A New Breed of Fitness Professionals – Are you Ready?
It is a bit shocking when I realize I have been teaching fitness since 1975 right out of high school. I started teaching basic dance aerobics, which were the first version of high/low aerobics by Jacki Sorensen. I taught my first class with a vinyl 45 record album on a record player which was a long way from today’s Pandora, iPod or iPhone.

Pilates can help alleviate pain from breast cancer operative procedures, restore joint mobility and tissue integrity, and help regain lost strength. Most importantly, Pilates can be a gateway for a true “Return to Life” for many women, as the title of Joseph Pilates’ popular book states.
