Meet the Instructors

Emily:
I have always enjoyed physical activity and moving non-stop.  I started dance class at age 3 and joined my first gym at age 12.  I truly LOVE to workout and sweat.  I love how I feel and I enjoy being and staying healthy.  I have 3 kids (20,16,12) and teach second grade in Hallsville.  In my free time I love to read, cook, clean, quilt, and be outside doing chores.
I teach step aerobics, body blast, and am certified to teach Zumba.
My motivation to workout has always been how it makes me feel and also staying healthy so I can be around for a long time for my kids!  My parents both have passed due to diseases, that if they took better care of their health, could have lived a lot longer.  I want to keep ladies healthy so they can be there for their families for many years!
