Life Time Fitness, Troy
I started out my fitness career when I started at Central Michigan University. I started on the Physical Therapy route, but then switched over and graduated with a degree in Exercise Science. My intentions were to enter the Fitness Industry as a Personal Trainer, with no intentions of teaching Group Classes in the studios! As I did my internship at the Chrysler World Headquarters (in Auburn Hills), one requirement before I left was to instruct a complete Group Fitness class...... a STEP class by all means!!!!!! Needless to say, I did, and I LOVED IT!!!!
I went back to CMU for one more semester to finish up and found myself teaching a step class and a weight training class at a local studio.....
I graduated and within a year had gotten hired at Life Time, full time as a Personal Trainer (November 1998). We opened the club in January of 1999 and I had met the Group Fitness Department Head, and she immeditely put me on the schedule for a few classes: Aqua and a Strictly Strength class.
Since then, I have continued full-time with Personal Training with both one-on-one training, and also moved into the role of Group Training Coordinator. I run group classes (outside the studio) with Weight Loss, Fitness and Boot Camp. I also Coach all of them. I also am a technician for our Metabolic Testing division (testing for Cardiovascular ability and Nutritional needs).
I've advanced myself to teach more classes in the studio, including Studio Cycle (which is my favorite!) and a variety of strength classes.
Fitness has always been a passion of mine and it's AWESOME to do what I LOVE! It not only inspires me to workout and sweat everyday, but to also bring my excitement and passion for fitness to others through teaching classes! It not only feels great when I see results, but even better when I'm a part of someone elses fitness results!
Outside of teaching in the studio, I LOVE to compete in lots of endurance events. I've been running and competing in triathlons for the past 10 years. I also love all seasons that our great state of Michigan has to offer and love outdoor activities that include: running, cycling, jet skiing, water skiing, snowmobiling.... anything that allows me to sweat outdoors!
Lululemon has inspired me to be an even better Fitness Professional. They have a way of inspiring others thru not only their fitness apparel, but in every sense of promoting a Healthy Lifestyle! It is a true pleasure to be associated with a company that is in direct alignment with my purpose in life!
Along with my B.S. in Exercise Science, I have 2 National Certifications through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (N.A.S.M), and also the American Council on Exercise (A.C.E.)
