Stacy Therrien

My name is Stacy and I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of fitness class since March of 2012.  Zumba was the first format I was licensed to teach and it has opened the door to other fitness formats. Teaching fitness classes has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.   It has allowed me the opportunity to work with clients of various abilities, sizes, limitations and ages. One of my greatest accomplishments, in my opinion, is looking out into a class and seeing this kind of range attending my classes.  Accessibility to everyone is very important to me. As a full time educator, I have been able to use that role in the fitness industry as a way to teach my clients effectively, especially in cuing. It is important for me to be able to provide a class that offers participants a way to increase intensity and to modify moves to accommodate limitations. Outside of fitness, I work as a full time Preschool Special Educator where I have been employed for the last 20 years!  I am an avid hiker who spends as much time as possible in the woods. I recently accomplished the task of completing the 48 NH 4K list in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The task involved hiking the 48, 4,000+ foot mountains in NH. I am currently working on the NE4K list which involves hiking the 4K+ mountains in Vermont and Maine as well. I enjoy adventuring with my husband of 18 years and my 2 teenage children.
