Did you know all of his about me?

This November, we're highlighting our awesome group fitness instructors here at The Zoo! Over the month, each instructor will be competing to increase their class turnout and win a $100 Lululemon gift card 💪 Check out our class schedule and drop in for some classes this week: bit.ly/3ESNY3m

Today, we're featuring Carla, our GRIT instructor!

I’m Carla Wilson and I’m originally from Brunswick, GA. I have an environmental engineering degree from Mercer University (where I met and married my husband, Luke). I enjoyed working for many years in that field but began staying home with our three kids (now 18, 15, and 12) when my husband became a chaplain in the Navy (he is currently stationed at the NWS). I was a homeschooling mom of three while my husband was on his second deployment. I decided this deployment I was going to get out and try something new, and I found my first Zumba class! Amazing! It was like the dance classes I enjoyed throughout my youth, but for adults! I was a participant for years before I bit the bullet and went to Zumba training in August 2017! I began teaching immediately. Since then my certifications have snowballed! I got my group exercise certification next, then barre, BodyPump, and Grit. I recently passed my personal training exam and am an ACE-certified personal trainer as well. I enjoy all forms of fitness and appreciate and honor my body for what it does for me every day. Who knows what’s next?! Actually, I think it might be cycling.
