Maura Doherty

I have been teaching exercise since 1998. Group fitness is my specialty and I’ve taught to all ages. I hold certifications in Indoor Cycling, Body Pump, Cardio Kick Boxing and Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga as well as The Dailey Method. My A. C. E. certification ingroup fitness has been most valuable in opening up doors to teaching in several health clubs like the YMCA, The Five Seasons, Riverside Recreation Department and Loyola Center for Health and Fitness. I have a specilization in Mind-Body through A.C.E.  

 I co-owned/co-operated a boutique Spin/Pilates/Yoga studio in Hinsdale, IL. This experience gave me the courage open Good Karma Fitness, my Riverside home studio, in 2001.   Ever since, over 100 people per week walk through the doors to high energy cardio, strength or yoga classes. And many of these same clients have followed me to The Dailey Method studio in Oak Park, IL.  I am a senior barre and cycle teacher at Dailey and continue to run home studio classes weekly. 

When I’m not teaching or taking classes, I am the Office Manage my husband’s construction business. We live in Riverside, Illinois and have four children. I have a degree in English from the University of Illinois and continue to stay current with several of my fitness and yoga certifications.
