Hi All,
For years many people have always told me I should be a personal trainer. I studied classical ballet for 20 years or so, danced professionally, did undergraduate studies in ballet, anatomy, kinesiology, and physiology. I have a strong movement background and have always helped friends out at the gym. I also love to rock climb. Two years ago while taking Spinning classes, the instructors once again told me I should teach. This time I decided to give it a try and so began my formal career as a fitness professional. I took the Schwinn Cycle Instructor's class and began teaching classes at Lifetime Fitness in Lawrenceville, GA (AKA..Team Shuga). I loved it.
My husband had began learning kettlebells during his travels and we found a great instructor in Atlanta. Delaine Ross gave me my first kettlebell lesson. I loved it. I took what I learned, bought a kettlebell and began training in my basement. It really fit my lifestyle. I worked full time as a Title 1 Coordinator, I have school aged twins, taught cycle classes. I was busy. It was great to become more proficient with the KB because I could just go in my basement with one kettlebell and BAM! Cardio and weight training DONE! I was hooked and started going to KB workshops held at Delaine's gym. I met Brett Jones and learned a whole new way of using the KB to correct the bad movement patterns that had crept up on my body. He told me to get with Doc Cheng when I move back to LA. So began my quest to pass the RKC. With the help of Doc Cheng and my husband Ron, I passed the RKC in August 2010. I also passed the American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer exam this past year. I am ready!!
