APRIL PARKER

I am a married mother of 2 children who has battled weight issues for over 10 years but after the birth of my daughter I decided to commit myself to a healthier lifestyle. Over the next 2 years I lost 93 pounds and found the true me. I went to work with the YMCA as a Wellness Coach, giving general advice and mostly sharing my story. It was after working with a few clients I decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I then went through the group exercise training the Y offers so that I could become an instructor. As soon as I could I attended a YogaFit training and became a Yoga instructor. During this time I received a promotion and became the Wellness Coordinator for my branch. We decided to add Cycle to our aerobics schedule and so I completed the training through the Y to become and instructor for that program. I am dedicated to fitness and helping others reach their goals.
