Cathy Castana

I began teaching group exercise in 1985 at Jack La Lanne in Wayne, NJ. In addition to classes, I also performed fitness assesments for new members and took them through a circuit workout coaching on form and technique. I worked part time during school and full time in the summer. After graduatuing college in 1988 and embarking on a career as a recruiter, I continued teaching classes evenings and weekends. 

I moved to Atlanta in 1996 and transferred to a Ballys Total Health gym in Sandy Springs, GA. Since 2002 I have been employed by LA Fitness. From 2008 -2012, I taught outdoor bootcamp sessions on a football field as well as my local swim / tennis's grounds. 

My LOVE and passion for fitness is undeniable! I have not stopped ( even through 2 pregnancies ) teaching. I am a role model and clearly walk the talk. I am super fit and have a loyal following at the gym. My classes are very popular and well attended as well as fun, motivating and challenging. Members tell me all the time that they love my enthusiasm, personality admire my high level of fitness. 

My current formats are kickboxing, bodysculpt, bootcamp ( both indoor and outdoor )  and sports conditioning. 

I am AFAA certified in both Primary Group Exercise and Kickbox. I also have the American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR / AED.
