Ann
approaches exercise and training with the fundamental awareness that
linking an individual’s health and fitness goals with passion and
enjoyment is what creates and sustains success!
At the age of 7, Ann had her first encounter with what would become her lifelong passion for dance, and she has been inspired by movement ever since. As a young person she intensively studied many forms of dance, swam competitively, taught swimming lessons to children and worked summers as a lifeguard.
As a young adult, Ann translated her passion for movement to group exercise and for 25 years has taught Step, Hi-Lo, Circuit Training and most currently Group Power. She has taught group exercise on the island for 17 years and at Island Fitness since the club opened in August of 2002. She worked as Island Fitness’ Group Fitness Coordinator for 4 years.
Ann has been teaching people to move with music since she was 16 and intends to continue doing so until her last breath. She hopes that’s okay with Michael and Alexa. Adding Personal Training to the mix is a wonderful and natural extension of Ann’s lifetime experience in teaching and coaching.
Prior to moving to Seattle, Ann worked as Marketing Director for Indianapolis Ballet Theatre and subsequently owned and operated her own dance school in Bloomington, Indiana. Upon moving to Bainbridge Island in 1990 she had the privilege of directing the Preparatory Dance Program at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts for 12 years, coordinating community programs at IslandWood and serving as Interim Executive Director at Bainbridge Youth Services. In November 2007, Ann joined the Center for Courage & Renewal as Development Associate.
Ann’s education and certifications include National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer, Body Training Systems Group Power Instructor, ACE Group Exercise, BS in Ballet and MA in Arts Administration, Indiana University, Bloomington.
