After 11 years of teaching outdoor boot camp classes, I’ve taught my last scheduled class. I’ve put down my dumbbells and I’m preparing for the next chapter. I just want to thank all of you, whether we met during Stroller Strides or Body Rock, you have all had an impact on me. I’ve taught many of you through pregnancy, watched your kids grow, watched you get married, been there through tough times, happy times and it’s been such an amazing experience.
Body Rock became the place where if you hated working out, we’d make you love it. The reason this happened is because all of you created an atmosphere where it was women empowering women! There has never been any competition. It didn’t matter what age, race, religion, size or shape anyone was- it’s just women supporting and motivating each other. With everything going on in the world today, I’m so honored to have been a part of this amazing group.
I want to give a shout out to Karyn Johnson and Patricia Staszeski. Without these two, Body Rock would have ended two years ago. They have been such a tremendous part of our success. I know you’ll all miss Pat’s “Do it With a Smile” when you’re on your 100th rep or Karyn’s “Let’s Do This” ( You all just read that how Karyn says it 😂). I cannot thank them enough.
And thank you to all of you....all of the fun events, the annual White Elephant Holiday Party, the infamous PIG that Ashley Ellis just realized she's stuck with, plus all of your emails, text messages and kind words. I know I seem strong in person, but when I was in private, they all made me cry 😊💪🏻💜
