Jackie Rood

My name is Jackie Rood. I have been a movement enthusiast my entire life. My passion for fitness and movement encouraged me to earn a BS in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2000. I began my career as a middle and elementary school physical education teacher . After having children of my own (currently a 14 year old boy and 12 year old girl,) I focused my attention on group fitness classes and Yoga. I am currently a National Trainer, Assessor, and Presenter for Les Mills and live in Madison, WI. I am also a certified personal trainer.  I believe that a well balanced fitness routine keeps minds fresh and bodies challenged.

When I am not teaching classes at the gym, I enjoy traveling, supporting my children at their sporting events, wine tasting with my husband, and hanging out friends.
