I am excited to be a part of the LJ’s Fitness family. I am a senior at ELCO High.   I plan on going to college to study exercise science to one day have a fitness institution of my own. A little more about myself is that I moved here from Jamaica a few years ago. I participate in school activities such as musicals, the ELCO choir, track and field as a sprinter and soccer as a forward. I am heavily involved in my church and community activities. Those activities include church cook outs, youth group, voluntary weed whacking and a community project which involved being on a poster and a billboard to help reduce the use of alcohol and drugs among teens.

In 2016 I developed a desire to learn more about the benefits of Yoga, which then led to a strong desire to want to share this information through teaching. I researched Yoga schools and found the perfect fit with a faith-based Yoga teacher Training – YogaFaith. In May, 2017, I graduated from YogaFaith with my 200 hour R-YFT Certificate and am a RYT®200 with the Yoga Alliance.

Lynn offered me the opportunity to take some of the Solver Sneaker Classes and I now teach some of those classes. The seniors inspire me! I am thankful to be a part of LJ’s Fitness team and work along side of the most amazing staff and members!

My fitness journey began about nine years ago when I found myself as a single mother of two children with one of them being an infant. The only thing in my life I had control over was my body so I decided I would work on making my body look and feel better. I joined a gym and dedicated myself to go every day and try to do something. Some days it was just the elliptical. I worked up to circuit training and weightlifting and then I eventually got over my fear and joined a fitness class. I was nervous, scared and self-conscious. What if I mess it up? What if they talk about me? What if I am not good enough?

I was so wrong! The people in that fitness class were encouraging, supportive and my biggest cheerleaders. I have loved group fitness ever since. It not only is good for my health but good for my mental state. It’s a way to be around like-minded people that share common goals. It’s about building a community and hey you might even find a best friend along the way So come out and try a class, we might mess up, but we will laugh and do it together!

I am a Body Pump instructor. I am a mom. I am a student. I am a warrior.

I recently became an Insanity instructor. I love Insanity because not only does it make you physically stronger, it also makes you mentally stronger. I became an Insanity instructor because I love helping people reach their full potential. During the day I work at an emotional support school where I push my students to be the best versions of themselves daily. I feel if we all have someone who

believes in us there is nothing that we cannot conquer.

She hopes to use her newfound RYT200yoga, meditation & mindfulness skills to help “heal" her patients, her frontline coworkers, & beyond. Yoga at has absolutely helped her find a renewed sense of community, belonging and purpose. She wishes to inspire others to step into their power and go from “surviving to thriving.”

In her free time, she loves to spend time with her husband, daughter and dog, mostly adventuring around the great outdoors.

     I got into fitness years ago when I looked at a picture and was shocked. I wanted a life style change not just a diet. I was never one to really enjoy exercise until now. I have made the gym my second home. I decided that I would start with group fitness so, I got certified with AFAA. Then I had Lynn and a few others suggest I get certified in Les Mill's body pump, so I did that too!!  I also teach Silver Sneakers and SPIN!
     I want to be a part of your fitness journey because I enjoy watching people reach for their dreams. I also like to encourage people to take care of them self and to have fun doing it. I am so excited to be a part of LJ's family!

I am so excited to be a part of the LJ’s fitness family!! My fitness background is Karate and I am a former Kickboxing instructor. I accidently signed up for Tim’s Spin Class and loved it so much I decided to become an instructor. Instructing Spin has been such a rewarding experience!! I also enjoy Horseback riding and love spending my free time at the Barn hanging out with my buddy Red (my favorite horse). I love camping and being in the outdoors. Random adventures are my favorite! I am originally from Albuquerque New Mexico, but I now call Pennsylvania my home. I look forward to helping our members achieve their fitness goals!!

TAEBO – Take Action Execute Believe and Overcome

I believe that in order to change your body, you must change your mind.  Fitness is done from the inside out.  I am a Taebo fitness instructor from Harrisburg, Pa, and was certified by Master Billy Blanks, the Creator of Taebo.  I love teaching and enjoy watching others change themselves and overcome life obstacles.
