Tyra Fortson

Hello,

My name is Tyra Fortson. I have been teaching fitness classes for 8 years. I am passionate about fitness, health, community and finding enjoyment through and in exercise. I love encouraging and motivating people in classes and individually. I live in northern Michigan. I am an art teacher in the public schools and have been spreading creativity for over twenty years. Outside of the school day I teach fitness currently at two resorts, (6-8) classes per week. I also took on a Girls Get Fit class at school this year.

My favorite classes to teach are Zumba, Cardio Interval, Barre, and Yoga. I am a certified personal trainer through ISSA. I am a 200 hour RYT certified Yoga instructor. I also have certifications in Zumba, Barre, RIPPED, First and Second Degree Reiki,  and CPR. I have taught many types of classes beyond my certificates and believe in a well rounded and whole body approach to fitness.

Some of my hobbies and favorite things to do include: traveling, spending time in nature, hiking, boating, gardening, cooking, dancing, creating art, music, and spending time with my family and friends. 

I am eager and motivated to expand my fitness experience by traveling to resorts to share my passion and experience in the fitness world. I am a positive, energetic, friendly teacher. I encourage and motivate all class participants. I offer modifications and enjoy teaching several formats and levels of classes.
