Rolling Hills Swim Club

My name is Laura Menzie and I was born and raised in Richmond, VA.  After graduating in 2003 from N.C. State University with a B.S. in Meteorology, I married my husband Neil, an officer in the Air Force. Six moves and 4 kids later, I am happy to be living again in my home state!
I have always known the importance of working out and staying active, but as a stay-at-home mom with young kids, finding time to exercise was always difficult. Gym memberships were purchased and rarely used, an elliptical collected dust in the corner, and though I successfully completed a half marathon, nothing turned into a consistent lifestyle.

Hi! My name is Paige Turner and I have been in the DC Metro area for almost 14 years.  I am a California girl at heart and received my BS in Biochemistry from Cal Poly, in San Luis Obispo, CA.  I was reluctant to leave the beaches of California, but followed my high school sweetheart to the East coast right after we married in 2003.   Virginia is now the place we call home and its where we welcomed our three children. 

I discovered PowerFull fitness through a friend and felt so at home with the instructors and the community.  Three years later I am ready to jump all into the special kind of crazy and start teaching. I’m thrilled to join this amazing team and hope you leave all PowerFull Fitness classes encouraged and empowered in your fitness journey.

I was born and raised in Utah, graduated from the University of Notre Dame where I also ran track, and ultimately, I fell in love with a sailor, married him and landed in Springfield, Virginia. Together we have three beautiful daughters and a lifestyle that simply does not involve sitting still. I cannot remember a time in my life where I was not involved in some sort of athletic activity and that love of exercise has carried on through my entire life and remains a big part of who I am today. I truly believe fitness is a lifelong pursuit and the foundation for success starts in childhood. That is why I have sought out my fitness instructor certification and chosen to focus on our littlest and most energetic athletes – our kids! Youth exercise looks a lot like playing games, and it is, but in every toss of the ball, every jump of the rope their little minds, bodies and souls are getting stronger! Come play!
