Pegeen (Peggy) Turbides

My name is Pegeen Turbides but folks call me Peggy for short.   I am a single mom with one terrific 17-year-old daughter.  Born and raised in New York City, my daughter and I relocated to North Carolina in January of 2010.

I started working in the fitness industry as a Membership Consultant for Towne Sports International in 1999 and then for O2 Fitness here in North Carolina when we moved. To say I love the fitness industry is an understatement!   

Currently, I work full time in Telecommunications and part-time teaching yoga. I am extremely outgoing and very much a people person. I think people are drawn to me because of my positive outlook and friendly demeanor.  I have been told that my teaching style is upbeat with a strong command of the room.  Last year I took a week vacation to the Breathless Resort in the Dominican Republic by myself.  It was my first time traveling alone and I had a wonderful time.  It was then that I decided I would like to travel more often.  While on vacation I became friendly with the fitness instructor at the resort who told me about your organization.

Yoga is my passion, as I find it to be the thing that keeps me present and balanced. With travel being another interest, I figured why not combine the two!
