LOURDES - With a family, and career, I have struggled with weight in the past along with the debilitating pain and discomfort associated with scoliosis. I know all too well the obstacles and challenges standing in the way of attaining health and one's fitness goals. After meeting and training with a personal trainer I was inspired by how my body was transforming and my health and stamina improving. I decided to become a certified personal trainer for self knowledge and most of all to pass this knowledge to others in need.

JODI - I have been on both sides of the weight loss and fitness battle, and this is why I want to help others figure it out. I think fitness is the key to getting healthy and keeping or losing weight. I have maintained an over 80 pound weight loss and got hooked into fitness about twelve years ago. I work with all types of people: male and female and young and old. I like to keep it interesting and fun, while still making my clients feel accountable and able to stick to a program to get results. I teach several classes per week and train clients one on one, and in small groups too.

JACKIE - I’ve been a Group Exercise Instructor & Personal Trainer for almost 20 years, and my love of making fitness fun has led me to try many different things from aerobics competitions, to marathon walks, to sprint triathlons & even racing in mud! If you’re having fun, it won’t feel like a “work” out!

ODELL - I have always loved being involved with sports and fitness. I believe when you commit to getting in shape you are making an investment in your future. The opportunity I have to help others succeed and develop a healthy lifestyle through exercise is very rewarding. It is my job as a trainer to educate you with proper and safe techniques, keep your intensity level up, motivate you to continue towards your goals and help you learn how to change bad lifestyle habits into good ones.
HEATHER - I was blessed early on to discover how exercise and healthy choices could positively impact my life. As a teen, I found weight loss “success” on a restrictive diet. The positive attention I received from others felt great but inside I knew I was unstable around food; depriving myself more and more to maintain slipping results. Discovering the power of exercise was life-changing for me. Unlike the oppression imposed by restrictive dieting; exercise connected me to my body and empowered me to unlock my potential physically, and mentally. I could no longer justify depriving myself; from a deep place I knew… there had to be a better way. The pursuit to find “the better way” inspired a life-long study of the body and how it works.

LINDA - THE WOMEN WHO MADE TIME STOP! I am dedicated to the sport of Body Building and health and fitness. On January 5, 2009 I celebrated my 66th birthday and my 27th year of participating in bodybuilding. Coming from a track and field and dance background of my youth, I discovered bodybuilding at age 39 and it changed my life. To me it is the most exacting, fascinating, demanding, selfish, disciplined sport I know of and I love it!! In some ways it helped me balance the demands of my professional career plus it gave me the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting people.

FRANK - I have been a certified fitness instructor and Hatha yoga instructor since 2002. My primary areas of concentration are biomechanics and resistance training and their effects on joints and the musculoskeletal system. The biomechanical analysis and functional application methods I use have been successful in achieving effective long term results with various populations including, adolescence, geriatrics, post-rehabilitation, and competitive athletes. We must see ourselves (the structure) as would an engineer working on a bridge finding the weak links and maintaining its stability and strength.

SITA - Well-being, meditation, deep breathing, and healthy eating have always been the core of my lifestyle.
In 2005 once I became certified in Hatha Yoga, I applied my overall experiences together with other styles of yoga into my teachings.
Depending what style of yoga is requested or preferred, I guide students into static Hatha poses, Vinyasa flow movements, and Core building. I help students engage with their breathing throughout the stretches to fuel and energize their mind-body and to deepen their inner focus.

MICHAEL - Experimenting with various forms of yoga over the last ten years, Michael came to find its life-enhancing practice—both the mental and the physical—held a very special place in his life. He discovered that he would like to someday share his cultivated enthusiasm with others through teaching.
QUOTE: "The yoga postures and breath are tools to rebuild and transform ourselves. The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots—we’re already tied in knots. The aim is to untie the knots in our heart. The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power of the universe." Max Strom
