What inspires you?
Group fitness; I’m a HUGE fan! I feed off the energy in the room and I’m notorious for numerous and repetitive fist bumps!
What’s your fitness background?
My fitness journey began in 2014. Something just clicked; I wandered into a rowing class and have been hooked on group exercise ever since.
In 11 months I lost over 100 pounds. You’ll find me working out in many local studios and gyms here in Bloomington and a few in Indy.
I compete annually in the Indoor Rowing Championships and have my eye on a Tough Mudder race, trail cycling and more exciting outdoor activities this summer.
Any fitness, academic background or certifications?
I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Schwinn Indoor Cycling instructor, Indo-Row, Shockwave, and TRX instructor.
When I’m not working out (or occasionally sleeping), I work as an IT Consultant in cybersecurity.
What do you like about fitness teaching at Ethos?
I met Tatiana in IndoRow and Shockwave classes. She roped me into my first cycling class a few years back, as a cross training option. Once I got over my initial sore behind (not to worry, we have gel seats for the bikes!), I’ve been hooked on cycling ever since. It is great that Bloomington now has a world class cycling studio.
