After 20 years of being in the marine corps, and retiring in 1997,I finaly found a job I really enjoy. In Nov. of 2004 I joined a gym that had BodyPump and took one class and right away I knew I was going to be a pump instructer. In just a few short months I went to the training in Va. with "the masters"- Pete Manual and Alani Mala. I've been doing BodyPump ever since. I even got my certification in BodyAttack,life just can"t get any better!
