I was so excited when a coworker shared her wonderful experience working with Fit Bodies Inc.  What could be more perfect, a great vacation experience combined with physical fitness!  This is a lifetime fitness enthusiast's dream.  It wouldn't be a vacation without a super workout with fellow vacationers.  

Prior to my fitness career I was a college professor for 28 years teaching Criminal Justice.  My extensive teaching experience has honed my ability to create a fun learning environment where students are encouraged to participate and achieve.  Whether it is a college classroom or a group exercise class, people enjoy doing things with others.  The cohesion that fitness brings between kindred spirits is magic.         

My teaching style is very personalized to every participant in my class whether on campus or at the gym.  I make sure each participant's needs are met.  Some come to fitness classes to tone their bodies, some to reduce stress, some to socialize and just have fun.  I appeal to each of these.  To the serious trainee I provide sound technical expertise; I pay close attention to technique in movement to avoid injuries and optimize the body's potential.  By making my classes fun and relaxing no matter what one's fitness level is people loosen up and relax which is what vacation is all about.  The net effect is fun for everyone, including me.

My skill is in resistance training classes.  I like weight training and other body toning type workouts such as Barre and Pilates.  I keep myself in top physical condition by routiningly lifting 17.5 lb dumbbells, I can bench 75 lbs.  Resistance bands, both handled and smaller circle bands are a regular part of my classes.  While I do not teach step classes regularly I have taken step for a number of years.  I bring 40 years of fitness experience to the party.  I'm a popular instructor at my Y and enjoy every minute of my classes and all my members.

Beyond my fitness career and having been a retired professor, I am also a realtor.  My husband and I enjoy traveling and of course working out.  We are active in our church; our faith is of primary importance in everything we do.  I lead 2 Bible study groups and would be happy to hold Christian Bible studies if asked by your clients to do so.  We have grown children and 5 grandchildren. 

Fit Bodies Inc. sounds like a really cool experience, my husband Larry and I would both enjoy.
