WHY DID YOU BECOME A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR?

I went to my first Core Fusion class on December 14, 2009. It took me a month to walk back into Exhale again. I started taking Susan’s class religiously. She is a wonderful teacher and a major influence of mine. I became so drawn not only to Core Fusion but to Exhale and the community it provided.

I decided to become a fitness instructor about 6 years ago. I was running marathons because I had thought that was the only way I could stay in shape. I kept injuring myself and I also wasn’t improving. I began to get frustrated. I had just finished college and was babysitting for a former Exhale teacher Susan Fitzpatrick. She told me how Core Fusion classes could improve my running and prevent injury so I went to my first class on December 14, 2009. I began to ask how to become a teacher a friend put in a good word for me to Denise Griffin Crowe. Denise approached me about teaching and going through the 250 hour teacher training program and my life hasn’t been the same since. I’m so lucky to be teaching Core Fusion and I am grateful everyday. #blessed”
