Margaret Chapman

My name is Marge Chapman, and I am a fitness professional with almost 10 years experience in the business.  I have been teaching group ex classes since 2007. In 2009, I obtained my Mad Dogg spinning certification and Personal trainer certification.  I have since obtained several additional certifications including a step certification, a second group ex certification (first was through AFAA which I keep active, but more recently through ACE, which I also keep active), certification in a class called RIPPED and soon will be taking my AEA (Aquatics) certification in the fall of 2016.  I am a former RN (I keep my license active but am not currently working in nursing) and just finished my masters in human nutrition this past spring (2016).  I am a life long learner and I enjoy my fitness career tremendously, as it allows me to connect with people, get them moving, and almost always, get my class participants smiling.  I am also an adjunct professor at a local community college where I teach nutrition to nursing and culinary students.  

I am dependable, conscientious person who is dedicated to improving people's lives through my extensive knowledge of health and wellness.  I am passionate about learning, as well as teaching others and making a difference in the health and quality of people's lives through example, knowledge and hard work.  Having a nursing background has been invaluable to me by enabling me to help others with my knowledge, as a parent, a clinical nurse, a case manager, a group exercise instructor, and now as a nutritionist.  My personal motto is you are the master of your own life, and control the path you choose to take.
