Profile

I have been certified through AFAA since 1996 when I began teaching step aerobics and hi/lo. I went on to include other class formats including Reebok Slide (these are pretty much non-existent now), Interval and Cirtuit styles, and Stability ball. I also taught some shallow water aerobics and briefly was able to teach a 'cardio-chair' class for elderly which I really enjoyed. I obtained certifications in personal training and weight training, (although I never really did any personal training) but I have lead group strength classes. Body Pump is my favorite of all classes and I have plans to be the best I can be in the program.

I am a very quiet person when I am not teaching and can surprise someone when I actually get up in front of people to teach.

This 'introvert' part of me is also an artist, and website designer. I also enjoy composing music (classical or soundtrack), but dont get me wrong - I enjoy hard core music too, I just cant compose it myself!

I am also a Mom.
I have two wonderful children, ages 6 and 3, a boy and a girl. My boy is largely energetic with a wonderful personality and is a bit ADHD. My daughter is amazing and loves to dance, sing and draw (on everything). Both of them think Body Pump is pretty cool.

Oh gosh yes! I loved every minute of it. I did the BC and BP intensives on Saturday. Body Combat is way too much fun not to have at your gym - you MUST do it!

Amy	Wendi - Hang in there. Your passion will show through and you will come into your own. Then, everyone will be knocking down the door to come to your classes. Good luck! - Amy

Hi! You're going to love the Quarterly! I did it there last year and had a great time! Lack of funds is keeping me home this year - maybe I will catch one in the Spring.

Keep an eye on the website. At some point you may see a more detailed schedule. If I remember correctly it wasn't available this early in 08 either. The only thing you really have to worry about getting a spot for is RPM. The rest of the classes were in this HUGE room and no one ever asked us who we were - we just went in and got a spot. Get there early to get a Pump spot, though. Combat was pretty packed, but I was a FRD in that class! :)

Enjoy!!!!
