Rebecca Johnston

     My name is Rebecca Johnston, and I have been a Group Fitness Instructor in Modesto, CA for the past 5 years.  As a high school student, I taught and participated in acrobatics and tumbling at several local tumbling studios.  After having my daughter in 2000, I decided I really needed to do something to feel good about me.  After joining a gym in 2002, the Group Exercise Supervisor approached me about considering teaching.  I thought "Well, I'm here every day anyway... why not?!"  By 2003, I began teaching, and - despite getting pregnant with my son right away - never stopped.

     I really enjoy the Group Exercise format.  It's exciting to challenge each individual at their own fitness level.  I try to provide a lot of options so that nobody gets bored, yet everyone experiences an acheivable and invigorating workout.  My mantra is "As long as your sweating..."!

     I love the idea of offering people a workout while on vacation.  Not only does it help to balance out that infamous "vacation diet,"  but it gives people a chance to really feel like they're doing something good for themselves.  That's an incredible opportunity of which I'd love to be part!
