limited by what YOU believe you can do!  So believe in yourself…you CAN do it!!”
