Terri Schindler

Hi Everyone!!

I'm Terri Schindler - I retired from my corporate life in July 2023 and since have been loving life as a fitness professional, helping others to remain healthy and mobile and achieve their goals!  I am married, no children, but have 3 dogs and 2 cats that occupy my time.   I love being outdoors and we walk and hike on our hilly property in Ohio most everyday with our dogs by our sides!    (when I’m not at the gym)

I was a corporate employee for 42 years, moving through many positions and responsibilities, all with the same company.   I progressed from an IT (computer) background, to Customer Service, to Demand Manager and Project Manager.   Many of these were management positions and I interacted with employees and customers from all backgrounds and business levels.

During my life as a corporate employee, I decided I needed something more - outside of work!   Despite being an active person, I still wanted more, so I started exercising at lunch and after work.  

I immediately fell in love with yoga and attended my first yoga instructor training class in 2019 with YogaFit.   From that day forward, I was hooked.  I have attended and completed at least 60 yoga instructor training class with YogaFit – with more scheduled in the upcoming months.

I didn’t stop with Yoga…   I started teaching classes for my local community in Pennsylvania as well as teaching at a local fitness center

I was teaching yoga (gentle, chair, hatha flow), then added weight (barbell) and cardio classes.

I became a certified group instructor thru A.C.E. in  2022 and have been teaching classes at a local facility since I retired in 2023.   I currently have classes in:   Yoga, Stretching, Pilates, Barbell (weights), cardio classes (walking and boxing to music), meditation and mindfulness, and motion, mobility and balance for seniors (and everyone).   I customize/modify for all my participants so everyone can be an active member in my classes.

Approximately 2 years ago, I started leading water fitness classes and our local pool.   Attendance doubled in the two years, and I’m looking forward to warmer weather for the next round.   I am currently in discussion with a local hotel continue our water fitness classes throughout the winter months!

I’m not stopping there.   I have recently taken 2 Sound Bowl Classes and hope to be offering Sound Baths locally in the upcoming months.   I am signed up to learn more in breathwork, sound and energy in the next 6 months to increase my learning and abilities

I recently completed my certification with TRX and Suspension Training and I’m looking forward to adding that to my offerings as well as cycling.

I hope to never stop learning and next is paddleboard yoga, and who know what after that!!!

Looking forward to using my skills to increase health and well-being of those I have yet to meet!!!
