"Fitness for me is as much about mental well-being as it is physical. The emotional benefit I have received the form of stress reduction and a healthy body image has been measurable and sustainable!"

I began teaching about 8 years ago after being a long time member. My good friend and fellow instructor, Dale, asked if I wanted to try out. I was nervous but jumped at the chance to be able to teach others this awesome workout! I taught for a few years and started taking my workouts more seriously and i was in the best shape of my life..then I moved to Atlanta! I couldn't find a workout to even compare to The FIRM. I was lost and started stressing! Good thing I had my videos to keep me sane! I even got a group of neighbors together a few times a week to workout with me! I wanted to show them that The FIRM could change their lives...they were hooked! After moving back to Columbia the first thing I did was take a class and then started teaching again a few months later!

There is a real science in The FIRM workout which was never more evident than after I gave birth to my daughter, Emma Kate. I credit my post-delivery recovery on a healthy and sensible diet and The FIRM! As a registered nurse and AFAA certified instructor I understand the physics behind The FIRMs different classes and techniques and can say without a doubt..IT WORKS!!!
