My fitness journey started when I discovered triathlon races. To build strength I started the standard

solo gym workout. One day in the locker room I overheard a few women talking about the group fitness

class they were taking, and exclaiming that it is the highlight of their day.

How could a workout be the highlight of somebody’s day I thought? A workout is a means to get better in your sport discipline, not a

source of fun and pleasure right? So I decided to try it for myself. Yoga, cycle, core training, resistance

training, boxing, you name it, I tried it all. I got hooked instantly. Now I was looking forward to each

workout, to the great music, to see my instructor. Started out in the back of the room, moved to the

middle, later become front row regular, and finally got certified to be a group fitness instructor myself.

Today I am certified in a variety of group fitness formats like Bodypump, Core and Mat Pilates. I get to

be a source of accountability for my members – and vice versa! There is no better feeling than knowing

that you make a difference in someone’s life.

Other fun facts about me: I am two time Ironman finisher, did several marathons, long distance open-

water swims, and long bicycle tours. About a decade ago I decided to go green and start bicycle

commuting. After I met my husband he decided to trade his four wheels for two bicycle wheels and join

me. No regrets!
