Lindy Lissner

I was involved in dance and cheerleading from elementary school through high school graduation, however the first time I found myself in a true gym environment was freshman year of college when I decided I needed to find a way to avoid gaining the “freshman 15.” I felt out of place in a gym setting and wasn’t sure where to begin. I started on the treadmill and decided to set a goal of being able to run one mile in under 10 minutes, something that I had never been able to achieve previously. I took it a quarter of a mile at a time, and within a few months I had met my goal.

My personal fitness journey continued after my college graduation where I expanded my workouts to include a variety of group fitness classes at my local YMCA. I quickly discovered Zumba, which proved to be the perfect way to combine my love dancing with my new found love of fitness. Eventually I found myself on the other side of the microphone and began teaching group fitness classes in 2010.

Through group fitness I’ve found that I have a true passion for showing people how strong they are and enjoy being a source of motivation to help them reach their goals. This passion is what led me to pursue my personal training certification in 2016.
