How long have you been a fitness instructor? 

I have been a fitness instructor for three years now

What sparked your interest in leading a fitness class? 

I have always been interested in health and fitness. Being a fitness instructor sparked my interest because I love helping people reach their goals and I also love sharing my love for exercise with others.

How do you stay healthy?

I try to exercise four or five days a week and try to maintain a healthy diet. Most of my life I stayed healthy by plying tennis regularly. However, now I really enjoy outdoor activities such as biking and hiking. 

How do you think this class benefits others?

I think my classes benefit others because it provides a sense of community. Achieving health and fitness goals becomes much more attainable when you are in a supportive community. Students and faculty members are not only inspiring others by coming to my classes but they inspire me to be a better instructor and give them the best experience possible. 

What do you think is the most important part of being healthy? 

I think that happiness is the most important part about staying healthy. If you are not enjoying your choice of activity to stay healthy, then you are more likely to get bored or burnt out faster. If your going to invest your time to be healthy, people should definitely engage in activities that they enjoy. Enjoying fitness will help motivate yourself and others to reach their goals.
