Jane Marie Grove

• Jane Grove has been a fitness instructor for more than 20 years, a journey that began when she attended a friend's class at a newly opened YMCA near her home. With encouragement and preparation from her friend, Jane applied for a fitness instructor position, was hired, and completed the YMCA's training program. She still proudly teaches at that YMCA and another location, promoting health and wellness in her community.

Originally from Ottawa, Illinois Jane now lives in Waterloo, Illinois. In addition to her fitness career, Jane dedicated 37.5 years to teaching special education, showing her lifelong commitment to helping others succeed. In her spare time, she enjoys walking, biking, shopping, traveling and trying new exercise classes to stay inspired and energized. Jane also teaches a Bible study at a women's jail, connecting with others through faith and encouragement.
