Kerri Courtright

Kerri Courtright is a professional Fitness Trainer and athlete.  Kerri has began her fitness career as a dancer studying ballet with the Joliet Ballet Society under the guidance of Claudette Soltis.  Upon entering high school, Kerri turned her sights to a faster form of dance.  Kerri joined the high school dance team earning two national dance titles.  After high school, Kerri was recrited by the company that held the national dance competitions.  For the next 3 years, Kerri would travel throughtout the United States to choreograph, train and teach college dance teams.  Shortly after college, Kerri was one of 4,000 females to try out for the professional cheerleading team, Chicago-Luv-A-Bulls. Not only did Kerri make the team, she performed at over 80% of the basketball games (Although on the team of 25, the girls needed to compete before each game to ensure the best were performing).  A few years later Kerri tried out for and earned a coveted spot on the B96  Chicago radio station dance team.  This team traveled throughout the Chicagoland area performing to the hottest hits on the radio.  The highlight of the year was dancing on stage with the the most popular bands of the year at the Chicago B96 Summer bash.

Kerri stopped dancing in order to have a family and start a business. Kerri continued to teach fitness classes and do personal training.

Six years after her last child was born, Kerri decided to enter into a beauty pageant.  Kerri entered the USA pageant family looking to earn the Mrs. Illinois title.  Although Kerri did not win the title of Mrs. Illinois, Kerri earned Mrs. Minooka and People's Choice.  When Kerri did not enter the next year, the pageant company called her to request she try again.  

Kerri continues to teach and currently leads between 11 and 20 classes per week.  

Always looking to improve her mind and body, Kerri is currently enrolled at the University of Illinois in the Masters of Business Administration program.
