I am not a typical fitness instructor. I encourage letting loose, smiling, being loud, making mistakes!

I am not perfect, nor do I want to be. I am REAL. I believe in dreams, happiness, wellness, support, community and love.

I was early 2015 when my primary care physician told me I needed to do cardio because of borderline high cholesterol. I joined Retro Fitness and tried all sorts of cardio only to discover that I do not like “cardio”.

It is HARD work! However, I can dance for an hour, unaware that an hours’ time had passed!

A friend invited me to take a Zumba class and I was hooked ever since!!! Music, dance, a friendly instructor – that was the start of my wellness journey. I have since lost weight and lowered my cholesterol without medication!

I became a Certified Zumba Instructor in December of 2016.

I am BEYOND excited to share what I learned.

· Music makes me smile!

· I love connecting with people

· Dancing relieves stress

· I look forward to seeing the friends I have made every week!

I promise to provide a judgement free zone. Anyone and everyone CAN do Zumba!!! Music is universal! It speaks one language to people of all ages!

Dance, sweat, smile, make new friends AND most importantly, get healthy!

One love. Dance. Zumba.

 

Lynn

Spin class instructor

My name is Lynn Lord and my fitness journey started in 1990 . I needed to lose some weight before my high school reunion . It started with Jane Fonda videos . When a really good gym membership came along I joined along with my son . I would go to classes before work . Then I realized that aerobics would not change the shape of my body I started lifting weights . Resistance training is very important to preserve bone density especially in women . I challenged myself by becoming a spin instructor .

Franky

Personal trainer

My name is Franky Simon the founder of Simon Says Fitness. After working in the health care industry taking care of patients for over 20 years I decided I wanted a career change. Instead of taking care of patients I wanted to keep people from becoming patients by introducing fitness into their lives. Truth be told movement is the only medicine you need with proper guidance to add years to your life span. I’m a certified professional fitness trainer, and also hold a nutritional specialist certification through the National Academy Of Sports Medicine (NASM).

As your personal trainer, my training style will vary based on my assessment of you at your first consultation. My assessment will give me the insight and data needed to develop a program specifically for you and your fitness goals.

My training style is corrective and adaptive in nature as I continuously identify improper movement patterns, muscle imbalances and make the necessary training adjustments to improve muscle control. The protocols used will include various form of basic stability, mobility drills, strength training, reactive training, and additional applications for performance to help improve cardiovascular performance. Let’s start this fitness journey together Simon Says Fitness.
