Christine Ensslin

I have been teaching group exercise for over 10 years in various health club and school settings. In addition, I lead a bootcamp program for our local YMCA, which has resulted in weight loss and tremendous fitness gains for participants. I am also a runner and have competed in both short and long distance races. I enjoy trying new classes and keeping up on the latest health and fitness trends. Vacations offer a fantastic opportunity to check out how others outside one's local environment practice fitness! Beyond my knowledge of fitness theory and practice and many years of experience, I (still) truly love to exercise and share my joy in it with as many others as possible. I love the mental and physical challenges and rewards of pushing the body to the next level. Leading others to know the same enjoyment in their quest to live strong has become one of my missions. Beyond my fitness certifications from AFAA, Resist-a-Ball, TurboKick and FiTour, I hold a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University and an MBA from The University at Albany. I am married and a mother to 3 wonderfully active young boys. Outside the gym and home, I work as a project manager in marketing for a self-insured workers' compensation administrator.
