Terre's story

A couple of years ago I was sitting on the couch and I made a comment, like I had always done, about being fat or out of shape (I don’t even remember what I said). My husband must have been sick of hearing it because he said, “Why don’t you do something about it?” ----SMACK!!!--- I mean he might as well have just slapped me, because that is what it felt like. For once he was right. Why did I just complain about it and never do anything? So, I bought a Turbo Jam DVD and have been working out every since.

I now maintain within the healthy range, and I am in much better shape than I was, and I am much stronger and more confident.

As I started working out I realized that people need to move. Our bodies were made to move. The saying, “Use it or lose it” applies to movement, strength, balance, agility, all that stuff that goes along with our bodies.

So I decided that I wanted to do something to help people, but I didn’t know what. I know I am not the stereo typical Personal Trainer type person, but I thought that I could get certified as one and start there. I am a certified personal trainer, and I would love to work with people helping them get healthy in that field, but it wasn’t until I found Nia that I felt I could really help a larger number of people and in a totally complete—mind/body—way.

"As a certified personal trainer, PiYo Instructor, and licensed Nia Teacher - White Belt, I am sure by working together, we can find something that will inspire you to move."
