Jerrie
Jerrie has been teaching Les Mills programs since 2004 with my first certification for BodyPump. She never really enjoyed working out, but took the training to prove to her middle school son that you can do anything if you just apply yourself. She was very shy and self-conscious and one of those members who came to class 30 minutes early to make sure she got a spot to hide in the back of the room. When Jerrie earned her Pump Certification, she found out just how much she loved teaching and her self-confidence bloomed like a rose. This started a fire within, and a year later, she got certified in BodyStep, soon to be followed by BodyCombat. She also earned Silver Sneakers and various YMCA certifications. She loves teaching to all age groups, seeing members grow their strength, endurance, and self-confidence. She has been married for many years to her wonderful husband Jon and is blessed with two awesome children: Zach and Torrie. She is also an animal lover. In whatever free time she has, she loves to read, bead, and watch NCIS.

Sue
"I have been teaching "aerobics" since 1977... And I can still bring it!
I love gardening, walking my dogs and cooking healthy delicious meals.
My active lifestyle is paying huge dividends now that I am in my 60's. No health issues and having a strong body to do what I like is such a joy. So keep at it! It's worth all the effort."
