Qualified To Teach

BODYPUMP™

CURRENT PLAY LIST (wk of Oct 20th):

BOTH GYMS:

BP 71

Really not much new....heading into fall and not ready for snow...already had some though...much too early! Launched BP 71 at both gyms now and members are loving it......they say it's pretty hard! I have to say it's one of the easiest ones I've learned, but many of the tracks are physically hard! Great stuff though!

Drop me a line and tell me what's happening in your world!

Wishing all of you in my Les Mills circle the best always~
Keep things real and keep "turnin' it up!"

ABOUT ME:

~I have been teaching Bodypump since 2004, and trained on release 49. Becoming a part of the Les Mills family is one of the best things I've ever done. I first became really passionate about fitness and strength training when I transformed my body in 2001 through the Body for Life program from Bill Phillips.

~I am a mother of two boys; Eric was born in Jan 1995 and Brian was born in Aug 1996. Brian was born with leukemia and had a pretty rough life early on. He had two bone marrow transplants and is now free of leukemia, but has many of the complications that come from transplant and treatment. He has a website that follows his journey; feel free to visit it at: www.caringbridge.org/visit/briandaubach.

~I have been married to Jeff since June of 1985. We met at Baylor Univ. Med Center in Dallas, Tx. where I worked as an xray tech and he worked as a nurse in the emergency room....ahhhh, hospital romance! Jeff went on to become a nurse anesthetist (putting people to sleep!), and I gave up my medical job to become a full time mom.

~Teaching pump is my mental health break from all of lifes challenges, but it also brings me great joy where I meet some awesome members and fellow instructors!

~I currently teach for two fine facilities (YMCA & Gold's Gym). They each have their own great, unique qualities and members.

~Mondays: 9:30am at Twin Rivers YMCA in Valley, Ne.
~Tuesdays: Noon at Gold's Gym north in Omaha, Ne.
~Thursdays: Noon at Gold's Gym south in Omaha, Ne.

~I am originally from Colorado, but I have lived in Texas and Virginia, and now currently reside in Nebraska. This is where Brian had his bone marrow transplants, and because of lung damage from transplant, we moved here from Colorado's high altitude so he could be free of full time oxygen.

Drop me a line and tell me your story!
Thanks for visiting!
Stay strong, stay fit, stay healthy!

Hi Nikki! Hope things are going well your way. I didn't make it to the Super Quarterly in Chicago this year. We are in the midst of moving and things are c-r-a-z-y. Guess what? My son has moved to Lincoln and is attending University of Nebraska for his PhD--so we go through Omaha once a month! If we get a chance I would love to take one of your classes sometime. One can never get too much PUMP! Take Care.
