I have been a group fitness instructor for thirteen years, certified through the YMCA of the USA. I became an instructor after I began taking step classes and loved it so much. After being approached by the instructor about teaching, I thought, it would be great to be able to teach something that I love doing myself! Group fitness is my passion, as I love being a positive influence on the lives of others. I also enjoy running and riding my road bike. I completed a duathlon (5k run/15 mile bike/5k run) in 2007, which was something that I wanted to do before I turned 40 years old. That had to be the most invigorating thing that I have ever done, fitness-wise!! I am married to the love of my life 20 years this July. We have two children, a 14 yr old son, and a 26 year old daughter who is my stepdaughter.
