Fitness your way
My Journey
I started out in fitness as a way to earn extra money. I was a newly single mom and thought fitness would allow for me to earn money and still spend time with my daughter. First step for me was to get my personal training certification from NASM. My next certification was a kickboxing one from AFAA. Then came Les Mills Bodypump and Pound and PKFit. I started fitness as a way to earn money but I discovered I love teaching fitness. I am a teacher full time, so teaching fitness came naturally for me. I love teaching, so it makes sense that teaching fitness would become a passion.
